Get ready for an enchanting adventure! WiZmans World Re;Try, a captivating remaster of a hidden gem, is now available on multiple platforms, bringing a once-forgotten game to life. But here's the twist: this game has a unique history.
Clear River Games, Gravity, and City Connection proudly present WiZmans World Re;Try, a remastered version of the 2010 DS game WiZmans World, which was originally developed by Jaleco Entertainment exclusively for the Japanese market. And now, after years of anticipation, it's finally available worldwide!
The game is out on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC (Steam). The PlayStation and Switch versions are published by Clear River Games, while the Xbox and Steam versions are brought to you by Gravity. The game is priced at $24.99, with a limited-time launch discount of 10% until March 4.
This remaster has been a long time coming. It was initially released in Japan in 2024 with plans for localization, and now, it's finally here in English! The launch trailer and description reveal a captivating world. And for those who want a sneak peek, an announcement trailer and screenshots were shared back in December 2025.
Clear River Games, known for their expertise in classic and retro games, and City Connection, a renowned Japanese publisher and developer, have teamed up to bring this HD remaster to life. WiZmans World Re;Try is a modern take on the classic JRPG, WiZman’s World, offering a high-definition adventure like no other.
The game takes players on a dark and tactical journey as the wizard Claus, exploring the isolated city of Wizarest. This ancient town is shrouded in a century-old mystery and surrounded by ever-changing, monster-filled dungeons. As Claus, players must uncover the secrets of the dungeon and the forgotten city, all while searching for his missing mentor, Giselle.
But here's where it gets controversial—the game introduces a unique mechanic called "Anima Fusion." As players defeat monsters, their souls can be absorbed by Claus' homunculus companions, evolving their stats, abilities, and even their appearance. This innovative feature adds a layer of depth to the gameplay, as your choices directly impact your companions, the story, and the world's fate.

- Visual Masterpiece: Stunning remastered HD graphics that preserve the original 2D pixel art's intricate beauty.
