In a mystical land filled with magic and monsters, eager adventurers scour a ten-floor dungeon in search of fame and fortune - if they are able to escape with their lives! But none dare set foot in the tenth floor, as a powerful foe will make sure that they never return to the light of day: the evil Werdna, a wizard who stole an amulet of immense power. Now, to aid a beautiful woman, a group of skilled warriors must descend to the tenth floor to find the woman's lost love, and to take back the amulet from the hands of evil!

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This OVA adapts the 1981 Apple II game that basically invented the computer RPG genre—yes, THAT Wizardry.
Japanese developers were so obsessed with Wizardry that this anime exists alongside dozens of unlicensed PC-88 clones. The amulet Werdna stole? It's literally the MacGuffin from the game's manual.
