Agreed. That's one of two issues I had with it (the other being platforming being difficult to see due to the perspective).

Well, yeah. The matter of Zelda being surpassed by its third-party spiritual successors was settled over a decade ago.
Alundra>any 2D Zelda
Okami>any 3D Zelda
There is no argument to be made against Alundra that isn't just "I think this is worse because it's different to Zelda", and that's why the game is superior.
>Trash NPCs in LttP trained Zeldafags to not want to talk to them in this kind of game
>Lack of platforming made them averse to it and unable to adapt in this kind of game
>LttP's cartoony palette makes them think a pink-haired Alundra running around a bright Wonkaland would fit the tone and themes of the game

The other criticisms I've seen are garbage too.
> A Zelda game should open up as you collect items
Shit does in Alundra too. As early as the second dungeon you get the bomb which opens it up, then you've got the flail, sand cape, fire wand, magic bean, etc. etc.
>lack of map
The game comes with a physical map, the world is tiny and well-signposted, NPCs point you in the right direction, and there's a fortune teller in the first village who can show you an in-game map of your next destination.

No you're supposed to tell me when this occurs. One time when you have to talk to a random npc to progress in the game.
Having played through the game multiple times, including recently, I remember all conversation triggers were well-directed either by forced conversations with NPCs walking into your room as you wake up, or another conversation with literally any other NPC in the village. It was never random.

Those open up optional areas to find health upgrades, potions or money, which is fine, but to actually progress the game and reach new dungeons you need to wait until the story allows you too. The 3D Zelda games are often criticized for doing exactly that.

>> No.9077435

>>9077405
Hyperbole aside I am inclined to agree with the sentiment of the anon you are arguing with. First time players are going to end up spending a lot of time talking to NPCs between dungeon intervals discerning explicitly who they are meant to talk to move the plot flag forward. I can't specifically recall the moments themselves offhand but I do distinctly remember feeling annoying about this when I played it a few years back. It wasn't as egregious as, say, Dragon Quest VII but if you're new to the game and don't know which residents belong to which house or where they may be you're going to spend a lot of time mucking about.

I'm 40. I hate the kind of games that gatekeep you playing by having endless exposition and talking to every NPC at the start. Every modern Zelda does this too. I have never finished the 2 hour tutorial to Twilight Princess. Landstalker on the other hand - you watch a 2 minute vintro with hardly any text except what is neccesary - (You rescue Friday from Kayla, Wally, Ink, she says "I know where Treasure is", and Nigel/Lyle is all about treasure, so off you go, adventure starts. The longest exposition dump comes about halfway through the game when talking to the Wizard and the Duke, but by that time, I want to know more about the plot, because I'm invested in the game). After the intro - boom, gameplay.

Why is Alundra getting so hyped up recently? Did some dumb YouTuber call it a hidden gem? This is a game from my childhood and I don’t appreciate zoomers appropriating it.

Great set pieces. Tons of personality. Great music. A day night system that isn't bullshit. Great boss fights. Tons of secrets. Fun and playful atmosphere and dialogue.

Alundra is a Zelda clone. You would have to be retarded not to see that it was at least heavily inspired by ALttP if not a straight rip-off. It also happens to be a better game. There's nothing wrong with calling a game a "clone" of another unless you have asperger's and get upset over semantics. It's a top down, 2D action adventure game where you control a blonde twink who walks around a forested overworld, fights monsters that drop healing items and money specifically, explores dungeons filled with monsters and puzzles that also hapoen to contain a special item and a health upgrade ala Zelda, etc. It isn't even passably similar, it is the exact same game design down to nigh-identical protagonists and item menu screens. Dont be a fucking spastic.

>Did you think you would find anything of value off the beaten path? Absolutely not. The ONE item you can get that is optional, out of the way, and useful is a sword upgrade, but 99.99% of the time any amount of exploration is a health upgrade at best
>Combat is extremely limited and dull, and early game enemies take so many hits you are better off playing Bomberman instead of using your weapons. This does get better later on but it's still 4 directional combat with no combos or anything

DS1 is a good game and clearly took influence from Zelda but it has some major issues that hold it back from greatness. the god of war-esque combat with enemies that take 100 hits to kill and the repetitious finisher moves gets old fast, and a lot of the items (e.g. the pistol) are borderline useless. the dungeons are cool but the overworld is super shitty and is basically just composed of a bunch of ugly corridors with very little interconnectivity. the biggest problem though is that there's absolutely no replayability. once you beat the game there's really nothing worth going back for. there's nothing you can do in a different order, no way to switch things up or experiment. no sidequests, very few optional items that aren't just health/power upgrades or the occasional meaningless weapon enchantment, no real secrets outside of the abyssal armor pieces. the game desperately needed some side content. it's a solid 8/10 but it's not the kind of game you'll revisit frequently. i will say though, the one sequence where you have the arena showdown with the demons roaring in the stands and then you fight the demon knight riding your horse is one of the most badass moments in any game ever made. that was "epic" done right and no Zelda game has ever had that moment outside of maybe the final battle in OoT.

Just do it.
A good game rises above an over-saturated genre, it's that easy to make a game now, Pajeet's Unity-flipnotZelda#28 will fade away, whilst shit with effort put in will be more likely to get attention.
I could be talking shite but I think of all the Metroid clones constantly released yet I can only think of something like Axiom Verge, as effort was made
