Overview Galerians is a sci-fi survival horror game developed by Polygon Magic and published by ASCII for the Sony PlayStation in Japan on August 26, 1999, with overseas releases by Crave Entertainment on April 14, 2000 (in North America) and June 9, 2000 (in Europe).
Set in the year 2522 in the fictional Michelangelo City, Galerians puts players in control of a 14-year-old amnesiac named Rion, who discovers he has powerful psychokinetic powers that he can control with injections of Psychic Power Enhancement Chemicals (or PPECs). After escaping a top-secret part of a hospital where he was experimented on, Rion must find the whereabouts of a mysterious girl that communicates with him telepathically, only to be entwined in a conspiracy involving the city's "Mother Computer" and a race of superhumans known as "Galerians".The game plays similarly to early Resident Evil games, including the use of tank controls. One key difference is that instead of guns and melee weaponry, players make use of Rion's various psychic powers, which can be switch between and refilled by applying PPEC injections. The game also makes use of an AP ("anger point") gauge, which under great stress causes Rion to "short circuit" and lose control of his powers, causing him to release a psychic onslaught that continuously damages all nearby enemies (as well as himself) unless he satiates it using a special capsule.Along with a PlayStation 2 sequel, known as Galerians: Ash, the game also received a three-part CGI OVA in 2002 known as Galerians: Rion.GameplayBeing a survival horror game it has the Resident Evil style control and feeling in-game.
