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.

Never played this game; started the Wizardry series with Wizardry 5, with Wizardry 6 being my favourite of the series, some 32 years after first playing it. Felt I needed to explore the true roots of Wizardry and one of the formative games of the entire genre. Only up to Level 4 for my characters but enjoying the game a lot. I do like that I am able to pick and choose among some of the old vs modernized gameplay/QoL options. Always liked the class change options in Wizardry. So far, exploration and combat have been fun although my mage has been surprisingly useless to date, I do not like the vim/age mechanic and plan to turn it off for resting - only my magic users ever need to rest and hard to accept that they get older so much faster than my fighters. Resting should not make the 'resters' older than the rest of the team. Also would have liked an option to allow my back row to have reach weapons so they aren't so useless. Afterall. when facimg two groups of enemies, both can hit me while my response capability is much more limited. But quibbles aside, one can see why Wizardry 1 founded a genre.

great start but not quite playable yet..
the amount of attribute points a new character starts with is supposed to be a RANDOM amount. some of us enjoy rolling dozens of characters in order to have 20+ attribute points. also needs mouse support. I'll check back periodically to see if these two things are fixed before proceeding further into the game. thanks for making this game!

Wizardry Proving Grounds Good Nostalgia
Good nostalgic fun. Played this nearly 40 years ago, and while it's not as fancy as some, the graphics upgrade is super and the game is still challenging. Patience is the key!
