How it plays
How does Alundra play?
Alundra is viewed from an overhead perspective, with side-view sections used for jumping and platforming. The main objective is to explore Inoa, enter villagers’ dreams, defeat enemies, and solve puzzles that reveal the cause of the nightmare crisis.
Players attack with weapons, use magical items, jump across hazards, and collect equipment and power-ups. Dungeons are structured as interconnected rooms containing switches, movable objects, traps, minibosses, and bosses. Progress comes from story events, new weapons and tools, increased health, and abilities that open previously inaccessible areas.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Alundra?
Search every room for cracked walls, hidden passages, switches, and suspicious floor patterns. Many puzzles are solved by observing how objects interact rather than by fighting.
Upgrade health and equipment whenever possible, conserve restorative items before bosses, and learn enemy attack patterns. If a dungeon seems impossible, check whether a newly acquired item or story event has opened another route.
