Descending into its first-person dungeons demands patience and method, as every floor hides traps, puzzles and demons to face in turn-based combat. Forging a strong party means long work customizing classes and powering up before you can hope to survive. The fourth Wizardry Gaiden on Super Famicom, it carries on the rigor and depth of a saga where progress is earned hour after hour.

Collector interest

Fourth and final Wizardry Gaiden on the Super Famicom, Japan-exclusive and never localized, making this the only way to own the entry. A dense dungeon crawler published by ASCII at the very end of the Japanese 16-bit era, its late release stayed modest in run. Desirability rests on its cult-import status for fans of the Japanese crawler, with SFC cardboard box and spine card sharply shaping interest.
