The portal of despair opens again. The labyrinth calls you to destruction. Revel in the endless dangers, relish the risk, devour the rewards. Savor the risk. Wizardry Variants Daphne carries on the lineage of the classic RPG series, Wizardry. The portal to the labyrinth of despair, where even destruction is pleasure, has opened once again. ■ 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. Inheriting the power to seal the Abyss over generations, kings have continued to protect the kingdom from its curse. 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. ■ Adventure with allies Experience an adventure of your very own with unique allies based on combinations of classes and races. ■ Difficulty with a bite Perilous traps and mighty foes await in the dungeon. Take on a high difficulty that only Wizardry can offer. ■ Intuitive Controls Play a full 3D dungeon anytime, anywhere, with one hand on your upright smartphone. ■ Cadre of renowned creators Main Character Design: Yusuke Kozaki Manga artist and illustrator; in addition to writing manga, he also does design work for anime and games, and is well known for the fine touches in his character designs.
