Item Description

Most fighting games give you a floor to stand on. Psychic Force takes it away. Two combatants float inside a sealed, glowing cube and move freely in every direction, dashing, guarding and hurling elemental blasts across open space, and the walls of that force field are a weapon in their own right: knock an opponent into one and the impact does real damage, while a follow-up hit as they rebound sends them tumbling. It looks and plays unlike almost anything else in the genre.

The fighters are Psychiccers, people born with powers tied to a single force. Burn Griffiths throws fire, Keith Evans commands ice, Wendy Ryan rides the wind, Emilio Michaelov wields light, Brad Kilsten bends gravity and Richard Wong manipulates time, while the cyborg soldier Gates Oltsman and the mystic Rokudo Genma fight on very different terms. Everything runs on the Psycho Gauge beneath your life bar. Special moves and the protective Barrier Guard drain it, and an empty gauge leaves you firing weak shots until you recharge, so matches become a tense game of spacing, timing and resource management. If time runs out, the arena itself shrinks for a sudden-death showdown.

Taito wrapped it all in an earnest anime-style story. In the year 2010, a Psychiccer organization called NOA, led by the young Englishman Keith, sets out to build a world for Psychiccers alone and eliminate anyone in its way. His old friend Burn joins the resistance to stop him, and that friendship-turned-rivalry gives the cast real heart. Western critics of the time were lukewarm, but in Japan the game was a real arcade hit and grew into a series, with a 1998 anime adaptation and the sequel Psychic Force 2012, later reworked for the PlayStation as Psychic Force 2.

This is the original Japanese PlayStation release from October 1996, the version Taito's home audience played. For import collectors and fans of offbeat '90s fighters, it is a fascinating piece of a cult series, an experiment in three-dimensional combat that few games have tried since.

About the game

The plot of Psychic Force takes place in the year 2010, where selected individuals are blessed with the power of psychic abilities. All people imbued with this power are called "Psychiccers" and uses a specific element such as fire, light, wind, electricity, gravity, time, or ice in fighting. Psychiccers are shunned by normal people in general because of their unnatural abilities and that most cases turn violent and deadly from within sight. All of that changes one day when a mysterious Psychiccer organization known as NOA appears and offers Psychiccers a place from within their company. Headed by a young British Psychiccer man named Keith Evans, NOA seeks to create a perfect utopia for Psychiccers and that they'll eliminate anyone who tries to stand in their way. Challenging NOA's ambition is a small independent group known as Anti-NOA and that one of its members, a young American Psychiccer man named Burn Griffiths, seeks to confront and stop his old friend Keith from going through with his extreme plans of creating a Psychiccer-only world.
