Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord

This one is for players who like old-school dungeons and don't mind a real challenge. The mood is grim and a little sarcastic: you walk down endless stone corridors where one bad step can wipe your whole party. If you want to see where modern party-based RPGs started, there's no better place to begin. What you'll like: - The first few hours go into building your party and scouting carefully, deciding who tanks, who casts, and not losing anyone on the first hallway. - Combat is turn-based and asks for planning rather than quick reflexes, so it suits slow evening sessions just fine. - The original 1981 code runs underneath a fully rebuilt 3D look, so the mechanics feel honest and untouched. - Series veterans get the classic design they remember, with friendlier controls for spells and movement.
