Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a full 3D remake of the first game in the legendary Wizardry series of RPGs.
The first party-based RPG video game ever released, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was a direct inspiration to series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Digital Eclipse's revival preserves the appeal of the classic, with many upgrades for modern role-playing game fans.
Dungeon Crawling, Deluxe
Craft your own party of adventurers and head into the labyrinth at the behest of the mad overlord Trebor, in search of the amulet stolen by the evil wizard Werdna. Battle groups of challenging enemies, avoid hidden traps, and make your way deeper into the dungeon as you prepare for the ultimate battle: Facing Werdna himself.
Commitment to Accuracy
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is built directly on top of the original 1981 game's code. Although it looks all new, underneath the hood is the authentic game. You can even view the original Apple II interface as you play.
Challenge Without Hassle
While the well-known difficulty of the enemies has not been altered, quality-of-life improvements have been added in every area. Party management, navigation, spellcasting, and combat have all been significantly enhanced.
A Legend Reborn
If you're just discovering the legendary Wizardry franchise, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the perfect jumping-in point for new players. Series veterans will love the gorgeous new graphics and sound, and the streamlined interface.

Past Blast
It's like I was transported back 40 years, but with modern interfaces. I didn't realize that I could get sucked back into the old school CRGPs but I have. I don't even mind having the use graph paper to map things out. This can be overly repetitious but still bunches of fun.

Wizardry Rebooted
Great job and nice graphics. Not overdone. Wish they kept the cost of staying at the INN and different rates of healing but it does make it more friendly. Would just like to have an old school option. Also would like to see a way to play the game in the original interface. Other than that a very nice reproduction and really itches my proving grounds obession.

Fun from '81
Updated graphics are welcome, but the best thing about this reboot of the classic is that it's unchanged. Some quality of life updates, and some optional rules to tone down the brutal RNG of the origional.

Wizardy on Linux
Installed this on Linux Mint 22 via Lutris and appears to be fully functional and stable (a few hours in it). As for the game itself, they did a great job on this update. I don't notice any changes to the original mechanics. They just added a useful auto-mapper and nice graphical updates. Wish everyone did "classic updates" as competently as this.
