WiZmans World Re: Try Is Coming to the West on PC

The cult classic RPG WiZmans World Re: Try, initially launched on the Nintendo DS in Japan back in 2010, is finally heading to Western shores with an official PC port planned for 2024. Until now, fans outside Japan have relied on fan translations and unofficial versions to experience the game’s unique blend of magic, strategy, and city rebuilding.

Slated to arrive on PC platforms in 2024, as confirmed by a newly launched site and its Steam page, the game will transport players into a world as an amnesiac wizard tasked with restoring life to the forsaken city of Wizarest. Once thriving, this city now languishes, isolated and overrun by dangerous dungeons and their monstrous inhabitants. As the city’s last hope, players must harness powerful magic and cooperate with three loyal homunculi to prevent Wizarest from falling into darkness.

The game promises to engage players with its tactical, turn-based combat system that emphasizes strategic thinking. To overcome adversaries, it is crucial to initiate chain attacks that take advantage of the opponents' elemental vulnerabilities, thereby ensuring dominance on the battlefield. The game interface displays timelines that act as a guide to the sequence of attacks and monitor enemy vitals, encouraging players to craft powerful combination moves and precisely plan each member's actions.

The homunculi serve as the cornerstone of the wizard's might, possessing an extraordinary ability. Defeating foes allows players to collect their essences and perform 'Anima Fusion' with the homunculi, thereby transferring the vanquished creature’s attributes, abilities, and likeness. This strategic process of assimilation and amalgamation is pivotal in customizing a party that is ideally suited to conquer various dungeon challenges and adopting a battle approach unique to the player.

This remastered edition will offer players more than just a trip down memory lane with its pixelated charm. It will feature an overhauled user interface and enhanced controls, ensuring a seamless experience suitable for the modern PC gamer. This update is particularly significant as it addresses the often cumbersome and dated interfaces that plague many classic titles, ensuring that this aspect is in line with contemporary standards.

For enthusiasts of the genre and longtime admirers of this JRPG, the upcoming Western port presents an opportunity to dive into the enchanting world of WiZmans World Re: Try without relying on unofficial channels and instead enjoying a legitimate, polished incarnation of the original game.
