I have completed Landstalker with a time just under nineteen hours. The game is just as good as I remembered it being. Landstalker is one of the best action RPGs ever made. It's got everything covered. Charming cartoonish graphics. Great music from Motoaki Takenouchi who would go on to score Shining Force 2 among others. Tough combat to keep you on your toes. Even tougher puzzles. And a great comic story that's actually laugh out loud funny in a few places. It's also one of the toughest games ever made. Some of the puzzles might drive some people insane. And that's only half of it. Once you've figured out what you need to do, the action needed to get it done will require great skill. Landstalker's cartoonish looks hide the challenge level to be found within. If you consider yourself a fan of the action RPG or games with puzzles in action and can deal with the isometric perspective then Landstalker is a must own title. Also just don't expect the Genesis version of The Legend of Zelda 3: A Link to the Past, as Landstalker is entirely original. It was great to relive this one all these years later. I've giving Landstalker for the Genesis via the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console a 9.5. Just be sure to have a Classic Controller...
