Item Description
Pike's childhood ends in fire. Monsters destroy his family's town, and the boy is taken in and raised by Harpies, growing up with an enchanted sword named Cirrus that once belonged to his father. When an evil mage turns his adoptive sister to stone, Pike sets out to find a cure, and the search pulls him into a much larger conspiracy to revive an ancient god called Vlag. It is a classic setup for a classic kind of RPG, told with more warmth and humor than you might expect.
Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean plays like a love letter to the 16-bit golden age. Exploration is overhead, battles are turn-based and menu-driven, and the party grows into a lively band that includes Eka, a singer Pike meets in the city of Gigarl, along with companions such as Leos, Gryzz, Amon and Kia. The game was originally developed by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo before moving to the Saturn late in production, which explains its traditional, sprite-driven look. The story is told almost entirely through on-screen text rather than voice acting or cinematics, which keeps the spotlight on the writing. The pacing is unhurried and the battles come often, but the world is full of personality.
This was the first Albert Odyssey game ever released in English, and it reached North America in 1997 through Working Designs, the publisher famous for its lively, joke-filled localizations. Reviewers praised the script as one of the game's strongest assets, while some purists felt it strayed too far from the original Japanese tone. Sunsoft's longtime composer Naoki Kodaka wrote the score, blending the Saturn's sound chip with live-recorded instruments for a soundtrack that sounds bigger than the visuals.
The Saturn's English-language RPG library is small, and Working Designs' releases form the heart of it. Albert Odyssey sits alongside their translations of Magic Knight Rayearth and Dragon Force as part of that lineage, a charming, old-fashioned adventure that rewards players who love their RPGs built on story, party banter and steady exploration.

About the game
Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean is a role-playing video game developed by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo, but cancelled and ported to the Sega Saturn. It is the first Albert Odyssey title to be released in English, as well as the first to feature traditional turn-based role-playing elements as opposed to tactical, strategy-based gameplay. Legend of Eldean was created as a "gaiden", or sidestory to the original titles, and contains back story, characters, and plot that are independent from earlier games in the series. The North American version received generally favorable reviews, with the game's translation invoking mixed criticism both for its overly-humorous tone and departure from the original Japanese dialogue.
