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.

Death
Back in 1982 my brother killed my 9th lvl party when he was surprised by a group of gas dragons. I was playing basketball with my neighbor when he told me. I winged the basketball at his head and scored a critical hit! I'm now 55 and he is 58. I still haven't forgiven the BUM. 5 star game and the crpg that started it all for me.

The game is so much fun.
I am having so much fun with this game, I am getting lost a lot and I have been playing 4 hours on the first floor and still getting lost. I really need to get some graph paper, lol. Hatlock's review really says it best, give his upvote "Let's be honest, this is one of the greatest remaster/remakes of all time. In it's current state, the game has so many options to relive the old school experience or shave off all of the pointy (razor sharp, rusty, poisoned, level draining) edges. In the end, what made this game truly shine stand out. It was great, it's still great. Wizardry 1, already inspirational, can now show off it's great ideas and immense fun without players needing to know all of its rules and idiosyncrasies first. That said, you need to engage in the game's systems, understand each monster's peril, carefully manage your resources. What this game takes out: -Needing to create your own game guide while you play (it can still be very useful to draw your own map, but now you can cast a spell to confirm if you are correct and reveal your mistakes) -Needing to grind up a recovery team when things go wrong in the dungeon -Rerolling characters to get decent stats If you liked those things, guess what, the options are still there! What the game puts in: Basically everything from the previous definitive version (the SNES "Nintendo Power" version) including: -Better in game map -colorful enemy sprites and animations -thieves and ninja can hide from the backrow (basically allows them to attack from the back row every other turn) Things that weren't in that version: -lots more QOL features (all optional!) -sweet mini view of what the original game looked like in the bottom right corner (best feature) -mouse controls! (but the keyboard ones are very good) -Your highest party level is noted to help you recruit a recovery team (all of the financial pain of a party wipe, the thrill of the recovery, but none of the grinding). -better DUMAPIC usability and bestiary

My Childhood right here...
Nice playability update to my favorite old dungeon crawler. I'm an old guy. I like old games, especially turn-based dungeon crawler CRPGs. As such, this was the first game I ever obsessed over back in the 80's. Still love it. A classic.

A good throwback - if you're old-school!
For full disclosure, I returned the GOG version and re-purchased it for the Nintendo Switch since that's more portable. I suppsoe if you've got a Steam Deck or whatnot that's not as much of an issue. I never played the original game - I was negative 7 back then - but the old-school charm is lovely if you're willing to put in the time and learn to play the game on its own terms. I do wish the Apple }{ overlay was able to be customized some (it's so small! and it can vanish behind the torch!) but aside from that minor quibble, it's as pure of an old-school dungeon crawler as you can hope for.
