    Enemy Zero is a survival horror game for the Sega Saturn that borrows LIBERALLY from the Ridley Scott's Alien. It's another Kenji Eno masterwork.

    Honestly, I would love something that takes this concept and approaches it in a way that couldn't have been done back in the 90s.
    Imagine having all the enemies in the game only be visible through their influence on the environment. Don't even have any models, just track where they are and have a physics simulation imply their presence.
    If there's a puddle, show splashing as they move through it. If there's a set of crates, have them move a bit when the monsters are passing them. That sort of thing.
    Different areas would have different giveaways for the things you're trying to evade and the last area could be a homage to this game: lots of long, dark corridors with barely any objects for the creatures to bump into, with only a tiny little beep to keep you updated on where you are relative to anything else until you're close enough to hear them breathing.

      Closest thing to this is a level in the first The Evil Within. Completely invisible enemy is introduced, but they fill the level with puddles, stacks of books, wheelchairs, medical trays, gurneys, etc. It was terrifying and fantastic, I couldn't believe no other horror games followed up on the concept (including its sequel). So check it out if you're looking for a modern example of this!

    Criminally underrated.
    The sound design in the game is fantastic. It goes from low drone sounds to loud pounding & screeching outta nowhere.
    I remember that cutscene where the Enemy ambushes Laura in the elevator.
    💩‘ed my pants just from sounds.
    What Eno got right was that with monsters;
    the more you see them, the more they become comical.
    So making them invisible creates horror in the mind. The pinging & monsters screeching just fans the flames.
    It’s an unforgiving game, but what it gets right, it nails. Really unique.

      You’re totally right. Tight sound design and minimizing how much the audience actually sees of an enemy can have a huge impact on a horror game. It was really clever how he combined these two elements. Unfortunately, it does seem like the game suffers a bit from its own difficulty. When you start getting annoyed or wandering around too much, you lose fear.

      for a year or so after any fromsoft rpg comes out, the related subreddits are flooded with people like this. folks who seems to have no other way to give their self-image tangible value than by comparing themselves to the struggles of other people. to me it seems like a similar impulse as the one that drives susceptibility to conspiracy theories or unjustified belief systems. that desperate need for the illusory power that comes from pretending you know super special secret things that other people don't, or are specially chosen by some magical force.
      interestingly they're no where to be found in the intervening years, during which the souls subreddits become one of the most warm and supportive and tolerant places on the internet. someone about a shared journey and a shared struggle just leads to kindness and tolerance.

      Also, "mission to send androids into alien planet to collect specimens" and "falling in love with an android and only finding out after he's ripped apart by an alien" is straight out of a series of comic books that came out after the second Alien movie and served as sequels. It told what happened to Newt and Hicks, but got retconned after the third movie came out and the names of the characters were changed in future reprints.
      They were honestly amazing and the story they tell is very gripping. I have a edition with the original names still that I luckily got in a Blockbuster clearance sale

Your fingers themselves are all just fat, bone, and tendons - the actual muscles are in the central part of the hand, which pull on the tendons like a system of pulleys. Completely detached like that, they might not be as rigid as you'd expect; hard to say since you typically encounter amputated fingers after car/motorcycle crashes and thus still fresh by the time of the scene investigation.

    Enemy Zero was one of those first horror games I played outside the most popular horror games like Resident Evil and Silent Hill. When I first read about the game mechanics, I became absolutely interested with the invisible enemies and spatial-sound tracking.
    I was expecting difficulty after a background check on it, but what I never knew was the recorder that uses batteries. The recorder has the most terrifying mechanic in this game, because it is absolutely a permadeath system when you run out of battery life. It’s game over when it reaches 0 and I have to restart the entire game again from the beginning. It also doesn’t matter that whether you load or save the game, the battery will continue depleting either way. And that is even harder than classic Resident Evil games that only deplete ribbons when you save, not when you load.
    The last parts of the game were the most terrifying and most difficult. Even if accompanied by a pistol with infinite rounds, the complex maze of same corridors can easily make you lost and knock off your sanity, and will make you panic for your recorder battery life every load. It’s a little close to being a YOLO scenario.
    Regardless of all that, I am one ridiculously stubborn player, and I finished the game at last. With only 2% recorder battery life remaining, Laura Lewis was able to escape the ship safely. My eyes welled up a little bit from almost getting permadeath, and I was cheering her on as the shuttle cutscene was running. A very difficult experience indeed, but a game that is possible to beat with effort. The horror, gameplay, the lean plot and the puzzles were the peak of this game. Being able to beat it is a rewarding experience.
    D and D2 (which really was fine storywise but I love the soundtrack especially the ending) I played right after Enemy Zero just to get something good from all of them. Even if they now pale in comparison to the games we have today, I love the innovative mechanics that Kenji Eno put in them, makes them more engaging to play if we go back to the 90s.
    When I compare the 3 WARP games, Enemy Zero is the best. I had a good time playing it for a week, and include the fact that I just played it on February 2020, which was the time that lockdown seriously started in our country.😂 Just the perfect time to play an “isolation” space horror game :>
    Now, to add more challenge in the game, I’ll be replaying it again, but this time around I’ll be recording it and upload my gameplays (I just dunno when). You mentioned this was the Saturn version, right? I played the PC port, and it was mentioned the PC port includes 2 additional monster types in the game, hence even more masochistic in my situation LMAO. But what I’m not sure about both versions is the resolution. The game display only occupies 1/4 of my PC screen, and I don’t know how much it occupies from the TV screen of the Saturn version, if it’s in fullscreen or more like windowed as well.

