About

A spin-off of the Wizardry series, Wizardry Xth: Academy of Frontier is set in a military academy where the students are sent into randomly generated dungeons to train. The game uses a team of up to 6 students, with various alignments, from 10 races with 15 professions. The students also have traits that will influence the teams stats and abilities through a compatibility system. The game uses a turn-based combat system with a new mechanic that will change the enemies element as time passes. Outside of combat various places of the school can be visited and new items or weapons can be crafted from things found in the dungeon. The game was only released in Japan.
