Silhouette Mirage

Silhouette Mirage

Released1997
Silhouette Mirage is a side-scrolling action game. The basic gameplay is somewhat similar to that of Gunstar Heroes. The game's standout feature is the concept of the two attributes. Depending on the enemy's attributes and the type of attack used by Shyna, damage can be increased, and spirit (equivalent to magic power) can be absorbed from enemies. Shyna can dash, jump, crouch, slide, and grab enemies, executing combo attacks. It is also possible to master moves, acquire money, and purchase special creatures called "parasites", which teach Shyna various types of attacks.

About This Game

Following genetic experiments at the turn of the millennium, a biological explosion split Earth's population into two opposing types: Silhouette and Mirage. A failsafe system called Edo was created in case this ever happened—designed to restore balance if a Messenger carrying both attributes could reach it. That Messenger is Shyna Nera Shyna, a young woman with partial amnesia who does not know where Edo is. What she quickly discovers is that both the Silhouettes and the Mirages have agreed on one thing: Shyna must be eliminated before she can reach it.