    Alright phew theres a lot of stuff in my mind atm but I hope I can communicate it clearly. When I watched that intro about the invisible enemies and the audio ping used to locate them, the first thought that crossed my mind was about Death Stranding's BTs. They actually feel very reminiscent of the enemies in Enemy Zero, as they are only able to be located thanks a direction and and approximative distance given to you by that little funky arm on Sam's back. Now what gets even more interesting is the parralel between Enemy Zero and Alien and how that actually relates to Death Stranding. From what I remember from the first movie, Alien deals with a lot of themes surrounding motherhood (the central computer being named Mother, Ash bleeding what looks like milk while emitting baby cries, the Xenomorph gestating inside its host etc...), motherhood themes which can also be found in Death Stranding (Bridge Babies being harvested from still mothers, BTs literally having an umbilical cord floating around them, Sam having a C-Section scar on his belly...) Now idk what the fuck you can do with this information other than deducf that Kojima probably played and was influenced in some measure by Enemy Zero and its definition of motherhood and femininity for the making of Death Stranding but its a pretty fun thing to consider.

    This game kind of reminds me of Robotica, with the maze-like corridors in a space station and aliens, but that was a FPS shooter, this is more survival horror.
    I think the tension of hearing beeps as invisible enemies get closer to you would drive me batty, but I think there would also be a bit of a thrill in being able to shoot them correctly.

    @Sisren86 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +7

    What I find most interesting about Enemy Zero is that as a kid (12 - 13) I found it scary as hell but was determined to finish it and plowed through. Now as an adult, this is the type of game I would probably read about and give a hard pass both because of the difficulty and fear (I've become kind of a baby when it comes to horror games). Funny how punishing difficulty as a kid translates to frustration as an adult.

    "Program (x-sa) should be used for such case."
    Is it a coincidence that a few years later, Metroid Fusion, set on a space station where the protagonist is hunted by an alien lifeform, uses SA-X for the name of its enemy?

    I learned about this game years and years ago when Happy Nerd aka Derek from Stop Skeletons From Fighting covered it. Retro games were still affordable then so I was able to grab a copy from eBay. It's such a cool and unique game, and you can see how it influenced Alien Isolation. I'm just glad to see someone else talking about it!

    Was way too hard for me back then. I couldn't get anywhere and basically gave up. But damn, those corridors look really nice! Not even because the 3D engine runs relatively smoothly for a Saturn game, but also due to the textures. Very good art direction imho. Also that Soundtrack is just amazing.

The ending is super exhilarating too.

    Considering that back in 2015/2016 I was trying to look up survival horror video games, or horror video games in general that would give me the spooks, something from the past or in the present I haven't tried out that I could play on an emulator. And sadly this game wasn't on that list of the most popular survival horror games on say Google's search engine. So seeing this one mentioned, well, I'll have to watch a longplay with no commentary to sleep to and get the full experience myself.

  • @Lucifronz

    Great review and yes , its was hard to figure out how to turn one some power in some areas that needed a sequence of buttons to press but all of that makes ir realistic ! Not like having an arrow pointing where to go like in other games! 😂

      I always had this wierd thought that Eno was assassinated in some form or another due to what he did to SONY.. creative auteurs should be extra careful with whom they trigger or annoy..
      They said it was a normal heart attack.. but to me, he falls into a list I am aware of, of a lot of magnificent autuers and creatives who passed away very young.. 😶
