I would love it if you did a review on the Nickelodeon All Star Brawl games. I think you would have fun with that like you did with PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.

I knew the kid was the monster from the moment I saw shorts paired with boots, a choker, and a t-shirt over a long sleeved shirt, but the part where people's heads were blown off were a nice confirmation.

Same. I hate cool and fun goth grunge aesthetic. I also hate teenagers who dress like teenagers. Bunch of monsters I tell ya. There's nothing objectively worse then fashion style and fictional anime-inspired character designs I don't personally like from a video game I didn't play. When will those silly tasteless Japanse creators learn to pander to out objectively better aesthetic tastes?

Holy crap! This is the only game my Mom played. We had a bad second disk and the final boss was bugged. No matter how much damage we did to her she wouldnt die. We watched videos and everything. My mom even got so good she barely took damage and saved all the heavy hitters. to this day never saw the ending because we never could find another game for sale. haha

[@SirFishdude]

Also, it probably wasn't bugged, it just takes a crazy amount of hits, not to mention that a bug like that doesn't make much sense technically.

[@Silverman160Zero]

There was also an OVA movie made for this. Galerians: Rion. Made entirely in CG, it covers the story while also throwing in some background development for the characters. Also, fun fact: The Japanese VA for one of the characters is also the voice of DIO.

[@daevious_]

Don't quite me on this, but I vaguely recall hearing Yuri Lowenthal's voice in the English dub.

[@fernie-fernandez]

If I recall, Rion is voiced by Akira Ishida. Birdman, being voiced by DIO’s VA, Takehito Koyasu, alongside RainHeart, who’s voiced by Kenichi Suzumura…who would’ve thought Athrun fought against Mu La Flaga & Shinn Asuka.

If you ever owned a cheat book, it basically just has a long list of games from the year it was made in it and it really puts into perspective how screwed you would be if you tried to play EVERY single game on a console.

I saw the Galerians OVA playing one night on MTV2 as a 10 year old and that shit scarred me for years. the imagery and haunting character designs & settings are burned into my brain. Playing the game as an adult recontextualized those sticky memories in a very creepy yet satisfying way

[@ARMTOAST]

I didn’t even realize it was from a video game for 10+ years! it took very vague google searches for me to eventually stumble back on it.

[@dallinjc3]

Loved the movie. Caught it when I was a kid, must've been late night, I was the only one awake. But I knew it was something Japanese and looked edgy and cool. To this day haven't seen another movie with that same horror vibe. There's something about it.

[@lyuanfranco7842]

Great video..."You must survive The horror or the horror must survive you??? games" is such a underrated genre (games where you play as a monster fighting other more fucked up monsters like splatter house, the first DMC for example) this almost makes it to this genre if wasn't by the fact for most enemies being just humans

[@Ryzard]

Sounds like a great summary of DOOM, especially when it's fleshed out (literally) in 2016/eternal. Though you are a very human monster.

[@LoliconSamalik]

Those kindsa games sound more like power fantasies though. This is a rather different angle of a monster trying to survive, caring less for those he kills to do so amidst desperation.

[@lyuanfranco7842]

​@@Ryzard, kinda, but I don't think so, the atmosphere is more action sci-fi than horror, but the early game really make it to this genre

[@lyuanfranco7842]

​@@LoliconSamalik yeah that's it, this one of the biggest things of the genre(I am bad at explaining stuff) like splatterhouse, you are a badass but the other monsters are bigger badass, but you still will destroy them

[@masterseal0418]

It kinda makes sense cuz both games out of a franchise have the protagonist as demons and be very badass. Devil May Cry gets goofy every now and then compared to the Splatterhouse games. A stark contrast regarding your statement, that's for sure.

[@wander7812]

For those who may be interrested into "Horror" games/movies where you/mc are the monster, the genre is called "Reverse Horror".

[@psillyspirit420]

Hahaha yeah this is a pretty good look at what an Akira video game would be like.

[@cordia96]

GamingBrit might be one of the few channels that can make a Galerians Ash video. Not just focusing on Galerians glaring issues.

