Einhander | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) | comment |
A PlayStation 1 side-scrolling Shoot 'Em Up from SquareSoft. The player takes the role of an anonymous fighter pilot sent by the moon nation Selene to fight its war against Earth's forces, raiding its only city (called Sodom in the Japanese version). Initially armed with nothing but a weak machine gun, the fighter can nevertheless grab weapons called gunpods from enemies, including plain old cannons and missile launchers as well as a lightning gun and energy sword. What follows is a single small fighter cutting a huge swath through huge installations defended by endless numbers of aircraft and turrets.Most likely, you have heard of this game because of how dissonant the game is compared to other series made by SquareSoft, since this is a rare case of SquareSoft doing something other than the RPG genre.The composer (Kenichiro Fukui) for the game would later go on to compose songs in Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children, produce the theme song for Final Fantasy XII, and play as the keyboardist in The Black Mages, so you might have heard of this style before. The soundtrack from the game combines several genres (ranging from Techno to Rock) in unique ways that would be comparable to the likes of Yuki Kajiura. The most notable song from the game is "Shudder" (which would be the other reason you are here), which combines Fast Rap, Techno, Rock, and other genres all for the first few bosses in the game.Surprisingly, Einhander itself appears in World of Final Fantasy as a mirage, and a monster with its name and primary gimmick appear as a boss in Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. It also has cameos in Kingdom Hearts III as a custom Gummi ship as well as Schwarzegeist (and Monitor) being a Gummi Ship bonus boss. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: The only real indication to explain why the Earth forces speak German (otherwise, one could easily assume they only speak German in that part of the world), and where the capital city is located is because the instruction manual barely mentions that the city was built over the ruins of an autobahn. It also mentions briefly that Germany (or what's left of it) set up a One World Order after the bombs fell, while the defeated eventually became Selene. | |

Heavily Armored Mook | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_1d364dbd | comment |
Heavily Armored Mook: The enemy in stage 2 called "Star" (Starling in German) returns as a tougher-to-beat armored version in stage 5 called "Panzerstar" (Armoured Starling). Exaggerated with the Sturmvogel, which is also named after a bird ("thunderbird", literally). The boss not only looks like a large, scaled up Star unit with additional armaments, it actually has a Mecha Expansion Pack armor which is the real target. | |

Not the Intended Use: Your ship's exhaust and manipulator arm are meant to be supportive abilities, yet clever and skilled players can also use them to damage enemies and block shots. More often than not, they're even stronger than your gunpods. | |

Crapsack World | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_21d70919 | comment |
Crapsack World: Almost all of Earth has been reduced to wasteland due to World War III, and Selene isn't doing too well either due to running out of resources that are only available on Earth. The only "civilized" places you see are Sodom and the large underground base/power plant leading to Stratagem's mass driver. And the city doesn't fare too well: there's a long shot during Stage 1 of an holographic ad for gas masks, complete with a creepy electronic laugh. | |

| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_222caacc | comment |
Balance, Power, Skill, Gimmick: The Einhander ships: Astraea Mk.I is Power, being able to use two gunpods at the same time, allowing players to lay down the hurt. Endymion Mk.II is Balance, being able to carry three different gunpods for added versatility. Endymion Mk.III is Skill, carrying only one gunpod but compensating with a double standard machinegun, where carefully choosing a gunpod will either help or hamper you. Schabe is Gimmick, gaining more and more firepower the more gunpods you collect. | |

Palette Swap | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_2557e3a9 | comment |
Palette Swap: The first boss, Drache, has two versions. The one you go up against depends on whether you unlock the secret bonus while fighting the Greif — he's normally green, but is blue if you got the secret bonus. By the way, the blue version can randomly spawn a Juno, a very powerful big brother variant of the Vulcan. | |

Awesome, but Impractical | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_2bdae2ae | comment |
Awesome, but Impractical: The Mosquito gun pod, a Player-Guided Missile, sounds cool until you find out that the missile is guided by the fighter's movement. The Python, although one of the most damaging weapons in the game, is shot out in a string of shots somewhat randomly controlled in opposition to the player's motion. As such, it is quite difficult to damage the enemy with it. The Flash, which shoots a cool-looking purple beam that slices through everything (bypassing armor and still going after that) but the ammo is ridiculously rare AND limited in amount. Unless you unlock the secret ship that always comes with 9999 ammo with any gunpod. | |

