About

First-person dungeon crawler where you assemble a party to descend beneath Llylgamyn's temple and seal a reality-warping vortex. A renegade sorcerer called The Sorn has imprisoned the demi-god Gatekeeper at the vortex's heart, and without his help, the rift will consume existence itself. You'll navigate grid-based mazes filled with outcasts and conjured beasts, fighting turn-based battles using an overhauled spell system and new character classes. The game lets you import veterans from earlier Wizardry scenarios or build a fresh roster—your choice. Mazes are larger than previous entries, and creature interactions go beyond simple combat. Success means finding the Brotherhood's High Priest, retrieving the Orb of Llylgamyn, then pushing deeper to confront The Sorn. Expect old-school difficulty: mapping by hand, permanent death, and resource management that punishes carelessness.
