Wizardry: New Age of Llylgamyn
New Age of Llylgamyn is the second set of Wizardry remakes for the Playstation (Llylgamyn Saga was the first and encompassed the original trilogy). It consists of the classic and arrange versions of the notoriously hard Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna as well as a remake of Wizardry V: Heart of Maelstrom. Sporting improved visuals, new orchestral soundtrack, auto-mapping, quick-saving and a nifty feature which allows the player to switch back to the wireframe graphics and 8-bit sprites, it is arguably the best way to enjoy these classic dungeon crawlers.

About This Game
Two scenarios in one release. The Return of Werdna completely reverses the Wizardry formula: the player controls Werdna — the evil wizard defeated and imprisoned at the bottom of his own dungeon in the original game — working upward through ten levels to reclaim his full power. Pentagrams restore strength, allow monster summoning, and refresh health and spells; the enemies are the heroes from the previous three Wizardry games, potentially including characters submitted by players of those games. The second scenario, Heart of the Maelstrom, sends a new adventuring party into a world once again threatened by dark forces — with larger mazes, new spells, new classes, and expanded creature interaction. It is the first Wizardry scenario to allow imported characters, though it does not require them.