Ax-Crazy: The ape Mini-Boss of Stage 5, Ausf. A Gestell, attacks you like a deranged monkey: it frequently tries to swat the player's ship, and if knocked down, throws a crate at the player (similar to a certain ape). Befittingly enough, the background music when you fight it is called "Madness". | |

After the End | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_334e48a1 | comment |
After the End: The events of the game take place years after the great war; there's nothing on Earth but wasteland outside the Cyberpunk city. Gloriously showcased by taking the alternate route at Level 1. You descend through what seems to be a giant cavern underneath Gesetz' Megapolis. The scenery shifts from the bright, Blade Runner-esque city to a dark landscape littered by broken skyscrapers, presumably berserk automatons, and at one point, a presumably unexploded inter-planetary ballistic missile. | |

| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_36249acd | comment |
Lethal Joke Character: Schabe, the other secret fighter, has nothing but a machine gun, but picking up gun pods will upgrade it as well as it's current gunpod. While the Schabe might seem weaker compared to the basic Einhanders (e.g. it does not have any defenses whatsoever), it gains a different secondary fire as different gunpods are collected to level it up. At level 20, not only Schabe has four default machine guns, but if happens to pick up a Wasp or Mosquito gunpod... hoo boy, it gains INFINITE HOMING SHOTS OF DOOM! | |

Sequential Boss | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_363e9631 | comment |
Sequential Boss: After Drache's "head" is destroyed, it then raises up, walking backwards and attacking with its actual weaskpot. Once Gecko takes enough damage to blow off its gun attachments, it changes its attack pattern. Salamander initially attacks the player from the water, but once it takes enough damage, it will emerge from the water while hanging onto the bars above. Once Sturmvogel suffers enough damage, it calls in a Mecha Expansion Pack armor attachment to provide extra firepower. Ausf D Duerer begins to use its diverging stream laser once both its arm weapons have been shot off. If beaten in a certain way, Schwarzgeist sends out the Monitor which you will have to fight as well. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: The Spreader can fall into this. Like the grenade, it is one of the two weapons that can shoot backwards; they are the only two weapons that can effectively fight the Stage 3 Boss, Gustaff, who is prone to try shooting you from behind. Just like the Cannon, getting real close to the enemy can result in some terrifying rates of fire. Even better, nearly the entirety of Stage 4 includes massive amounts of mooks and later, tight corridors, a role that a spread-shot weapon is really suited for. The Grenade gunpod. It does the most damage-per-shot out of all the weapons in the game, but it has an arcing projectile that makes it slightly more difficult to land accurate shots with. Due to its low ammo, it's better used on bosses and mini-bosses anyway, and so accuracy is much less important. It can also fire backwards just like the Spreader, which is real handy to fight the aforementioned Gustaff. Your humble Vulcan. Widely available and can reliably destroy your standard mooks. Combined with the Endymion Mk. III's double standard guns, it can do some serious damage over time. | |

The Enemy Weapons Are Better | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_3b856be9 | comment |
The Enemy Weapons Are Better: All player ships are equipped with a default machine gun that just does chip damage if you run out of any other weapons. Most of the weapon Gunpods you can obtain in the game are all from Earth Forces including the powerful Flash and Grenade, although you can start out provided with said weapons once you manage to find them. Subverted, technically, as it turns out the EOS forces use the same gunpods. In addition, the secret ship Schabe varies: it only has a machine gun but it gets more powerful as gunpods are absorbed, and depending on the enemy pattern or boss, it's either very good or very poor. | |

Bittersweet Ending: The Einhander pilot succeeds in ending the Forever War by virtue of wiping out the majority of both sides' militaries. However, both Earth and Selene promptly erase all mentions of the protagonist from the record, with only those who fought and survived the conflict knowing the truth. | |

It's a Wonderful Failure | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_45e41b66 | comment |
It's a Wonderful Failure: If you lose the battle against the Stratagem Spacecraft in Stage 6 by running out of time, your fighter starts to power down and you fall to the Earth, as a swarm of police fighters are heard opening fire on your ship. And after hearing a brief narration from your pilot, you get a creepy Non-Standard Game Over screen with a shot of a pilot's helmet laying on the ground cracked◊, while this depressing music plays. | |

Long Song, Short Scene: Invoked with the Stage 6 song "Impatience"; it runs around 3 minutes, but any sufficiently skilled player can get to the Schwarzgeist boss fight before it ends.

Taking the alternate route by destroying Greif's floater unit can award you with a second Riot gunpod.

