Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord had a nice run in the west with 8 games between 1981 and 1996, but Japan took the Wizardry IP and created more than 4 times the content made in the west between 1991 and 2022. Dragon Quest, Final Fantasy, and Megami Tensei were all greatly influenced by Wizardry. Traces of Wizardry references are found in many other popular Japanese media too.

In this video I very briefly cover the Wizardry series and its influences on the JRPG genre and other media. A full 3D remake of Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord that's in early access on Steam is officially releasing on May 23, 2024.
