Alundra - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alundra 1 is a 1998 Playstation 1 action rpg that's like The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past but with extremely hard puzzles. It's developed by a lot of the same development team as the Genesis mid 90's action rpg Landstalker and is very similar to that game.

I originally got Alundra 1 as a gift in 1998 and loved it. I was unable to beat it though because it's one of the hardest rpg's ever made and I didn't have a strategy guide. I eventually sold the game. I've been wanting for years to get it again. In the last two years my demand for this game has been high but I've always been busy with other rpg's.

I finally beat those rpg's and on Friday three days ago I ordered Alundra 1 on Ebay. I was unable to find a new copy but I found a mint edition copy for $50, which I bought. I also bought a new unopened strategy guide(Working Designs version) on Ebay also. The strategy guide came today and it's great! The game hopefully will arrive this week and I can play it!

This game has been in my mind for years and I'm pretty excited for it to arrive. I'm right now listening to the soundtrack. You can download some Alundra 1 music including unreleased tracks if you search on FF shrine's music forums.

Who else has played this game and what do you think of it?

Its awesome... Its not THAT hard. I had to cheat and get the good sword for the final boss, but thats it.

I remember sitting in class and solving one of the puzzles by jotting it down on the back of a book It'd been driving me crazy up until then...

It's like the old top-down Zeldas, except I actually love Alundra.

And yeah, it's hard as nails imo. Hate to admit it but I used a strategy guide more for this game than any other I can recall.

Never played it. I've played a bit of Alundra II and it was alright. I really need to work on beating it someday.
