Wizardry Xth: Unlimited Students is the sequel to Wizardry Xth: Academy of Frontier, refining the party compatibility system (compatibility can be improved by using certain skills during combat), as well as certain changes have been made to the item creation process and the dungeon layout.
As in the previous game, the game takes place at the academy, where students from around the world hone their skills in adventuring, in order to tackle the various mazes and labyrinths which appeared in recent years. Available characters remain the same, with 10 races, 15 professions and 3 alignments.
Battles are turn-based and the dungeons, as in the first game, are pre-generated, but enemies and items are randomly placed upon entering them.
