About

The third game in Starfish's Empire spin-offs to the Wizardry franchise. The basic flow of the game is the same as before, first creating a character, forming a party at the bar, embarking on dungeon exploration, and proceeding with the story while defeating enemies and collecting items. The characteristics of each character are divided into a wide variety of races such as humans and elves, and occupations such as warriors and magicians, so the feature of this series is that you can perform a wide range of battles and explorations.
