About this product

Product Information

Combining elements of strategy with the all-out assault of a real-time battle game, THE UNHOLY WAR has begun. You are on Xsarra, a planet on the brink of war. A peace treaty has been broken between the native Arcanes and the advanced Teknos. You must choose your allegiance (Arcane, Tekno, or a combination of both), your team of seven (there are 14 warriors available) and begin your assault. Select from two modes of play: Combat Mayhem mode, a 3D weapon-based fighting game, or Combat Tactics mode, a chess-like strategy contest where your characters move on a hexagonal board for points. Once you meet an opponent on the board, a battle in real-time ensues. There are 14 different battlefields, each with its own unique terrain, obstacles, and weather conditions. Play a single-player game against the computer or challenge your friend in two-player combat. THE UNHOLY WAR will place you in the heat of an intergalactic battle.

  • A Hidden Jewel

    Unholy war for the PS1 is truly one of those amazing games that few people know of. The attention to detail is amazing. Butterflies that flow around when disturbed to actual environmental explosions that may damage/kill. So many things the developers did just worked, especially the game play. Compelling yet simple. There are no crazy combos to remember. Just knowing what each characters strengths & weaknesses are. Also knowing when to strike down your opponent or when to play defense. Playing against the AI on various levels of difficulty fits the levels of expertise. Start off on easy. Then continue to immerse and challenge yourself against the A.I. If your interested just head over to watch some reviews on YouTube. 10/10 that still holds up today.

  • Too good for you commoners. It's the straight dope.

    The game "the unholy war" might be one of the most overlooked examples of excellence that exists. It's fundamentally a battle game that's 1 on 1 with characters having distinct advantages over eachother that can make some nearly invincible to others, however the many arenas an virtually nerf or even reverse these advantages. Each player has 6 other different characters that they can use to replace a character that is defeated, winner is the first one to eliminate all 7 of opponents roster. Or there is strategy mode that is like a chess game where a square on the board produces units who can either be moved to resource squares to generate income, or moved to attack enemy units, winner is first to occupy the enemy production square and then wipe out enemy remaining forces. It's graphics are way ahead of its time and actually look really good for the era, the gameplay is super smooth and has plenty of room to play as a novice as well as an expert while still being fun. However a novice likely couldn't touch me unless they had the right character on the right environment to the greatest advantage. It's in person 2 players pvp or 1 players vs game

  • Childhood Favorite!

    The Unholy War was one of my favorite games as a kid. I'm glad I'm able to play it again. I totaly recomend this game. An epic classic and a blast from the past. These older games are sceariously the best. And for some reason I just have that slight sadisfaction that they have a black back for the disk. Came in perfect condition. (Please get this game! It's simple, but fun)

  • The Unholy War

    This was one of the best action strategy games you will find on the original PlayStation. Fun movement strategy based attacks with real-time combat between the two opponents. Bonus demo of Blood Omen soul reaver.
