Psychic Force Game Sample - Playstation
0Original Air Date: June 27th, 2009
I wouldn't say Psychic Force is the best fighting game out there, but it's amazing how overlooked the game is in general. An interesting fighter for certain, Psychic Force debuted back in 1995 in arcades and would go on to have a (very) small cult following. While the games were panned in some magazines (particularly Psychic Force 2012), the game wasn't really deserving of such criticism, IMO. The opening was uploaded a long time ago, so it was skipped.
Psychic Force Puzzle Taisen is the next in the series (A puzzler akin to Bust-a-Move/PB) followed by Psychic Force 2012, which is then followed by Psychic Force 2 (which is the same as the Dreamcast game but with downgraded graphics, extra modes and added characters from the original Psychic Force) and finally Psychic Force Complete (which came with various neat L.E.s). Between Complete and PF2 lies a spinoff of sorts known as X: Unmei no Tatakai, which uses the Psychic Force engine and is based off of the popular "X" anime/manga. It was released for Playstation.
This game is unique for its strategic fighting action and freedom of movement. Characters fly around inside of enclosed arenas and use special abilities based around various elements and phenomenon. Known as "psychikers", they each have their reasons for doing what they do, though most want to aid or prevent the ambitions of a psychic group known as NOAH. Characters each have basic combos, a few forms of defense, a throw, and various elemental attacks that consume different amounts of energy depending on the move and character. For a game made back in 1996, the visuals are impressive from several aspects and the music is cool too (which one comes to expect from Zuntata). The gameplay is interesting and flexible, but you'll find yourself leaning more on long ranges attacks than melee in later battles. A good balance of offense, defense and throws will ensure victory. This is a fun, rare game overall. Enjoy.
