The NTSC release of Landstalker is the US version of Climax Entertainment/Sega's isometric action-RPG by Yoshitaka Kitao.
An underrated gem
An isometric adventure by Climax, the future blueprint for Alundra, it blends exploration, treasure hunting and platforming puzzles in a charming world. Its isometric 3D perspective sometimes makes jumps finicky, which may have cooled some players. But its endearing world and clever level design make it a delicious action-RPG for patient explorers.
Is Landstalker still worth playing in 2026?
An action RPG by Climax Entertainment, Landstalker offers an isometric adventure where the elf Nigel seeks a legendary treasure across the world of Mercator. The original isometric system, ingenious spatial puzzles and writing full of humour make this title an absolutely unmissable reference of the Mega Drive catalogue. Often compared to Zelda but distinct in perspective and tone, the game remains one of the RPG peaks of the machine. For anyone fond of inventive action RPGs, an absolutely essential recommendation today still here truly indeed.