[@masterseal0418]

Even during the golden years of horror games, there are a lot of obscure or lesser-known titles, with some becoming it's own series. Galerians, D & D2, Eternal Darkness, Nightmare Creatures, Alisa, the Parasite Eve trilogy, the Dino Crisis duology, Alone in the Dark(the game who pioneers survival horror next to the late-80s' Sweet Home), and Koudelka/Shadow Hearts are painfully underrated. The former and latter have the main protagonist either become a metaphorical or literal monster, either for evil or good. Rion kills and maims people with his psychic powers for no apparent reason just to act heroic(the same thing applies to Spec Ops The Line, one of the most disturbing games ever released, and aged well considering what's going on recently in the Middle East), whereas Yuri Hyuga takes the form of grotesque monsters he kills, but only on one condition: they cost his senses by Shadow Hearts' very own Sanity Meter(compared to Eternal Darkness' equivalent where the game messes with the player, to the point where it enters mindfuck territory. The bathtub jumpscare and corrupted save-file Sanity Effects speak for themselves). The ending to Galerians makes it a lot scarier since the game's protagonist Rion is in fact a teenager before the change of voice during puberty, and witnessed fucked up shit through philosophical themes, watching people continue to suffer without a breather. Also, the box art reading "50 Hours"? Probably a translation error, but at least Galerians 2's main character looks cool, almost like Tetsuya Nomura designed Raiden from Metal Gear. However the sequel's hot garbage unlike the original, so survival horror fans should give Galerians a go.

[@Kaitou1412Fangirl]

I was thinking about Shadow Hearts' sanity meter and the Malice system throughout this too. For those who don't know, the more monsters you kill, the higher the malice rises and it changes the color of the stone in Yuri's necklace. When the stone turns red, the reaper shows up and it's very dangerous. The malice can be cleansed in the graveyard of Yuri's soul accessed via save point.

[@crimsonangel4457]

Oh my childhood! I got this game as a gift in my little pink easter basket as a kid lol My dad really was just buying random games without really looking into it.

[@nopenope2550]

I don't know how I didn't expect you to cover this game. Good shit.

[@wyrdstone]

Its always a pleasant surprise when an obscure title like this gets the limelight. I played it back in the day, and several years ago, went on a quest to find a copy of it IRL. Managed to find a small, family-owned gaming shop ran by an old Japanese lady. I asked if she had Galerians, and her face brightened up. She was kind of shocked anyone knew about it, and it became my favorite shop to visit, it really was the only one that carried these kinds of games. Still miss the shop after I moved, had an amazing collection of every kind of game, to include old PC titles. I never did beat the game, as I had rented it back then, solely based on the jewelcase and description. I do recall it being quite a challenge though, and now's a good as any time to go back and finish it!

[@silasrobledo]

My dad was a QA Game Tester for this at Crave Entertainment back in the day! I recently just asked him “what’s that one game I was too scared to play as a kid where you’re a boy who can pop people’s heads” Then he told me a story about how at the Door Knocking Puzzles, he discovered a game breaking bug that crashed the game just before release. It involved timing your presses so that they were just barely offbeat. It was so difficult to reproduce that he nearly needed to travel to Poligon Magics studio in Japan so that he could demonstrate it in person. Thankfully they managed to find it and solve it on their end. Such a throw back tho man. thanks for covering it!

[@Snyperwolf91]

I somehow love this game ! It was the best idea to make a character as strong as tetsuo with his psychic abilities but still very fragile and depended on drugs to get your powers possible to use or even upgrade them . For me its a clear underrated gem that had a concept that is twisted and bizarre but stylisticly cool and outstanding in its edginess . A bit hard to explain but i would appreciate to have more games when your mind is your weapon too .

[@dantespimp]

I played this game a lot as a teen. New-game plus allows you to RUN while you short, which makes it a breeze. However, you really have to put in the work first. This game rewards gamers who are quick, efficient, and pre-plan accordingly. All of this can only come from knowing where important items are and what rooms host enemies, what fights you can avoid altogether, being strategic with your Shorting, and getting accustomed to your charge-up time/distance. I used to zip along the rooms I knew were empty to gather supplies first. Because I knew inventory was limited I would leave specific items behind and later return once I cleared the area (you can always go back to get any items you missed in that section, so long as you do it BEFORE you trigger the boss fight). By the time I explored and gathered supplies, I knew I'd be close to Shorting. By then, I'd return to any rooms with enemies I needed to enter and lay out the pain to clear my way. The game provides you with just enough delmetor to carry you over into that whole section, so if you are fast enough to go through that area, you'll be using that delmetor right before a boss fight. Lastly, don't bother with D-Felon - it's a waste of space. It's just better to clear the way than having to toss enemies aside with little damage done to them and unnecessarily speeding up your AP. The game provides you with TONS of Red and Nalcon to clear out areas with more than enough to spare before an upcoming boss battle. While it does take a moment for them to charge, you'll naturally know how much time and distance you need to charge up as you're playing this game. In close-compact spaces (like in the hotel), it's also just better to run-in and get-out quick instead of fighting. Again, learning the lay-out, enemies, items beforehand really helps.

[@Kneefoil]

Oh yeah, I remember the retsupurae videos on this game. It's a very cool concept for a video game. I don't think I knew there was a sequel. Looking forward to you maybe covering that some day.

