Set on a mining spaceship overrun by deadly monsters called Necromorphs following the discovery of an artifact called the Marker, the player controls engineer Isaac Clarke as he navigates the spaceship and fights the Necromorphs while struggling with growing psychosis. It was released for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows as the debut entry in the Dead Space series. It’s a slow, awkward burn but Martian Gothic: Unification is an interesting entry in the annals of horror game history nonetheless.Dead Space is a 2008 survival horror game developed by EA Redwood Shores and published by Electronic Arts. It does feature tank controls which is a bummer. Players could control three characters and had to switch between them to finish the game. There are still zombies in the game, but there is a ghostly edge to them. The game structurally is like the first Resident Evil but it replaces the Spencer Mansion concept with a Martian base.
While Martian Gothic: Unification doesn’t quite reach those levels of cult success, it is a good game to be sure. A lot of good PS1 games that were released between 20 were looked over for this exact reason, Mega Man Legends 2 and Dragon Warrior 7 being just two more examples. This was a full year after the PS2 launched and players had already moved on. The game first launched on PC in 2000 and got a PS1 port in 2001. Martian Gothic: Unification has to be at the top of the list and there’s a good reason why many didn’t play it.
There are a lot of horror games on the PS1 that most players may not be familiar with outside of Resident Evil and Silent Hill.
