Release Date: October 15, 2024

Wizardry Variants Daphne is set to launch on iOS and Android devices. Developed by Studio 2PRO and published by Drecom, it will also be available in both Japanese and English with a PC version planned for Steam at a later date.

Key Features:

  • Japanese and English
  • Mobile-friendly controls designed for one-handed play
  • 3D first-person dungeon exploration, reminiscent of the Wizardry series
  • Customizable allies from various classes and races
  • Challenging gameplay with a high difficulty level, featuring complex traps and enemies
  • Character designs by Yusuke Kozaki, boss monsters by Katsuya Terada, soundtracks by Hitoshi Sakimoto

The game is set in the Abyss, where players must explore dungeons to uncover the cause of the curse that resurfaces every 100 years after the disappearance of the king who usually seals it.

What other mobile RPGs stay true to classic series elements?

I liked Wiz 8 much more than I did any of the earlier ones

Really? I could never even get it to run.

The fighting could get tedious(often and repetitive) but the skill tree and classes were truly great in my opinion. Felt like a true accomplishment when I finally beat it. I could have had tech issues back in the day...way to long ago for me to remember but it when it came to getting games to run, I was pretty tenacious.

These days, Steam or GOG just make old games to work. I replayed D&D SSI games from the early 90's recently without a problem.
