This game, honestly, inspired me. It made me believe that a whole lot of shit happens and will happen to me in the future if I go the distance, but, to imagine all the things that I can become and the things that I can do even when the whole world seems to be against me, in order to feel that utter sweet victory..............you just got to feel that tension of your world slowly turning upside down.
Even if it comes out shitty, I still want a sequel to this game. I've had it since '99, and I can't tell you how worn out the disk is from it being played so much.
@Rovelius It's a late response but, true, shatter have an interesting ost (even though that bonus level have an annoying song). But in every Shoot'em up, Einhander rules, both OST and Gameplay
@Raxyzz Hmm really, I thought it was a decent song. The only one I can't get over with is Amethyst Caverns. Ain't too fond of chipmunk voices lol. Einhänder still pwns tho
@Rovelius Amethyst Cavern is good too, but my favourite is the boss theme, i like strong beats like those. Even so, my music taste is difficult 'cause i do like chipmunks XD. But seriously, i'm going to mail square so that they put einhander in PSN XBLA and Steam, maybe if sells good they might consider an Einhander
2, that would be killer (and Cave's nightmare lol)
@Raxyzz YEAH, REGION BLOCKS SUCK BIGTIME! BUT I ACTUALLY HAVNT PLAYED THE GAME, I WAS JUS TALKIN ABOUT THE SOUNDTRACK, CHECK SOME OF EM OUT ON YOUTUBE! =)
Einhander is one of my very favorite games of all time (mostly because of the soundtrack). I first played a demo of it over 10 years ago and have loved it ever since. However, my emulator will not work so I cannot play it =[
@Omega13Shadow Ghey. Daemon Tools Lite is a great mounter. And ePSXe 1.7 is great with it, too.
I can use OpenGL2 plugin but if your PC isn't that decent you can just get that Soft plugin. PEC (PSX emulation cheater) as well if you'd like to go invincible :] Cheers.
If I remember correctly -- I think this is the music for the last boss in the game.
I remember when I saw it the first time I didn't know which way was up. But it's easier than it looks.
You should see the final in Radiant Silvergun. You won't know what real fear until you are chased by a 3D running man throwing so many shots it makes Einhanders final look like a complete cakewalk. :)
Youre right.. It isn't. Games like the Darius series & the R -Types are much harder. The thing is -- those games arent nearly as fun or as elegant as Einhander.
Truthfully, the only game in its class is Radiant Silvergun -- which is much more difficult and just as elegant and fun as Einhander. If you haven't played it. Give it a shot. It's hardcore shmup fun.
Try the SSF Emulator if you don't have it already...
I've never played this game before. Heck, I've never even heard of it before I heard Thermosphere (which I've listened to a thousand times)... but the music kicks ass. It's so awesome
KingKrisp7, it's a really great game. One of my all-time favorites. If you own a PS1 or are familiar with emulators/illegal downloading I would highly recommend giving this game a chance.
Man, not only is this battle awesome because of the music, the stage, and Hyperion being so goddamn huge and impressive, but also because it's pretty much a final space 'dog fight' against a 'trusted-ally-now-turned-nemesis' in an upgraded and ubber-pumped up version of your own ship. It all makes you feel in such a way that, when Hyperion himself finally shows up, the only thing you can really say is
@Maverick2736 what I felt with this beautiful choir music with a spectacular battle hard against strong reflehos and explosion to kill my softy emotions HYPERION (it just was a remote-controlled robot) to kill him tremble, cry, and I played it again I am a big Einhänder Einhänder fan
I love this game, a bit too easy though, the only really difficult level was the submarine one. That stage was at least three times harder than any other stage.
loved einhander. i remember playing it with my bro when i was very young :) such a good game... i hope they make a sequel or something like that for ps3 ;) that would be AMAZING this song is deep
i shouldve warned ya about that. but they are making zweihander for ps3 (i think for ps3) sometime in the future. einhander- one handed sword, zweihander- two handed sword. kinda makes sense
Either way... Einhander is easily one of the best games for Playstation. If they could capitialize on this... Maybe open a public forum, Square Enix could take ideas, and make a sequel. Just a thought.
If they don't make a sequel... It would be cool if they did like an anniversary game. Like... Revamp it for the PS2, and PS3 consoles. It would the the first Killer App for the Playstation 3, more than likely...
Despite it's great overall terrific greatplay the original Einhader is a cult classic. Anyone who knows what a cult classic is knows that they rarely sell well... Killer app? It would be cool don't get me wrong but todays gamers wouldn't have a single clue about the franchise. Mabe realeaseing it along side the original on the PSN would help.
Imagine you and your buddy both trying to grab weapons without crashing into things. God, it's going to be even worse than trying to beat your friend to the Spread shot in Contra games.
@RinoaDestiny That could be arranged. Make it so weapons can only be picked up by the player who defeated the enemy. Player ships who don't collide and maybe add a system that if someone dies, the other player can resuscitate him/her by killing a certain number of enemies/or the boss.
Come to think of it, Einhänder could have great multi.
