class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The original <i>Wizardry</i> series is composed of eight different titles. All of the titles were first released in North America, and then ported to Japanese computers. Some of the titles were also officially released in Europe. The first three games are a trilogy, with similar settings, plots, and gameplay mechanics. A second trilogy is formed by installments 6 through 8 – <i>Bane of the Cosmic Forge</i>, <i>Crusaders of the Dark Savant</i> and <i>Wizardry 8</i> – with settings and gameplay mechanics that differed greatly from the first trilogy. The fourth game, <i>The Return of Werdna</i>, was a significant departure from the rest of the series. In it, the player controls Werdna ("Andrew", one of the game's developers, spelled backwards), the evil wizard slain in the first game, and summons groups of monsters to aid him as he fights his way through the prison in which he had been held captive. Rather than monsters, the player faced typical adventuring parties, some of which were pulled from actual user disks sent to Sir-Tech for recovery. Further, the player had only a limited number of keystrokes to use to complete the game. </p><p>In Japan, the <i>Wizardry</i> series was translated by <a href="/wiki/ASCII_Entertainment" class="mw-redirect" title="ASCII Entertainment">ASCII Entertainment</a>, and became very influential during the 1980s, even as its popularity at home declined.<sup id="cite_ref-maher20140625_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-maher20140625-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When first introduced, the games suffered from the culture barrier compounded by low-quality translation. This meant that the game was taken seriously by players who overlooked the in-game jokes and parodies. For example, <i>Blade Cusinart</i> was introduced in early games as "a legendary sword made by the famous blacksmith, Cusinart  [<i><a href="/wiki/Sic" title="Sic">sic</a></i>]" but its meaning was misinterpreted because <a href="/wiki/Cuisinart" title="Cuisinart">Cuisinart</a> <a href="/wiki/Food_processor" title="Food processor">food processors</a> were virtually unknown in Japan. However, this misconception appealed to early computer gamers who were looking for something different and made the <i>Wizardry</i> series popular. Conversely, the fourth game, <i>The Return of Werdna</i>, was poorly received, as, lacking the knowledge of subcultures necessary to solving the game, Japanese players had no chance of figuring out some puzzles. </p><p>The eight main titles in the series are: </p> <table class="wikitable plainrowheaders" width="100%" align="center"> <caption> </caption> <tbody><tr style="text-align: center;"> <th scope="col" width="25%" align="center" rowspan="2">Title </th> <th scope="colgroup" colspan="3">Original release date </th></tr> <tr style="border-bottom: solid #ccf 3px;"> <th scope="col" style="padding:0 1% 0 1%;

The game's publisher, <a href="/wiki/Atlus" title="Atlus">Atlus</a>, also published another Wizardry spin-off, <i><a href="/wiki/Wizardry:_Tale_of_the_Forsaken_Land" title="Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land">Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land</a></i>. </p><p>While designing the popular Japanese role-playing game <i><a href="/wiki/Dragon_Quest" title="Dragon Quest">Dragon Quest</a></i>, <a href="/wiki/Yuji_Horii" title="Yuji Horii">Yuji Horii</a> drew inspiration from the <i>Wizardry</i> series, 1986's <i>Mugen no Shinzou</i> (<i><a href="/wiki/List_of_XTALSOFT_games" title="List of XTALSOFT games">Heart of Phantasm</a></i>), and the <i><a href="/wiki/Ultima_(series)" title="Ultima (series)">Ultima</a></i> series of games.

In a dungeon-crawling portion of that adventure game, a note on the wall reads "MONSTER SURPRISED YOU". </p><p>Wizardry's legacy continued in Japan after the parent company ended, with titles such as <i>Wizardry Gaiden</i>, <i>Wizardry Empire</i>, and <i>Wizardry XTH</i>, being developed after the original games were released and generally keeping the same tropes, themes, and mechanics. </p><p>Notably <i>Wizardry XTH: Academy of Frontier</i> swapped the original's Gothic themes for a modern day military school setting, adding item crafting and party member compatibility to the Wizardry formula. Much like the original Wizardry, XTH spawned a direct storyline sequel, <i>Wizardry XTH: Unlimited Students</i>. The second XTH game was used as the basis for and shared code with <i><a href="/wiki/Class_of_Heroes" title="Class of Heroes">Class of Heroes</a></i>, which swapped the modern science fiction elements for a combination of High School, High Fantasy, and Anime aesthetics. Class of Heroes would go on to spawn several sequels and spinoffs itself. </p><p>Following the shutdown of Michaelsoft, the director of <i>Wizardry XTH</i>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=Motoya_Ataka&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Motoya Ataka (page does not exist)">Motoya Ataka</a> took a group of programmers he called "Team Muramasa" that had worked on <i>Empire</i> and <i>XTH</i> and went on to found <a href="/w/index.php?title=Experience_Inc.&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Experience Inc.

Experience would go on to create several other DRPGs using <i>Wizardry</i><span class="nowrap" style="padding-left:0.1em;">'</span>s mechanics as a starting point, including <i>Students of the Round</i>, <i><a href="/wiki/Stranger_of_Sword_City" title="Stranger of Sword City">Stranger of Sword City</a></i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/Demon_Gaze" title="Demon Gaze">Demon Gaze</a></i>. </p><p>Starfish, the development team behind <i>Wizardry Empire</i>, would later go on to create <i><a href="/wiki/Elminage" title="Elminage">Elminage</a></i>, a series of DRPGs that retained the original Gothic aesthetic (and difficulty) of the western <i>Wizardry</i> games. <i>Elminage</i> was notable for using the expanded "kemonojin" races from <i>Wizardry Asterisk</i>, also by Starfish, as well as the summoner class from <i>Wizardry: Summoner</i> —these included "Were-Beast", "Dragonnewt", "Fairy", and "Devilkin" as well as expanded classes such as "Brawler" (a hand to hand melee specialist), "Alchemist" (a combination crafting class and spellcaster), and "Summoner" (a spellcasting class that can tame and summon monsters from the dungeon). These "expanded" Japanese Wizardry mechanics would be reused in future Elminage games as well as notably <i>Class of Heroes</i>. </p><p>After cancellation of <i>Wizardry: Stones of Arnhem</i> in the mid 1990s, one of the developers, Cleveland Mark Blakemore, started work on the game <i><a href="/wiki/Grimoire:_Heralds_of_the_Winged_Exemplar" title="Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar">Grimoire: Heralds of the Winged Exemplar</a></i> which is heavily inspired by <i>Wizardry</i>.
