I'm impressed that you played through Alundra 2 and want to go back and play the first one. I had heard the second one was garbage. But that may be by comparison to the first one. Alundra 1 was very mature for its time. As in the plot was dark and somber, with real drama, and people's lives hanging in the balance. And characters did tend to die off once in a while. And it's your job to attempt to rescue them from their dreams. Its also got a fun action-rpg Zelda'esque style. And I don't tend to like Zelda games very much. But I loved that one. I won't try to say its worth playing more than the others. But its worth being aware what it has in store. So you don't end up shelfing it any longer than necessary
