Game Sub Menu: [Characters P. I] [Characters P. II] [Game and Anime Comparison]

Read on to find about the PS game of GateKeepers. No, don't envy me because I also do not own this game. If you want to own this game, check out Asylum Anime PSX Games for an available GK game. It's worth $59.00 (update 4/3/03: now its down to $45.00), I think it's an original import. I do wish I own this game, but then again what's the purpose of playing a game that I will not understand. ;_;

Anyway, if you want to read reliable information on GateKeepers Game, please visit Chou Nuriko's GateKeepers PlayStation Database, guaranteed she owns the game! It's still under construction but already has many interesting information.

Again, the animation is based on a game for the PS console. Basically if it is based from something, the plot is somewhat similar, anyway here's the plot of the game.

The year is 1969, Japan is at its peak of high economic development. But unknown life forms, "Invaders", infest Japan with its unknown purpose. It's time for earth defense against the Invaders. It's up to AEGIS, an earth defense organization to do its task. AEGIS has different branches alloted in different countries under the United Nations direction. But AEGIS' last hope are soldiers that have special abilities. They are the GateKeepers!

Shun Ukiya, an ordinary high school student was discovered with the ability that of the GateKeepers. AEGIS appoints this boy as the captain of the GateKeepers.

Make sortie, GateKeepers! Invaders are everywhere in Japan. Fight them!

Game flow from Official GateKeepers Site:

* School Life
You are Shun Ukiya, a student of Tategami Private High School. Your GateKeeper companions are also in the same school. The purpose when not in the battle mode is to take the chance to converse with one of the girls (one of your companions), thus developing relationship with your chosen girl. When Invaders appear, you are assembled at the AEGIS Base which is right under Tategami.

* Make sortie!
AEGIS Far East Branch base is installed underground the Tategami High School. Here, you receive your mission and select a member to fight with you.

* Select your own companion
From a selection of 8 Gatekeepers, you choose the girl that is suited for your mission. Each GateKeeper has different abilities, and it's up to you whether to choose someone that is suited for defense, or offense, or healing. The more you make a certain girl your companion, the more your relationship develops. (It's also a dating sim!) You either choose a girl either for relationship development or for battle strategy. Choose wisely.

* The battle mode
Battle mode becomes the strategy type simulation that is designated in a 3 dimensional stage. If there is a high level concept in the topography of the map, rise up to a high place as physical attacks also increases and the spread of involvement also becomes big. Be sure to consider the range of attack of a certain character. And if the gate is opened, it is possible to use various gate skills.

* Victory!
After your victory in a battle, you return to the school, and once again lead your normal school life. And when you are back to school again, that means you can have time to develop a relationship with a character. The game is mix between dating simulation and strategic simulation.






* Aim to completion, option function!
Once you complete the game, option appears that will be able to play the movie, music and you also get to see chronological table of events in the game. You also get to see the time it took you to complete the game.

Your goal: Protect the earth and the smiling face of the girl.
