Einhander - PS1 Review

 



This is a shoot em up released in 1998 by Squaresoft.  A very colorful game with polygon sprites.  There is a difficulty select  of easy, normal, and difficult.  The game is pretty challenging on easy mode.  You can choose between 3 ships, each with different attributes (of course).  Weapons upgrades come from blowing up bigger ships that drop the weapons that are attached to them.  You can get cannons, missiles, vulcans, etc.  Gameplay is pretty good, although I got bored in about 15 minutes.  Music is pretty good and ranges from a weird opera at the beginning to rap at the end of the first stage.  One thing I don't like about the game is that is switches automatically from side scrolling to a weird angle view.  It likes to do this view switching for boss fights.  Overall the game is an above average shooter but I don't see myself going back to it for replay.  The game gets a 6 out of 10.
