MIRAGE SILHOUETTE (PS1 PLAYSTATION)

Following genetic experiments conducted by a group of scientists at the turn of the millennium, a biological explosion contaminated the genetic structure of life on Earth. Two attributes emerged from the ruins, known as Silhouette and Mirage; like Yin and Yang, they cannot exist without each other, but are fundamentally opposite in nature and ideology. Only a messenger, one who holds both attributes in a balance, is able to travel to the Edo facility and reverse the genetic catastrophe, destroying both Silhouette and Mirage. This messenger is a young girl named Shyna Nera Shyna.

Silhouette Mirage is a side-scrolling action game. The core gameplay is somewhat similar to that of Gunstar Heroes. The standout feature of the game is the concept of the two attributes. Depending on the enemy's attributes and the type of attack Shyna uses, damage can be increased and spirit (equivalent to magic power) can be absorbed by enemies. Shyna can dash, jump, crouch, slide, and grab enemies, performing combo attacks. It is also possible to master moves, acquire money and buy special creatures called "parasites", which teach Shyna different types of attacks.
