The graphics are terrible. The story just plain stinks. I bet that it was ment for people who had trouble sleeping and were desperate enough to try and bore them selves to sleep. You'd have to be an old man Brian like me to like this. I bought 4 copies of this because I thought that it would be a hit like Prunes are. I'm 65 years old and I still play video games. I have to admit that it is better than Pin Ball, it's not worth a penny.

A pretty good game

I really liked the part of the game that I got to play. I dont own the game, my brother does, and so I got to play it when he came to visit awhile ago. Anyway, I thought it was a pretty good game, it can be hard in parts, but thats not a bad thing, at least this game gets you to think. Its not a good game for people who dont like puzzles though.

Great game

This is a great game but, kinda confusing. You'll need the players guide for this game. It looks like the super nintendo graphics but it's still awesome.

a legend to all who played it!!!!!!!!!!

Alundra is by far the greatest game i have ever played, and it is also the hardest. It resembles The Zelda series in many ways.
it is an overhead view game with many, many, infinite many puzzles and very tough bosses, but its reward is just the joy you get out of playing. (more joy if you manage to win it.)
It has an intricate and complex plot which will keep you wondering whats gonna happen next. It is also a pretty sad game because many townsfolk die, thanks to an evil demon that lives right under the town. It is based in just one small area, but is one huge game. 5 stars! Bravo, working designs!!!

Pretty good game, but it is frustrating.

I really enjoyed Alundra. It has a good story, characters, graphics, and the music is pretty good too. However, there were two emotions that seemed to remain in my mind as I played the game: anger and frustration. I think I went through about four stress relievers before I finally ended up pawning it off. It's been a few years since and I just bought it again. The game has held up over the years, it's still as good as it was before. As I play now, I do get the urge to break the disk in two, but I think that as long as you've got plenty of patience and time you might want to find a used copy of it. This game will be especially enjoyable to those who remember the old 2D Zelda games.

Really challenging game

Never have I been so tested and challenged since the old Genesis adventure title, LandStalker. And Climax has made Alundra twice as hard, twice as challenging, and twice as good as its LandStalker counterpart. Play the part of Alundra, a young boy who possesses the power to venture through people's dreams. He's like one of those dream warrior chaps from Nightmare On Elm Street, but instead of fighting Freddy Krueger, Alundra instead faces difficult mazes, challenging puzzles, and nasty monsters. Maybe not the best analogy, but you get the picture. Not only does this game possess a really cool story, but it also has some great music and graphics that totally suit the game, like Wild Arms. Sure, it's no Final Fantasy VII, but Alundra has that classic, more traditional RPG feel that has literally faded away since the introduction of polygonal graphics. I'm not saying that evolution is bad, but I honestly miss these types of games.
The game may look outdated, but Alundra does in fact possess a level of gameplay that doesn't appear much in today's role-playing games. I mean, am I the only one who's tired of turn-based RPG titles? Alundra shares the same gameplay elements found in the classic NES version of Zelda: A Link to the Past and, like I mentioned before, LandStalker. Staged in a pseudo-3D environment, Alundra builds on the basic fundamentals of those old console adventure titles and simply makes them better. With improved character animation, better level design and more puzzles, Climax has turned this fizzled genre into a game that most, if not all RPG fans will enjoy. Because of Alundra, I now own three busted controllers and have two holes in my wall -- I'm kidding. However, I will warn you that there are some levels in Alundra that were so dang difficult, I literally broke down and cried. And get this -- when you die, may it be by the hand of a skeleton or a slight miscalculation of a jump, you have to start all the way back at the last save point. When this happens, and you can bet it will, you can do one of two things. You can either give Climax the middle finger, or a thumbs up for making the game challenging. Hey, I gave them a thumbs up... most of the time. Besides my gaming integrity being slightly scarred by near impossible obstacles, and I use the word "near" really loosely, I do have to admit that this game is awesome. If you really enjoyed games like Ys, Zelda, and/or LandStalker, you'll especially dig Alundra.
