Item Description
A wandering swordsman opens an old book and wakes up in a world stitched together from places that were never meant to share a map. That is the premise of Time Stalkers, and it is a fitting introduction to a very strange RPG indeed. Developed by Climax Entertainment, the studio behind Landstalker and Shining in the Darkness, it was released in Japan as Climax Landers and reached North America in March 2000, making it one of the earliest role-playing games on the console in the West.
Your hero is Sword, and the patchwork world around him is overseen by a mysterious figure called Master, who warns him of a spreading darkness. The twist is in who you meet along the way. Time Stalkers is a love letter to Climax's own back catalog, and familiar faces turn up in the party, including Nigel, the treasure hunter from Landstalker, and Lady from Ladystalker. For anyone who spent the 16-bit years with Climax's isometric adventures, seeing those characters rendered on the Dreamcast is a real treat.
The structure owes more to roguelikes than to the typical JRPG. Dungeons are randomly generated, and your experience level resets each time you head into a new one, so every expedition is a fresh climb rather than a grind toward ever-bigger numbers. The way you keep an edge is through monsters: enemies can be captured and trained to fight at your side, building a roster that carries over from dungeon to dungeon. Side quests fill in the hub, and the game also made use of the Dreamcast's Visual Memory Unit with its own mini-games. Multiple endings depend on which hero closes the book at the finish.
Critics in 2000 were split, with many put off by that level reset, and it never got the attention of later Dreamcast RPGs like Skies of Arcadia or Grandia II. That is exactly what makes it fun to discover now. It is a quirky, ambitious experiment from a much-loved studio, Climax's own crossover reunion on the Dreamcast, and a piece of the console's library that very few players have actually explored.
