Wizardry: The Five Ordeals - Scenario "The Absence of Misericordia"

Search for relics that will bring Spring to the land of never-ending Winter.
It has been two years now, and the endless winter has not once relented, leaving many stranded in the settlement of Winternadir. The fur merchants come to the adventurers with a request...

The villagers often speak of a place of worship in the heart of a nearby valley. It was once home to The Relic of Our Lady of Mercy, which was said to have kept the cold weather at bay. The relic is long since lost, and the valley has been abandoned. You must retrieve this relic, and return the region to its natural state.

Overview

• A compact yet standard size and challenging traditional labyrinthine exploration in a single labyrinth of less than 10 floors.

• Based on the iOS The Absence of Misericordia with details adjusted under Ichien's supervision, including the behavior of some gimmicks.
• New floor graphics in the labyrinth.
• New Graphics for Home.
• New musics composed by Basiscape.

This game has nothing to do with Wizardry #1-5. This does not include dungeon layouts, unique names (spell, town and weapon, etc), and the UI and graphics of those things themselves.

Classic hardcore gameplay. Experience a deep dungeon crawling RPG. This game was created by the main staff that worked on the popular RPG series back in 2006. In this game, players can experience many different dungeon crawler RPGs using the same base system. Available for the first time on Steam and outside of Japan with enhancements to the UI and much more. Official scenarios seen for the first time each with dozens of hours of gameplay.

Gameplay that is easy to get into. Players will create their own character - much like a traditional tabletop RPG - and venture into a grid based dungeon with a party of up to 6 members. The turn based combat mixes the simplicity of JRPGs with the difficulty of tabletop RPGs. (Our internal dice is not rigged!) Your character can be lost forever and saves will be overwritten. Get ready for a classic hardcore adventure.
