The PS1 had some of the best RPGs of all time. Final Fantasy VII, Final Fantasy IX, Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, Suikoden, and many more all-time great RPGs released via the PS1. It also had some filler PRGs though, like Shadow Madness, which was released in 1999 as a PS1 exclusive. And it’s been a PS1 exclusive ever since, but soon it will shed this exclusivity and come to PC. More specifically, it’s coming to PC, via Steam, on February 15.
It’s unclear what upgrades developer Crave Entertainment and publishers Piko Interactive and Bleem are making with the PC port, if any. It’s also unclear how much it will cost, and there’s no word if the game will come to other platforms.
As you may remember, Crave Entertainment was actually the publisher of the original game, with Craveyard Studios the original developer. Upon release, the game garnered mixed reviews, earning a 65 on GameRankings. In 2022, you won’t find many talking about the PS1 exclusive, but perhaps the PC port will change this. And who knows, depending on how the PC port does, maybe a sequel will be made.
“All is definitely not well in the world of Arkose. The islands are falling into chaos caused by ‘shadow madness,’ a plague of unknown origin and dire consequence,” reads an official pitch of the game. “Who can possibly help before it’s too late? The disease has no known cure and has no warning symptoms, making the result particularly fearsome. It turns its victims into hideous creatures that bear no resemblance to their former selves. You are the only chance that Arkose has. With intricate battle scenarios involving magic, six heroes to choose from, and many hours of engrossing gameplay, you can’t help but want to fight.”