[@Coreagrus]

You've sent Galerians directly to my bucket list, although I've never heard of it before. I had always thought that great games before my time might end up being some of my favorites. I already think this is almost certainly going to be an example of that. I will keep all your tips in mind when I finally get around to it. Thanks, TGB. By the way, descawed's video was great. I'm glad you included it.

[@AkumetsuLord]

Heck yea Brit showing off Galerians, really love the tone and story of it despite it being pretty hard (as said, Item management is VERY important in this one). Never got to play the sequel, which is interesting with how the first game ends but i guess Galerians 1 did well enough to get one, i'm just happy if few more people know this neat title.

[@Artersa]

Straight to the bucket list for sure, looks very cool. Thanks for covering.

[@randibillett472]

My first thought with the Shorting mechanic is that I wish it could run out on its own. Like, the paper in the very first room seems to imply the pill you take to stop Shorting halts the progression of the drugs in your system? I think? So it would offer an interesting alternative, while making more sense than it just not being able to kill you like Brit suggests here. So you could either let the drugs run their course until it subsides (maybe only to the point of it retreating halfway and the pill being the only way to get it back to zero) and potentially use a limited restore capsule if your health is low enough, or use an equally limited Delmetor and save as much of your health for future fights as possible. It could make putting your save file into an unwinnable state a lot more difficult while maintaining much of the difficulty, since you wouldn't be able to trigger a Short for every non-psychic fight without running out of resources, same as it works currently. Do gotta say, though, the uncanniness of the PS1 graphics really works in this game's favor, at least where Rion is concerned. The creepy look in his eye during the FMVs as he tilts his head down and just glares silently is mildly unsettling. In general, a lot of his unsettling expressions almost feel like they're hinging on the PS1 graphics.

[@peppermillers8361]

Personally, I feel like the Shorting mechanic in this game is _fine,_ I feel like what raises it should've been more specific. It could've been more fair if it was only when you use your powers and when you refill them (the Dr Lem cutscene implies that was the case at one point, devs likely cut it early on), making it a more "do I attack, or run?" when it comes to decision making. I feel like if the first Galerians was ever planned to be a game with multiple endings, it should've worked like that, considering that you die from shorting in the end. As the game is, I think it gives you enough resources early on, and the amount of Delmetor and healing pills at the beginning is ridiculous (running from encounters also lets you avoid using your powers), it's only act C and D is when they get stingy with it, but on the upside, getting shorted and having to climb up the tower while munching on pills and having enemies around me die made for a tenser situation, because instead of dealing with the awkward combat, I was dealing with my health going down. The fact that they don't even give you at least one pill of Delmetor at the beginning is pretty questionable.

[@morganb5680]

Galerians is my favourite game series!! This video was awesome I love when people bring it up. The story is great and I loved the settings and music like you mentioned.

I'm pretty sure I had a guide with me at the time, because I would have been stuck trying to figure out where to go, lol. I don't remember that annoying knock puzzle but I'm sure I got pretty frustrated. I do agree that I think 50 hours of playtime is exaggerating it, but it felt like over 20 or 30s for me.

Also, about the infamous knock on the door. I have no recollection whatsoever about it. Could it be that: 1-It was an optional thing? 2-It was removed or simplified in the PAL version? 3-somehow I got lucky and managed (very unlikely, I have no trust for my past self)? Because I remember I finished the game twice. The normal run and the New Game + with extras.

We need more games where you play the monster.

I played this game as a kid, could never get past whatever you needed to do in the house! :0

[@madarchmage1151]

I like this. Thank you

[@jg932]

I kid you not, I saw a sequel to this game, MANY, years ago, and up until recently, I thought I just made it in my head

[@Calypso694]

Holy cow loved this game!!

[@nrmspike]

Gave it a play after this review and I am enjoying it so far! The resource system feels like it has it's own cruel identity, much like the rest of the game.

I remember that game. I had it. It was very fun, I found.

another one yay just earlier today i saw a video which contains hellnight and now this !another one i really loved for its uniqueness and story and yea i agree with almost everything u said in the video . and i just replayed galerians 2 months ago 😂😂

[@Cynical_Nunny]

God i still think of this game from time to time. Well, not THIS one. I think it was called Galerians Ash. Which came after? Definitely gonna be searching that next. And some movie based on it. Which i remember freaking out cause it showed the time in movie and when i looked at a clock irl it was the same time lmao. /end of pointless musings Nice vid! Took me back.

Having played this when it came out, Galerians was a massive departure from what we expected of survival horror. You would alternate between a massive power fantasy and feeling helpless. The story had a number of interesting twists along the way, and by the end of it you felt for the Galerians. It is hard, but worth a play through. I think it would certainly benefit from a remake in a modern engine.

already played this game 3 times growing up, not playing it again, my head hurts thinking about playing it again, also never knew there was a second game.
