Dynasty Warriors meets Starship Troopers in Koei�s Crimson Sea.
Koei�s Group Control Engine, made famous by the Dynasty Warriors franchise, gets a change of scenery in the sci-fi adventure Crimson Sea. As Sho the Vipa, you harvest waveforms from around the galaxy and then harness them into NeoPsionic powers that give you a fighting chance against ravaging hordes of Mutons that threaten mankind. Up to 1000 bad guys appear onscreen at a time, though you won�t have time to count them if you want to live! Your weapon�which is both a blaster and blade�is highly customizable with different barrels, effectors, and generators.Crimson Seas gets extra props for its spectacular bosses, which come in many delightfully terrifying forms and are guaranteed to strike fear into the heart of even the most staid adventurer. The only things holding this game back from true greatness are the jumpy camera and choppy controls. With over 40 levels and a slew of A.I.-controlled party members, Crimson Sea offers hours of exciting gameplay.
