Personal Review of Alundra, the Founder's favourite Video Game:
Wikipedia Information on the Game said:
Alundra, released in Europe as The Adventures of Alundra, is an action-adventure game developed by Matrix Software for the Sony PlayStation and was released in 1997. It was published by Sony in Japan, Working Designs in North America, and Psygnosis in Europe. It won great critical acclaim for its bizarre story and smooth game mechanics. The game's protagonist is a boy named Alundra, who learns that he has the power to enter people's dreams. He is shipwrecked near the village of Inoa and proceeds to try to help the locals, who have been suffering from a terrible curse.
The narrative becomes gradually darker and more twisted as the game progresses. There is an emphasis on puzzle solving.
This review is on personal experience only as I completed it last night.
Gameplay
Excellent, a lot of challenging puzzles mixed in with epic boss fights, there are loads of deaths and murders however and the storyline is quite dark.
Graphic's
Very Good for a PS1 Game, I must happily say.
Replay Value
LOTS, and I mean LOTS of Replay Value with all 50 Life Vessels and Gilded Falcons
Storyline
The only word that can describe it is Epic
