The game challenges you to assemble a party, typically consisting of up to six characters, from a variety of races and classes.

Wizardry: Inochi no Kusabi emphasizes resourcefulness and strategic planning in every expedition.

The core progression in Wizardry: Inochi no Kusabi focuses on delving deeper into dungeons, defeating powerful foes, and gathering better gear to overcome increasingly difficult challenges.
