Wizardry Variants Daphne

Wizardry Variants Daphne is a first-person dungeon crawler in which you control a mysterious ghoul who remembers absolutely nothing about their past. Luckily, with the help of Lulunarde, a spirit linked to your own existence, you can make your way to the City and recruit your own group of adventurers to investigate the endless dungeons of the Abyss.

One of the world's most legendary role-playing game franchises

As veterans of the genre will know, the Wizardry saga dates back to the early 1980s and has more than 20 installments, including eight games from the main storyline and more than a dozen spin-offs, many of them exclusive to the Japanese market. This is no coincidence. After all, although it has been influential across the globe, in Japan it has had an even greater impact, influencing other popular sagas like Dragon Quest, Shin Megami Tensei and even Final Fantasy.

Perfectly adapted touch controls

The controls in Wizardry Variants Daphne are very comfortable to use. To make your way through the dungeons just swipe with your finger in the direction you want to go. You can also move sideways by pressing the sides of the screen. As is traditional in games of this type, combat is turn-based, so you always have time to think about your next move. Normally you will have a wide variety of attacks, skills, spells and items at your disposal, which you will need to deploy astutely if you want to get out of the Abyss alive. The game can get difficult, so you will need to utilize all the resources at your disposal.

Recruit the best adventurers

You will embark on a new game alone. Inside the City, though, you will find the Ruins, a place where you can bring back fallen adventurers. Here you can choose what type of hero you want to resurrect: fighters, mages, thieves, priests, etcetera. Once you have brought them back, you can head to the Adventurer's Guild, where you can manage your party. Selecting which heroes you want to bring in to your group and in which position is key to victory. Ideally, the strongest and most resistant heroes should be in front, with archers and mages behind.

Be wary of the decisions you make

One of the most interesting aspects of Wizardry Variants Daphne is that, as you progress through the game's story, you will make decisions that change the course of your adventure. Even early on in the game you will be faced with situations where you will have to decide between two or more options. These moments, which may seem innocuous at the time, can affect your next battles, making them a touch easier or more difficult, bringing you better rewards or worse ones, and they can even change your relationship with some of the story's characters.
