 Landstalker (Page 2): Classic Gaming - The Armchair Empire
As far as stories went, Landstalker proved to be a little different from the average RPG on the market in the early 1990s.
However, the key to Landstalker securing itself as one of the most remembered action RPGs of the 16-bit era came in the game’s ability to combine action with a good dose of exploration and puzzle solving.
Compounding the problem is that a lot of those who responsible for Landstalker have long since left Climax, having formed a new company called Matrix Software, which was responsible for the Alundra games on the PlayStation, and have contracted out their services to help with other projects.

The fact is that regardless of Landstalker's merit, the game represents the pinnacle of Climax's development career, which hasn't produced a decent game since then (or hardly any games at all for matter).
While it's an obvious marketing ploy to generate interest among gamers, it should be mentioned that the only connection between Time Stalkers and Landstalker (besides the name) is the ability to play as the character, Nigel (a treasure hunter) along with his pal, Friday (a Sprite).
Landstalker fans might get a kick out of playing as their beloved Nigel, but everyone else should play Time Stalkers at their own risk.
