In times past, a hero's use of three sacred relics have kept the Scarlet Lotus Castle town safe from a monster invasion. The relics were stored away in three separate dungeons. As time passes, monsters start reappearing again causing unrest among the townsfolk. The king decides to send a party of adventurers into the dungeons to retrieve the relics so they can put a stop to the current monster invasion.

Characters have stats for strength, intelligence, piety, vitality, agility, and luck. Players can also import their characters from Wizardry: The Third Episode - Scripture of the Dark.

The game sticks close to the earliest Wizardry games. The town is explored through a menu, with the town having a tavern, shop. temple, and inn. The game has 3 dungeons to explore plus the training grounds which is a location in which players can gain experience on enemies they have already defeated in the other dungeons.
