Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean (Sega Saturn, 1997)

If you are looking for a RPG title for the saturn look no further. This title is everything the saturn was suppost to be, it didnt try to be fake with ugly polygon graphics , it stayed true to rpg games.Its colorful and well drawn, the story lawn is good and ultimately its a beautiful game. Not to mention all Working designs games are beautifly cased and the manual are awsome. 5/5 all around for this one.

I'll just state if it hasn't already been stated before that this is an American release, part of a trilogy of games. The first and second were released on Super Famicom in Japan and not ported to American SNES.

I very much enjoyed this game. It is a traditional JRPG.

Pros:

-Good story and presentation
-Some of the battles are pretty fun, especially with many spells used.
-The graphics are decent, but the special effects are great!
-Very good soundtrack
-Cool character design

Cons:

-The battles are too frequent
-The loading times between battles are a little annoying.
-The game feels a little slow paced at times
-The fact there was voice acting in the beginning, but not a lot through the game feels a little odd.

You know, I have never before, nor ever since, run into a game that was two games in one. The story-line is very involving and I LOVED the characters. Some of them drive you nuts but that just adds to their uniqueness. Just when I felt that I had finished the game, a whole new problem arises, and it's like two games in one where you get to keep the experience that you gained as well as any of the weapons or accessories that you've obtained through your original journey. Hey... I bought it and how long has a Sega Saturn been out... Come on... You gotta try it if you have a place in your heart for great old games. I would totally love to see this game remade but the original is still so great.

Now I'll admit it, I absolutely loathed the Sega Genesis when it was in it's prime, I grew up on Atari and Nintendo. My hate towards Sega even continued to grow during the lifetime of Sega's 32-bit Saturn console, my friend purchased this console and I was forced to watch him play it often, after a while I started playing it, but even though my feelings towards Sega were slowly changing I would never even come close to admitting this. I could no longer deny my love for the Sega Saturn after I bought one of my own, and to this day the Saturn is the only console that I think truly deserves to...
