The main city in a state of perpetual cold, separated from the outside world.
The Queen of Duhan has disappeared into the depths of a giant labyrinth beneath the castle.
It is up to the game's protagonist and his chosen companions to explore the Duhan labyrinth and find the answers and the means to revert this unfortunate state.
Despite its Japanese origins, Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land is very similar to early Wizardry games.
The game's environments consist of the town, where the player can recruit characters into the party, rest and buy supplies, and the vast maze-like 3D dungeon.
The bulk of the gameplay is dedicated to exploring said dungeon, trying to find the right way through the maze, collecting treasure, triggering scenes, and fighting enemies in turn-based combat.
There are eight character classes in the game: Warrior, Priest, Thief, Sorcerer, Bishop, Samurai, Knight, and Ninja.
A party is formed by selecting characters belonging to these classes, some of which have their own background stories.
Some of the classes will only join a character who has had a certain amount of experience exploring the dungeon.
Thieves can unlock chests and disarm traps, which is done by participating in a mini-game that involves repeating a pattern of buttons within a time limit.
Magic requires memorizing a fixed amount of spell units per level.
By collecting components and taking them to the shop the player can craft a stone used to upgrade spells.
About PlayStation 2
The PlayStation 2 (2000) is the best-selling game console in history, with a library exceeding 9,000 titles that spans everything from budget shovelware to genre-defining classics. That massive volume means PS2 collecting is accessible and affordable overall, but a handful of low-print-run RPGs and cult titles have become genuinely expensive — a common pattern once a console's original audience grows up with disposable income.
Gamevaro tracks Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land for PlayStation 2 with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS2 release dates back to 2001.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Wizardry: Tale of the Forsaken Land, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation 2 titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
