Description

The designer of Wizardry VI and VII brings us this epic tale of classic fantasy roleplaying. The land of Gael Serran is plagued by the evil undead Pharoah. You must assemble a party of six and find the Mavin Blade, the only artifact capable of destroying this abomination once and for all...

The gameplay is standard Wizardry-type six-members-as-one control with the standard races and occupations.

Trivia

The game was slated to be a Virgin Interactive release. When the USA branch of Virgin was shutdown, EA kept its Westwood branch alive. "Swords & Sorcery" (including "NOX") development was continued under the Westwood label. Heuristic Park and Westwood parted ways a year later. Another year later, Activision voiced an interest in publishing the RPG as "Wizards & Warriors"
