Developed by the same team who created Landstalker for the 16-bit Sega Genesis, Alundra plays like an action-RPG. Battles are conducted in real-time like Secret of Mana or The Legend of Zelda. Pick up items, push and pull blocks, and hop between platforms. The action takes place around the small village with various surrounding areas: caves, temples, forests, and mountains.
Each completed task leads you to your next mission -- entering another person's dream to save them. Sometimes that person is chasing a loved one they never catch, or is surrounded by demons. The rest is textbook role-playing -- enter a dungeon to find an item, bring the item back and unlock the next portion of the game.

Known in Japan since the days of the original PlayStation, Career Soft's Growlanser series teams up on North American PS2s in this special two-game release. Included are both Growlanser II: The Sense of Justice and Growlanser III: The Dual Darkness; cult hits in across the Pacific but previously unavailable to North American gamers.
The games follow many conventions of the tactical role-playing style, including an isometric perspective, squad-based battles between diverse parties, a complicated system of cause and effect as fights play out, and customizable character development. However, Growlanser boasts enormous campaign worlds and open-ended stories that distinguish it from many more familiar strategy role-playing games.
All good RPGs tell a story, but only some allow the player to truly influence the story's outcome. Whether a formal face-off or a random encounter, each battle in Growlanser may have long-range consequences. The developer boasts the games must be completed at least twice for players to see even half of the possible events and outcomes the game world offers.
