Prices
Each in the currency that store quoted — not converted: the gap between two rows is the publisher's pricing, not an exchange rate.
Availability
We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.
Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

About
Featuring the GRAMMY® Award-winning score by Winifred Phillips!
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is a full 3D remake of the first game in the legendary Wizardry series of RPGs.
The first party-based RPG video game ever released, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord was a direct inspiration to series like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Digital Eclipse's revival preserves the appeal of the classic, with many upgrades for modern role-playing game fans.
Dungeon Crawling, Deluxe
Craft your own party of adventurers and head into the labyrinth at the behest of the mad overlord Trebor, in search of the amulet stolen by the evil wizard Werdna. Battle groups of challenging enemies, avoid hidden traps, and make your way deeper into the dungeon as you prepare for the ultimate battle: Facing Werdna himself.
Commitment to Accuracy
Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is built directly on top of the original 1981 game's code. Although it looks all new, underneath the hood is the authentic game. You can even view the original Apple II interface as you play.
Challenge Without Hassle
While the well-known difficulty of the enemies has not been altered, quality-of-life improvements have been added in every area. Party management, navigation, spellcasting, and combat have all been significantly enhanced.
A Legend Reborn
If you're just discovering the legendary Wizardry franchise, Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord is the perfect jumping-in point for new players. Series veterans will love the gorgeous new graphics and sound, and the streamlined interface.

Immer noch eines der besten, durchaus tödlichen, RPGs
It is an accurate depiction of the game from the 80's. It's still one of the most difficult and frustrating games, and that has nothing to do with the remake...it's the game. Well done on the remake.
This is a good game that returns to the roots of Wizardry. It’s tough, but we wouldn’t have expected anything else. :)

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 2: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This Game is TRASH I want a refund yet Steam has refused me 10$ I would have taken site credit, Yet 10$ is more then my business is worth to Steam I guess because I WILL NEVER SPEND ANOTHER DOLLAR ON THIS SITE TILL I GET A REFUND FOR THIS GAME ....... 10$ just cost you the 100s a year I would have spent ..however Steam doesn't believe that its USERS ARE WORTH 10 $.... so now I will buy ALL my games from GOG and XBOX ...I have over 100 games in my library and I wasn't worth 10$ to Steam Shows you what they think of us USERS 10$ huh I can be PETTY TO STEAM
I played the original on an Apple II+ and bought this on sale for $10 :) My guys are all level 7, but this has been FAR easier than the original. You can now Google questions to make it go by fast. Awesome game :)
очень хорошая игра, всем любителям оригинала 1981 года настоятельно рекомендую!
Esa sensación de perderse en el laberinto y pensar "¡Mierda!, la he cagado, me van a matar" no la había experimentando antes en ningún otro rpg. Al principio me gustó el juego, luego dudé de si quedármelo porque no entendía algunos conceptos, luego pregunté a la IA para que me explicase los conceptos básicos (son las reglas en parte de los de los juegos de mesa de D&D, los cuales nunca los he jugado) y miré un vídeo de la parte inicial. Aún sin estar convencido quise darle otra oportunidad (controlando el tiempo límite para la devolución) y me lo he quedado, porque me gusta mucho. Una vez que pillas las reglas del juego, las cuales, en realidad son sencillas, este te atrapa. Dale una oportunidad, y si no te mola lo devuelves
아주 어릴 당시 AppleII로 플레이했던 전설의 던전RPG. 이렇게 돌아와준 것만으로도 감사한 일이지만 한국어지원을 하지 않는 것이 옥의 티였는데, 우연찮은 기회로 한국어 패치가 존재한다는 것을 알게 되어 마침 큰 폭으로 할인하고 있는 본작을 구입했다. 게임 자체는 81년 그 자체. 하지만 여러 편의성들이 추가되어 있어서 여러 각도로 뜯어볼 수 있는 게 좋다. 던전RPG의 시조새같은 이 작품, 관심이 있다면 한 번 트라이해볼만 하다. 아주 흉칙하다고 악명이 높지만 요즘 세대의 시각으로 보면 뭐 그렇지만도 않으니 두려워할 것까지는 없으니 마음놓고(?) 추천한다.
很有趣的打發時間遊戲
Don't waste you money. This game is hot garbage!
