That's why Aya has "magic." (They call it Parasite Energy, but trust us, it's magic.) By summoning the inherent power of her sub-cellular organisms, Aya can access eight separate "spells." These range from a directed energy blast and a radial shockwave to status/HP replenishment and a defensive shell. More powerful weapons and armor are purchased using a "currency."įor some foes, a shotgun blast to the head just won't cut it.
Unfortunately, the first game's extensive weapon customization system has all but disappeared. Aya's arsenal includes pistols, submachine guns, rifles, shotguns and even grenade launchers more powerful weapons have effects such as splash damage upon impact. Gamers now shoot, reload, dodge and take damage in real time: Select your target and hope for the best. Gone are the expanding wireframe spheres and breaks in the action. With all these gameplay changes, a totally revamped battle system should come as no surprise. A large number of (often illogical) logic puzzles stand between the player and success the sequel also places greater emphasis on the proper use of a "key item" inventory. Control, as in most survival-horror titles, is now character-relative. Resident Evil-style locales (complete with auto-map) replace RPG-style field maps. If the original Parasite Eve was a traditional RPG with survival-horror elements, then the sequel is a survival-horror title with RPG elements. Seemingly isolated incidents start to form a pattern, and Aya begins to suspect a conspiracy behind the rise in NMC activity. Her adventure takes her from the Akropolis Tower in the heart of Los Angeles to the sandy wastelands of the Mojave Desert and beyond. Aya and a team of experts are the nation's first line of defense. Ever since the New York episode, dangerously mutated creatures have been popping up all over the nation. MIST is a top-secret, X-Files-like government bureau that deals with and covers up Neo-Mitochondrion Creature-related incidents.
She's left the NYPD and joined up with the Feds: FBI, MIST (Mitochondria Investigation and Suppression Team) division.
Heroine Aya Brea returns, and several years younger, thanks to the retrograde aging effect of her personal mitochondria.
#DAY OF THE PARASITE GAME SERIES#
Square's honed their graphical skills over the course of several games-so why not give their modern-day series another go? It looked fantastic, but its short length left some players cold. Square's Parasite Eve was an early experiment in creating a "cinematic" video game.
