Game History
Alundra was developed by Working Designs and Matrix Software, with Matrix Software handling primary development while Working Designs, a renowned localizer, brought the game to North America. The game was originally created by Matrix Software as a PS1 exclusive action-RPG inspired by The Legend of Zelda series.
Alundra was first released in Japan on August 9, 1997, under the title "Alunseled." Working Designs localized and published the game in North America on September 1998, making it one of their most celebrated projects. The European release followed later. The localization was notably thorough, featuring extensive script work and cultural adaptation that became a hallmark of Working Designs' reputation.
Critical reception was generally positive, with reviewers praising the game's challenging puzzle design, engaging story, and high-quality sprite work. However, commercial performance was modest, as the PS1's library was rapidly expanding with numerous competing titles. The game found a dedicated cult following rather than mainstream success.
Today, Alundra holds significant value among collectors, particularly the North American version. Original PS1 copies command premium prices on the secondary market, often selling for $100-200 or more in good condition. The game's rarity stems from its limited initial print run and modest sales during its original release window. Complete copies with original cases and manuals are especially sought after.
The game became historically significant as a representation of Working Designs' golden era of localization, demonstrating the company's commitment to bringing quality Japanese RPGs to Western audiences. Its challenging gameplay and story-driven approach also positioned it as a predecessor to the action-RPG genre that would flourish on PlayStation.
A sequel, Alundra 2, was released in 2000 to less critical acclaim. The original game's legacy has been bolstered by increased interest in retro PlayStation titles and the broader appreciation for 1990s game localization craftsmanship. While emulation and eventual digital re-releases have made the game more accessible, physical copies remain highly collectible among dedicated retro gaming enthusiasts.
