Pike, the hero of this Sunsoft RPG, was raised by a family of harpies after his parents died, and he carries a talking sword that holds the soul of a sorcerer named Cyrus. That premise sets the tone for a gentle, storybook fantasy that came out on the Saturn in Japan in 1996, with Working Designs bringing it to North America a year later. Despite the shared name, it is a separate game from the earlier Super Famicom Albert Odyssey titles, which were strategy RPGs.
This entry is a traditional turn-based adventure with random battles, towns and overworld travel, presented in carefully drawn 2D sprites at a time when most RPGs were chasing polygons. Working Designs gave the script its usual playful, joke-heavy rewrite, which some players enjoy and others find intrusive. It was one of the few English-language RPGs on the Saturn, which gave it a loyal following.
