The game features [[strategy game|strategy]]-based combat in addition to traditional role-playing game elements in two-dimensional environments. It is the first game in the ''Albert Odyssey'' series, and was followed by a sequel, ''[[Albert Odyssey 2: Jashin no Taidou]]'', in 1994. In June 1996, ''Albert Odyssey'' was made available as a full game download on the Super Famicom's [[Satellaview]] add-on as {{nihongo|'''''BS Albert Odyssey'''''|BSアルバートオデッセイ|BS Arubaato Odessei}}. Players assume the role of Albert, the [[eponymous]] hero and young swordsman who lives in a [[fantasy]] world filled with monsters and mythical creatures. While much of the world remains in relative peace following a great war many years before the start of the game, a military faction led by the dark magician Globus has emerged to conquer the newly pacified nations and expand their empire. With the help of Albert's friends as well as hired mercenaries, the player must travel the world and eventually confront Golbus and his forces to prevent another large-scale conflict. ==Gameplay== [[File:AlbertOdyssey1.png|left|thumb|A typical battlefield scene]] ''Albert Odyssey'' is a traditional [[console role-playing game]] with [[strategy game|strategy]] elements where players must travel through a [[fantasy]] environment battling monsters and other enemies to advance the story. The game uses two-dimensional character sprites and environments accompanied by the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Famicom]]'s [[Mode 7]] graphics capabilities that give the impression of three dimensions. Players move their characters from a top-down perspective through towns and other peaceful areas, while the game's overworld and dungeons are rendered as large battlefields laden with enemies. Throughout the game, players take part in the story by interacting with non-player characters and performing story-driven quests that continually expand the game's narrative. Using a [[turn-based strategy|turn-based]] system, both the player and computer opponent take turns moving and attacking across the field. A player may choose to move, attack, perform magic, use an item in their possession to aid themselves, or retreat to the nearest safe area to rest or restock supplies. Once two characters come in contact with one another, a battle sequence ensues where the attacking character deals damage to the opponent, lowing their health. When the player or enemy's health reaches zero, they are defeated and ejected from the field. Player's advance by confronting and defeating enemies, gaining experience points in the process that go towards making characters stronger and learn new abilities. A character can be further augmented with progressively more powerful weapons and equipment can be purchased in towns or found on defeated enemies. Progress is recorded by using save points found in set areas throughout the game that utilize the Famicom's battery backup-up system. If all of a player's characters are defeated at any time, they are forced to restart the game from the last recorded save file. ==Audio== The music for ''Albert Odyssey'' was written and programmed by Sunsoft in-house composer [[Naoki Kodaka]], with the game being his first Super Famicom and role-playing endeavor.<ref name="OST" /> On June 25, 1993, Sunsoft released an official soundtrack titled ''All Sounds of Albert Odyssey'' in Japan published by [[Datam Polystar]] featuring all background music and jingles from the game.<ref name="OST">{{cite web | author=Gann, Patrick | title=All Sounds of Albert Odyssey |date=2005-11-05 |publisher=[[RPGFan]] | url=http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/ao1/index.html | accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref> Later that year, selected music from ''Albert Odyssey'' was performed by the Tokyo City Philharmonic Orchestra as part of the third [[Orchestral Game Concert|Game Music Concert]] series in [[Tokyo, Japan]], later made available as a commercial album the following December.<ref name="OGC">{{cite web | author=Farand, Eric | title=Orchestral Game Concert 3 |date=2001-04-01 |publisher=[[RPGFan]] | url=http://www.rpgfan.com/soundtracks/ao1/index.html | accessdate=2008-09-10}}</ref> The two tracks represented were "The Road Walked by Heroes" and "Hometown Tibelis", retitled as "Albert Odyssey Theme" and "God's People" respectively.<ref name="OGC" /> {{tracklist | collapsed = yes | headline = ''All Sounds of Albert Odyssey'' tracklist | total_length = 57:03 | title1 = Memories of the Past | length1 = 2:24 | title2 = The Other Side of Reminiscence | length2 = 0:57 | title3 = Beyond the Empty Space | length3 = 0:24 | title4 = An Offering to the Holy King Gort | length4 = 2:21 | title5 = Gathering of Comrades | length5 = 0:14 | title6 = Hometown Tibelis | length6 = 3:04 | title7 = On Holy Ground | length7 = 1:22 | title8 = Fine Goods | length8 = 1:11 | title9 = The Road Walked by Heroes | length9 = 2:51 | title10 = Brimming Strength | length10 = 0:09 | title11 = Roar of the Beast | length11 = 1:39 | title12 = Fire Raid | length12 = 1:27 | title13 = At the Base of Gort's Flag | length13 = 1:54 | title14 = Goodnight, Sophia | length14 = 0:54 | title15 = Take a Rest | length15 = 0:06 | title16 = Clouds Riding the Wind | length16 = 2:27 | title17 = We're Cheerful Workers! | length17 = 2:17 | title18 = In a Strange New World | length18 = 2:17 | title19 = Lover's Dirge | length19 = 2:35 | title20 = Proof of Mania | length20 = 0:32 | title21 = Sleeping World | length21 = 1:45 | title22 = Stir of Sorcery | length22 = 1:26 | title23 = To a New World | length23 = 0:48 | title24 = Mysterious Garden | length24 = 0:55 | title25 = World of Twilight | length25 = 3:14 | title26 = Lovely Faeries | length26 = 1:57 | title27 = Lost in the Darnkess | length27 = 2:16 | title28 = A Faint Glimmer | length28 = 0:10 | title29 = Temple of the Demon God | length29 = 1:28 | title30 = Messenger at the Lunatic Banquet | length30 = 1:13 | title31 = Until My Life Comes to an End | length31 = 2:19 | title32 = Song of Reposing Souls: Warrior's Headstone | length32 = 0:29 | title33 = Anthem of a New Hero | length33 = 2:49 | title34 = Someday, Once More Will He… | length34 = 0:14 | title35 = Sunsoft | length35 = 0:06 | title36 = Fantasia "Singing Voice of Distant Days" | length36 = 4:49 }} ==References== {{reflist|1}} ==External links== *{{moby game|id=/albert-odyssey|name=''Albert Odyssey''}} {{Albert Odyssey series}} [[Category:Japan-exclusive video games]] {{tactical-rpg-videogame-stub}}
