addedWell met, adventurers — it's time for another update to our reimagined version of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord. This time we've tried to focus on player feedback as much as possible, and we're expanding some of the core systems of the game to make the experience more forgiving — but only if you want it to be! Let's dive into what's new.
addedExpanded Inn & Temple Functions Two key buildings in town have been enhanced. All the features of camp can now be accessed in town at the Inn, and you can now rest your whole party with one button press. At the Temple of Cant, you'll find resurrection prices are a little more generous based on the experience of the character you're trying to bring back to the land of the living. What's more, The Temple priests can now restore experience to characters who have been affected by Level Drain.
addedNew Combat Arena In addition to more animations and final textures added to the game, you'll quickly spot a new combat arena. Enjoy fighting for your life in this colossal cave!
addedSave Slot Improvements The previous update brought save slots into existence; this time we're giving players more control over them, including the crucial ability to copy them into other slots. We know backing up your party is important! Updated Combat Logic In the original version of Wizardry, it was not uncommon for your mage to lock in a spell, only to see your target enemy perish before the mage had a chance to act — and by the time the rotation reaches the mage, the precious spell slot is wasted on nobody and nothing. To address this, our team has added new logic to automatically redirect attacks that would otherwise be squandered. Here's how it works in various situations:
changedIf your spell would have targeted an enemy that's already dead, you will instead target a different enemy in the same group.
changedIf your spell would have targeted an enemy group with no living members, you will instead target a different enemy group.

Old School Menu The Old School Menu has become increasingly important as we try to respect the Wizardry experience as each individual player might remember it — a computer game, a console game, or just an RPG that they're experiencing for the first time. These options have expanded, and are important enough that we've split them into their own menu. There are many, from how your starting attributes are distributed to how you prefer to see your characters increase in level — but they are all explained in-game, so hover over each one and see which options best suit your style of play. Don't forget you can also use presets for Original and Classic Console, which is an easy way for experienced players to make the game match what you remember!
Character Recruiting You'll need all the help you can get in Werdna's dungeon. Stop by Gilgamesh's Tavern and you'll find adventurers waiting to be hired to join your party. Some of them are bargains, while some of them will charge more gold for their expertise – but they're worth every penny.
