BLAST RADIUS

Rid the universe of a brutal enemy in Blast Radius. High-powered space shoot’em up from Psygnosis.

Atlanta, GA – May 28, 1998 - Blast your enemies as you never imagined you could! In Blast Radius™ you play the part of Kayne the sole surviving warrior of a legendary unit of space fighters, the Wolf Squadron. Your comrades gone, you roam the universe fighting for anyone who will give you a job. Those who destroyed your friends now plan to attack a friendly, innocent race, the Vorn who appeal for your help. They’re offering you sacks of gold to save them and you’re driven by revenge to rid the galaxy of the evil Kotan-Kai and so the battle begins.

Blast Radius is a fast and furious 3D space shoot-em-up for the PlayStation™, combining next-generation graphics with classic arcade game-play. It offers a choice of 4 assault craft, each with its own appearance, weapons and controls and 32 types of highly intelligent enemy craft to fight, including bounty hunters, crime spaceships and military ships and they’re armed to the hilt. You have a choice of 17 different weapons with their own dazzling pyrotechnics and you’ll need to deploy them with all your skill do defeat your enemy. Stunning graphics include unique environmental elements including asteroids, cloaked planets, satellites, wormholes and kamikaze drones which are highlighted by real-time lighting effects.

With the emphasis firmly on game-play you’ll need to think on your feet to fight your way through 31 large and varied missions over 10 sectors.

Blast Radius includes a 2-player link up mode for co-operative play against the enemy or deathmatch levels.

Blast Radius is developed by the Psygnosis London studio and will be available for the PlayStation in Q3 1998. Supports analog joysticks.
