Parasite Eve (1998) Retrospective Review - Silent Evil Podcast 10 - Survival Horror RPG

Spencer and Cameron are going back to PlayStation 1, 1998 style with one of the most unique gaming experiences one can have and a style that has never been duplicated in all the years that follow. We are talking all about the Survival Horror RPG from Squaresoft, Parasite Eve, staring the ever-classic female protagonist. Aya Brea. A story sequel to the 1995 book and 1997 adaptation movie of the same name.This story starts off in New York on Christmas, with Aya Brea, a police officer attending an opera and all hell breaking loose. This game is like a Japanese version of Die Hard and Lethal Weapon. Combining a police investigation with science-based mutant-like creatures using the mitochondria ATP that we all learned from biology class back in the day. The story is killer and keeps you locked in through the whole journey. The graphics are top notch for the era, and each new chapter has a completely unique style and look. To top it all off the gameplay is a traditional turn-based RPG but with a mixed run around feature. Complete with level ups and gun upgrading that gives so much personal variety for everyone's different types of play.The game comes in at the right length without ever wearing out its welcome. If that wasn't enough the game has a fantastic replay new game plus with EX mode and then a challenge tower with the Chrysler Building too. 77 floors of continual punishment. We go through it all and talk about our latest experience going through this game. On both original hardware and emulation. A game that Square really needs to bring back and if all they did was give Parasite Eve 1 and 2 the Tomb Raider 1-6 Remaster treatment. That would be more than enough to get new and old folks to enjoy this cult classic masterpiece.So, come join us for the run through retrospective review, as we deep dive into the lore, gameplay mechanics, and give a retro review on our modern experience.
