Wizardry I - Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord — About this game
The town provides the rhythm of each expedition: recruit companions, buy supplies, rest and return to the dungeon with a balanced front and rear line. In the maze, doors and intersections require careful navigation; battles ask you to assign actions rather than react with quick button presses. Treasure can improve the party, but traps and exhausted spell reserves make retreat an important decision. Recover Trebor’s amulet from the wizard Werdna beneath the castle.
