Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean Albert Odyssey: Legend of Eldean, originally released in Japan as Albert Odyssey Gaiden ~Legend of Eldean~ (?????????????LEGEND OF ELDEAN??) is a role-playing video game developed by Sunsoft for the Super Nintendo, but cancelled and ported to the Sega Saturn, with a lot of changes. Initially released in Japan in August 1996, the game was later made available in North America in July 1997 by Working Designs. It is the first Albert Odyssey title to be released in English, as well as the first to feature traditional turn-based role-playing elements as opposed to tactical, strategy-based gameplay. Legend of Eldean was created as a "gaiden", or sidestory to the original titles. and contains back story, characters, and plot that are independent from earlier games in the series. The North American version received generally favorable reviews, with the game's translation invoking mixed criticism both for its overly-humorous tone and departure from the original Japanese dialogue.
