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 challenging monsters, avoid hidden traps, and find your way through the dungeon for the ultimate showdown with Werdna himself.

$30 is a little steep in today’s gaming market. I’ll almost definitely pick it up on sale though.

Omg I loved that one! Werdna!

Also loved Crusaders of the Dark Savant, that one was beyond fantastic!

Maybe it was me, but compared to might and magic at the time it was brutal with the difficulty. There was no internet to find out what to do.

It is brutal. The entire series is brutal.

Well, Might & Magic had the advantage of letting you make your moves turn by turn, where’s Wizardry had that weird system where you commit each party member’s action all at once and then let ‘er rip. I always found it strange and also inconvenient.

That’s cool, and the graphics look great. This will probably do well in Japan, since Wizardry was a phenomenon there. I’d pay $30 but I’ll wait until there’s a Switch version.
