Landstalker. Some of the same people worked on it before making Alundra.

Very hard puzzles. I think my only major complaint is that enemy health feels very inflated.

its good, youll have a lot of fun for at least the first half of the game. but later on it just feels like a chore to play. Enemy health starts to seem way too high, some puzzles are just aggrivating because platforming in a 2d game just doesn't always work right. I ended up putting it back on the shelf like 15 hours in, just wasn't fun for me anymore.

afaik Working Designs actually reduced the enemy health in the American region. I don't know why they didn't take it further because its still fucking ridiculous.

But it's only the early game. You can beat the final boss with like 3 or 4 castings of the fire spell.

>>3766487
This is pretty accurate. The first like 4 dungeons are really fun. Then it just keeps fucking going.

If you're going to do it, look up the Item Jump and uses of the Magic Beans. You can use them to hit switches which make some of the jumping puzzles a shitload more forgiving.

You're right. This is from the manual's translation notes:

"Monster difficulties were also
rebalanced, generally to make a few of the bosses easier to kill. However,
bosses were also made more dangerous in that if they managed to hit Alundra,
their blows were much more lethal. This lessened some of the boredom of the
later bosses, where they really weren't much challenge to fight, but took
forever to kill."

I had fun all the way with Alundra. I always felt that most Zelda games, except perhaps the Oracle ones, never go deep enough into their mechanics.

But Alundra does just that, and in every department (story, combat, puzzles)

I never played the first, which is probably why I love the second one so much, not having anything at all to do with the original was a point in its favor for me.

Other than the perspective, is the original in the same 'style'? Dialog, gameplay, things like that?

>> No.3768691

I hated Alundra. I got stuck in so many places because the solutions required fine tuned precision and luck with the physics. There were jumps that were so hard I wondered if I was cheating or missing something that was suppose to make it easier.

The color palette was kinda boring. Everything was this kind of muted grey color, except for some green vegetation and blue water.
And the story wasn't very compelling or memorable.

No. For one thing Zelda isn't adventure it's action-adventure, and action-advenutre is so wide it even encompass things like survival horror.

>> No.3768880

imo its the best of its kind, never liked zelda

Hurr. DUR! Ok. Action-Adventure. You're right.
But so you know, "Adventure" means the same thing in Action-Adverture, Text Adventure, Point & Click Adventure.
Its all the same game. You're interacting with the environment. Timed reflexes, Text commands, or drag and click. To get past an obstacle. Block on pressure plate; Key in lock, trading items for a pickaxe to use on a boulder ect...

A lot of RPGs use Adventure elements, but it's usually limited to a few puzzles in certain dungeons. Not significant to market them as RPG - Adventure games. But certainly enough for people to mistake Adventure mechanics for RPG mechanics.

Calling survival horror an Adventure game would be a stretch. In most cases it's very basic stuff picking up a key/clue in one room to unlock a door in another room- while being chased with limited supplies, hence "survival".

Its very good. But i like the second game more.

>> No.3769302

>>3768676
No. They are really nothing alike in any meaningful way.

>>3769194
I think a lot of the hate for the second game is a bit unfair, and seems to stem purely from it having the word "Alundra" in the title.

I don't think it's as good as the first game, but I did enjoy it.

>> No.3769307

>>3769302
Yea the name does get a lot of hate. But i consider it to be in the same series in spirit. Dispite its none connection to the first game.

The pirates used to make me laugh and it was a solid adventure to boot. Also that princess dance was sexy for my 12 year old self.

Why would you ask for similar games of a game that you don't even know is good? Bait.
