Very cool Sci-fi hack and slash from the era when we used to call them Diablo Clones. It stood out from it's peers due to the fact that not only did it feature multiple playable characters, all of whom had recorded speaking lines, but their inventory system, their stats and the weapons they can use were all entirely unique to that character and the campaign had an entirely unique progression for each of them.
Fairly simple ARPG in terms of systems, but the story turned out to be better than expected. The setting was also interesting with sci-fi technologies and alien factions. The weirdness is fairly well communicated by story and visuals. Gameplay could become somewhat dull at times, but the environments are well done and somewhat varied and the atmosphere is fairly strong. There are three characters which do follow their own storylines.
Nothing spectacular gameplay-wise. It feels closer to diablo 1 than 2, although released way after the latter. What makes it unique is the story and writing which are actually really good. I'd actually love to revisit this universe.
It's very climatic game full of memorable character and environmental designs. The lore is also quite interestingl because of the hidden stuff - easter eggs and unique dialogs which sometimes uncover unnerving elements of worldbuilding. It's overall very basic gameplay-wise, but the cool thing is that all characters have their own stories with special quests giving each of them an unique flavour. It's a nice game and because of its current scarcity it can be only obtained via piracy.
Well, I remember seeing this. On a shelve somewhere in the supermarcket : "oh this looks nice" But I was still a teen, and couldn't ask my parent to get it for me.
I managed to finish it (with only one character), thanks to abandonware, much later. But getting it 100% legaly would be nice. If I do get it here, maybe I'll try another character ? Emulation is nice, and was a great part of my gaming, a long time ago. Now ? I guess my will is lacking. I either forget the game, lose the files needed to play the game ...lots of stuff...

Parasite Eve IIParasite Eve II is an action role-playing survival horror video game released exclusively for the PlayStation. The game was developed by Square and published in Japan in 1999 and in both North America and, unlike the previous game, in PAL regions in 2000. It is the sequel to Parasite Eve and the second game in the series of the same name.
Parasite Eve II is set several years after the events in the original game. The protagonist from the first game, Aya Brea, also features in this game as the playable character. She becomes involved with another outbreak of Mitochondrial creatures. Gameplay diverges from the previous game: battles take place in real time and the area of action is less restrictive. The approach is more typical of traditional survival horror games, although some role-playing elements are retained.Trending Action Horror Science fiction Survival
