This game was and still is one of my all-time favourites. A great storyline, engaging gameplay and puzzles that made you work for it. In more recent years the only issue I have with it looking back is the localization from Working Design which needlessly increased the amount of hit points for enemies and also took a few too many liberties with the translation. Honestly it would be amazing if GOG were somehow able to bring not just the Western version of this game to the roster, but also the Japanese version if only so that people could possible experience the game as it was originally intended.
I remember playing this game on Playstation 1 . Adventure RPG at its finest. A lot of people call this a zelda clone, but it is not, it is an underrated rpg. I remeber playing i believe it was iside of a ship, and there was a part that there was a lot of platforming. Imagine platforming in an isometric view, it was so frustrating, but I had fun. and I would like to play it agian.
please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please please bring this game out it was so much better than zelda
Just bing it!!!!!!! Its an amazing zelda-like game. Puzzle solving, action packed, great story, great visuals. One of the best in PS1. Too bad this game was forgotten by the community
This game is such a "unknown gem". Alundra was a blast to play years ago (I still own the game on PS1) and always enjoy when there is a mention or anything about it online. I'm a fan of Zelda games and seeing this back in the day had me very interested about it and boy did it get me throughout. Gameplay, story, music, visuals, puzzles.
Why it should be added? I wish more folk to learn about this game just in general, or hear about it and bring it out of the "underrated gem" realm of games.
Sony's response to Zelda and going to even darker themes Nintendo would never go with their hero Link. Alundra is a tough puzzle nut and has the first elements of a Souls-like RPG. And the story. Oh dear lord, the story. Only Terranigma and FF VII reached this level of emotional journey dealing with the theme of loss and failing in your quest.
Do you remember that moment growing up, when you discovered the world could be more complex and beautiful than you ever imagined as a kid?
Alundra is that moment for me; every pixel, every sound effect, every piece of music and dialog is so perfect to me, it's a very unique mix of atmosphere and elegance.
This game helped discover a way to experience the world in ways far deeply than I've ever felt from any book, movie, TV show or any other form of art before or since.
Please preserve these memories for me and for all the people out there; help more people experience this masterpiece of a game
This game shaped so much of what I like in games and storys today. Though I never experienced a game like this again, yet.
I love how it portraits different kind of people, their flaws and fears.
What I like the most: The mechanic to enter peoples nightmares to try and save them from demons and inner conflicts. Those nightmares were thrilling and ugly and confusing and hard to get through sometimes. But even at a young age I noticed the detail that was put in each one. Like using a maze-puzzle part you need to cross as a player, to show the characters feeling of being lost and not finding back. I wasn't scared to look into those characters abysses. I was thrilled to learn about them in such abstract ways and hopefully save them.
Not to forget: The beautiful and epic music which also plays a big role to set the tone for this dark adventure.
This is easily my favorite Zelda clone of all time. I played the crap out of this as a kid, and even revisit it from time to time. I played this again recently and it still holds up today. Mainly because it has a slightly darker story then what you might expect from the genre.

Shin Megami Tensei IIFifty years have passed since the hero of Shin Megami Tensei followed the neutral path, defeated the leaders of Law and Chaos, and founded a state where followers of both ideologies could live freely. But his reign of freedom doesn't last long. The Messian faith gains power, expanding the Cathedral into a new enclosed environment named Tokyo Millennium. The Gaians rise up, but their rebellion is repressed by the Messians' elite warrior class, the Temple Knights. People flock into the encapsulated city, submitting themselves to the strict hierarchy imposed by the Messian Center, where only the privileged living in the Center district are safe from demonic assaults.
A few years later, a retired arena fighter Okamoto rescues a man named Hawk, who was fighting for his life against a demon. He trains him to fight in the arena of the Valhalla district, hoping that he would win the tournament, which will grant them both citizenship in the Center district. When Hawk succeeds, he is brought before a Messian bishop, and learns the shocking truth about his own origins and the role he is supposed to play in the grand scheme of events. A new battle for a better future begins.
Shin Megami Tensei II retains all the gameplay features of the previous game. The player is able to summon demons, fuse them to create more powerful ones, make them participate in battles, talk to random enemies and receive information from them, etc. The combat is turn-based, and the player explores the complex, maze-like dungeons from a first-person perspective view. Like in the first game, the Law, Chaos, and Neutral alignments play an important role: during the course of the game, the player will have to make choices that influence the alignment of the protagonist, steering the storyline into different directions.
New features include a "magic succession" system, which allows demons to carry over their original magic spells when they are fused into new ones, a few additional spells and abilities, and the possibility to play at the casino and win unique items.Fantasy Thriller Warfare Science fiction
