About Wizardry Variants Daphne

■ Story
Once every 100 years, the Abyss opens. It is a curse of death that consumes the continent. A Warlock who coveted Death, devoured people and animals and enveloped the world in despair. For thousands of years the line of kings has sealed the Abyss. But now, the king has vanished, and the world is being consumed by death, moment by moment. Resistance itself is meaningless. There is naught but to perish.

■ "Wizardry Variants Daphne" Overview
"Wizardry Variants Daphne" is a 3D dungeon RPG, a completely new addition to the "Wizardry" series. The game system follows the play cycle of the traditional 3D dungeon RPGs, with players progressing deeper into dungeons called Abyss, by repeatedly getting stronger, resupplying in towns, and battling and collecting items in dungeons. Battles with enemies proceed in a command battle system, and a formation of up to six characters, including the player, can enjoy highly strategic battles that make full use of spells and skills.

About Wizardry

Wizardry is a computer RPG released in the United States in 1981. Core elements such as party management, maze exploration, monster battles, and character progression had a great influence on RPGs that followed, and it is considered one of the originators of RPGs. It is a timeless masterpiece that still boasts strong following around the world more than 40 years after its initial launch, with numerous follow-up titles released to this day. In 2020, we acquired the copyrights to Wizardry 6, Wizardry 7, Wizardry 8, and Wizardry Gold, as well as the domestic and international trademark rights to Wizardry from the Wizardry series.
