Good games tend to breed sequels. Better yet, games that are successful on the retail front are pretty much guaranteed to produce a sequel or two. Given that Alundra faired moderately well on the sales charts, with North American sales exceeding 150,000 units, it wasn't a surprise to see that a sequel was released in Japan and later picked up for release in the United States by Activision.
Alundra was not only a retail success but a critical one, as well. Most reviewers, who were blessed with any sort gameplay skills and didn't find the game too overwhelmingly difficult, considered first Alundra to be one of the best action/RPG's of recent times. With such big feet to follow, the developers had a dreadful task at hand of trying to follow-up one of the true videogame masterpieces.
