Description

Wizardry 8 is an epic fantasy RPG that picks up where Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant left off. You may recall that all hell had broken loose at the end of Wizardry 7. The Dark Savant had taken flight with a device called the Astral Dominae, an incredibly powerful artifact containing the secret of life itself. Following him are two powerful races, the T'Rang and the Umpani, as well as your own brave party of adventurers. Everyone is headed to Dominus, a world on the cusp of the Cosmic Circle, birthplace of the Astral Dominae and home of the Cosmic Lords. Many paths will converge on Dominus, and many long-hidden secrets will be revealed.

Main Features:
  • Create your own characters from 11 races and 15 character classes.
  • Hear your characters come alive with the new Personality system.
  • A new combat system. Fight over 100 types of monsters. Cast over 100 different animated spells. Defend against attacks from all sides at once.
  • Import characters from Bane of the Cosmic Forge, Crusaders of the Dark Savant, or Wizardry Gold.
  • Multiple beginnings and endings.
