Alundra 2 (Sony PlayStation 1, 2000)

Product Specs

Description

Within a treacherous climate of ambition and greed, the kingdom's semi-deposed princess seeks the services of a warrior. The king has been replaced by a wooden puppet and the only way to set things right is to hack-and-slash through hordes of clockwork enemies, pirates, and other nasty creatures dreamed up by the dastardly Mephisto. Players switch off between the ex-pirate hunter Flint and the princess Alexia as they fight through multiple 3D dungeons and levels, to square off against bosses in a side-scrolling combat mode reminiscent of the major battles in Sword of Vermilion. Exploration rewards the heroes with special items that heal and boost attacks, and ultimately the ability to invoke elemental powers, like the ability to float in the air, freeze enemies, drop rocks on their heads, or use a fire elemental ring. Told through frequent real-time cinema sequences, Alundra 2 focuses on a lighter storyline than Alundra did, so expect a few double takes, sight gags, and other humorous moments.
