Wizardry Gaiden IV: Throb of the Demon's Heart

"For the fourth game of the main series, see Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna"

Wizardry Gaiden IV: Throb of the Demon's Heart (Japanese: ウィザードリィ・外伝IV: 胎魔の鼓動, Uiza-dorii Gaiden IV: Taima no Kodō), published in 1996 by ASCII, for the Nintendo Super Famicom video game system.

Like it's predecessor, Wizardry Gaiden III: Scripture of the Dark, Throb of the Demon's Heart keeps integrating Wizardry VI: Bane of the Cosmic Forge elements into it's engine:
 * Added the Felpurr race.
 * Added the Psionic and Monk classes.
 * Added distinct equipment slots for both hands allowing for dual-wielding, shield-bearing and the distinction between one-handed and two-handed weapons.
 * The Ninja class is no longer able to equip heavier weapons and armor, but instead can keep it's natural AC reduction even if it do wear light armor.
 * Added a Psionic school of spells.

Like it's predecessors the game moves to a new setting, Hiren (緋蓮, Scarlet Lotus), based on pre-Imperial Japan.
