Wizardry Variants Daphne - Released

[HiddenX]

The free-to-play dungeon crawler Wizardry Variants Daphne has been released on Steam:

Wizardry Variants Daphne

3D Dungeon RPG 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.

I have such fond memories of Wizardry. I don't understand how it has come to this.

Free is good, if there are no online requirements I'll be giving this one a shot at some point.

Yeah, Wiz 8 was the last really good game, but that's what happens when you get a bunch of clones made by other developers.

I bought Labyrinth of Lost Souls when it was on sale on GOG a few weeks back but haven't really delved too deep with it yet. Has anyone finished it here on the 'Watch and would comment more about it? I find I get excited in the initial phases of party building and exploration with some of these Wizardry likes but then gradually fizzle out. Elminage Gothic is a good example which I got a fair way into. They're solid games but for me, require serious investment to succeed with.

I quite enjoyed Elminage Gothic yet haven't played Labyrinth of Lost Souls yet, it's sitting on the back burner right now but I plan on getting to it.

There's one called Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land that I didn't think was bad, but it's a PS2 exclusive. Easy enough to play with an emulator though.

Was looking at this but reviews are filled with tales of it being a mobile gacha game Where are you, Monomyth?!
