Developed by Starfish and released in 1999, Wizardry Empire is a classic first-person dungeon crawler RPG for the Game Boy Color. Originally exclusive to Japan, it faithfully adapts the notoriously challenging grid-based exploration, deep character creation, and turn-based combat that defined the legendary Wizardry series.
How to Play
Your goal is to build a balanced party of adventurers, map out treacherous multi-level labyrinths, and survive encounters with deadly monsters. For browser play, the Game Boy Color controls are mapped to your keyboard: use the Arrow Keys to navigate the menus and dungeons, press Z for the A button (confirm/attack), X for the B button (cancel/back), and Enter or Shift for Start and Select.
Tips
Always map your surroundings carefully and do not push too far into a dungeon without an escape plan; retreating to heal is better than losing your party. When building your initial team, ensure you have dedicated spellcasters and a character skilled in disarming traps to survive the lower levels.
