Perfect Wizardry clone...

I remember first seeing Wizardry 1 on my friend’s Apple II computer back in the late 70s, and to this day it remains one of my all-time favorite games. I have wanted to re-play it since, and especially on my iPhone/iPad. I’ve been looking for the original, classic Wizardry but it does not exist.

This game is a fantastic clone - the floors are different but so far the gameplay is identical and I believe the monsters are as well.

Looking forward to getting into the depths here...

Great game

Love this game. Worth a try. Classic perma-death game.

Love old school

This brings back memories. For thoes having trouble it's not a game to be finished in a day short Ventures first! Get characters up lvl graph paper a map. Aww too bad you have to use pencil and paper, so you don't get lost.
Great stuff love it

Game just isn't what it should be

I'm tired of the problems with this. It is a great throwback to games like Wizardry but in the end it has too many bugs. The iCkoud backups don't work. In wiZardry days I would always have a day to day floppy backup in case I wiped which is what the iCloud backup is supposed to do and doesn't. Wiz had some built in cheats for people who had wiped their party for the 40th time, this doesn't. And after nearly 26 revisions on this game the %}}ing random number generator still isn't fixed resulting in 1 HP gain > 50% of the time. I just can't say this game is worth it anymore. By now the maker should have fixed these problems. I'm done with Sorcerer and you should be too.

THANK YOU!!

I'm so excited someone ported these games! I've been scouring the app store for months for games similar to wizardry and just found these. I would of paid for them but they are even free!! Plz do 6, 7, and 8 and I know I would pay well for them as well as friends of mine. You truly deserve to be rewarded for your effort and consideration to people in USA that can never seem to get games similar to wizardry translated or ported over to new technology. Again, thank you!!

You don't get it

Everyone who is down rating this game doesn't fully understand it. I've read them all and the stuff ur complaining about is what makes the game a challenge. THIS GAME IS GREAT

Disappointing to see HP problem isn't fixed.

Just downloaded this game to my new phone hoping that the HO issue would be fixed, but it isn't.

In the Wizardry game, characters didn't start getting 1-2 HP per level until at least level 10. Lower level characters gained HP in bigger increments - especially characters with high vitality scores. Fighters, samurai and lords could easily get 10+ per level. Without that, most characters wouldn't be able to survive fighting monsters with spells or breath attacks.

Please fix! Sorcerer used to do the HP gains more in line with Wizardy. It'd be great to play the game again.

Nice port...

Shaking the phone for rolling bonus during char creation is a pita though....and such a variation: low 5-9 to decent 18-19 after a few shakes to good 25-28 after hundred shakes and one time so far it came up with a whopping +37! Enough for a Knight right off the bat..
"The minimum statistic scores required to qualify for each of the classes is as follows:
Fighters need 11 strengths.
Wizards need 11 I.Q.
Priests need 11 piety and may not be of neutral alignment.
Thieves need 11 agility and may not be good.
Bishops need 12 I.Q. and 12 piety and may not be neutral.
Samurai need 15 strength, 11 I.Q., 10 piety, 14 vitality, and 10 agility and must not be evil.
Knight need 15 strength, 12 I.Q., 12 piety, 15 vitality, 14 agility and 15 luck. They must be good.
Ninjas need 17 in all their statistics, and can only be evil. "

Wizardry is so fun

Thanks for porting over Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord to my ipod! I remembered this game so well, because it was the first game my dad and I actually finished. I really appreciate changing all of the priest and wizard spell names (because in the original I needed the manual to remember which spell did what). The game is fun and challenging as I remember it. Now back to re-rolling my character stats!

Edit: Please release Sorcerer #3 in the USA! I see it the Japanese store, but I can't download it.
