Philosoma was one of the first games announced for the PlayStation. The player ships have four weapons that can be upgraded thrice as well as side-arms consisting of homing missiles and rockets.
The camera switches several times during various levels from a vertical/top-down perspective to a rail shooter perspective (which is often reversed), to a horizontal scrolling perspective and an isometric scrolling perspective. Philosoma plays like many scrolling shooters with the noticeable difference of its multiple perspectives. However, a horrible secret hidden in the battle awaits them. Each are piloting the latest space fighter ships, the F/A-37 Strega, in an attempt to neutralize the unknown threat. The player assumes the roles of D3, a rookie pilot, as well as his commander and Charlie squadron Commander Nicolard Michau. Alpha and Bravo teams are called in, but after enemy contact is made, the team fails to respond. One of the earliest PlayStation games, it was met with mediocre reviews, with most critics assessing its graphics as dull and its gameplay as primitive.Ī recently colonized alien planet named Planet 220 reports a devastating attack by an unknown force and requires assistance. It was re-released on the PlayStation Network in Japan on April 26, 2007. It was released in Japan in July 1995, North America in January 1996 and PAL territories in March 1996. Philosoma is a shooter video game developed by G-Artists and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.
