Alundra 2: A New Legend Begins
psAction-Adventure
Alundra 2: A New Legend Begins is an action-adventure game with action-RPG and puzzle elements, developed by Matrix Software for the original PlayStation. It follows Flint, a young treasure hunter drawn into a conflict involving pirates, mechanized enemies, and a threat to the kingdom. Unlike the first Alundra, it uses a colorful 3D presentation and emphasizes platforming as well as combat and dungeon puzzles. Players explore connected areas, obtain equipment, and solve environmental challenges to advance the story. The game received mixed historical reviews: its visual style, varied puzzles, and accessible action were often noted positively, while criticism commonly focused on awkward controls, uneven camera behavior, and a less serious tone than its predecessor.
Alundra
psAction-Adventure
Alundra is an action-adventure RPG developed by Matrix Software for the original PlayStation. The game follows Alundra, a young dreamwalker who arrives in the village of Inoa and discovers that its residents are suffering from deadly nightmares. Exploration combines overhead combat, platforming, environmental puzzles, and dungeon solving, while the story emphasizes grief, fear, and the consequences of repressed memories. Released in Japan in 1997 and in Western markets in 1998, Alundra was widely praised for its challenging puzzles, somber narrative, detailed 2D presentation, and traditional adventure structure. Its difficulty and occasional precision-based challenges also attracted criticism, but it became a respected cult favorite among PlayStation RPG players.
