Release order is the recommended play path, so one list covers both.

  1. 1 Wizardry I-V (early saga) 1988 · game 1981 to 1988. Bring graph paper.
  2. 2 Wizardry VI-VIII (Dark Savant trilogy) 2001 · game The playable classics.
  3. 3 Japanese Wizardry sequels (optional) 2009 · game Tale of the Forsaken Land onward.

About Wizardry

The dungeon-crawler template runs eight Sir-Tech games from Proving Grounds to Wizardry 8, with Japan continuing the series long after. Brutal mapping required throughout.

Good to know

Start with VI or VIII. The Japanese sequels are their own rabbit hole.