Meaningful Name | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_6bda9a30 | comment |
Meaningful Name: Most of the bosses and sub-bosses are named after fantastic and real animals: Greif (German for Griffin), has the top half of a robot and the lower half of a hover ship, not unlike the griffin being half a lion and half an eagle. Drache (German for dragon) looks like a dragon without arms or wings... until its claw-like "head and neck" is destroyed. Garnele (Shrimp), is best described as a cross between a shrimp/prawn/lobster and a hoverbike. Spinne (Spider) a train with four "arms" that carry a flamethrower, a vulcan cannon, a homing missile launcher and a drone dispenser. The other four "legs" are its train treads. Gecko is a Spider Tank that crawls on the walls and ceiling, true to its name. Salamander is an amphibious submarine that attacks you from the water and later on climbs out as a last-ditch attempt to destroy the player. Sturmvogel (Stormbird/Thunderbird) looks vaguely like a mechanical bird. Alternatively, it looks like a large version of a robot Mook known as "Starling" in German. Schwarzgeist (Black Ghost) is a strange, eerie-looking satellite-like robot that has a wide, flat top, and long extensions that droop below it, making a shape that somewhat resembles a Bedsheet Ghost. And it's black. Your ship, nicknamed Einhander (one-handed sword)by the German-speaking Gesetz, has a single arm-like extension that can equip different gunpods. The shape of the ship itself vaguely suggests a hand, with the turbines, wings, and the manipulator arm being the fingers. Both the cover of the game and the intro narration refferences this. Selene takes an awful lot of names from Greek mythology: Their name itself comes from the Greek goddess of the moon. Astraea was the goddess of innocence and purity who fled to the stars after witnessing Man's wickedness. Endymion was a human shepherd or astronomer who, after Selene above fell for him was plunged into an eternal sleep by Zeus so he'll never die. Eos, the fleet of A.I. fighters coming to rescue you but not really is named after the goddess of dawn. Hyperion, your command satellite and Final Boss is named after the Titan that fathered Selene and Eos above. | |

Mook Maker: The military train cars in the second stage spawn lots of small shooting drones and attack vehicles. Its locomotive part, Spinne, has a dedicated arm to launch small fighter jets at you. Your welcoming committee to Stage 4's underground Naval Warfare Research and Supply Facility are waves upon waves of fighter aircraft. Later, you come across a submersible carrier that is responsible for launching said fighters. The Strategem Spacecraft has the ability to spawn flying mooks which you can kill enough of for a Special Bonus. | |

HeadshotsKillRobots | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_6f6221fb | comment |
Headshots Kill Robots: Played straight almost all the time — opponents have a glowing green spot that happens to be the weak-armoured cockpit, and that spot is usually the head. Destroying it will destroy the Mook/Miniboss/Boss. But it's not universal; in the case of Gecko, the weak spot is the bottom; for Schwarzgeist, it's the middle section. The Sturmvogel's weakpoint, meanwhile, is not the "head" of the Boss, it's the armor that combines with it. | |

Kaizo Trap | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_75f38750 | comment |
Kaizo Trap: Greif, the Stage 1 miniboss, will still take potshots at you if it's beaten by destroying it's hover part. He even tries it once while offscreen. The submarine that appears before the Mini-Boss in Stage 4. If you "defeat" it the conventional way by destroying the body, its cockpit will detatch from its body, and fire out a very deadly spray of rapid shots. Salamander, the Miniboss of Stage 4 itself. When defeated, it will flail its arms about like a drowning guy... and these can still collide with and kill you. Sturmvogel and Ausf D Durer, the Stage 4 and 5 bosses, have one of their attacks consisting of a rain of projectiles (arcing energy balls for the former, missiles for the later) with the last shot delayed by several seconds compared to the other. The former at least gives you a hint about it while firing as one of its projectiles has a much wider arc. Successfully defeating Schwarzgeist will award you with the mission clear screen. Destroy it a certain way, however, and you get treated with a full blown midboss called Monitor. While Monitor is weak, it is fast and throws you quite the bullet curtain. Naturally, losing to it means you have to destroy the whole boss again. | |

2½D | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_779128c0 | comment |
2½D: As mentioned below, one of your weapons can fire into the fore- or background, as well as enemies sometimes appearing from said locations. The game makes this clear in no uncertain terms in the opening mook force, which appears in the foreground, before spinning around and entering your 2d plane. Interestingly, the camera also spins back and forth in various angles relative to your craft, even as you stay in the same plane (so that you are looking from a rear 3/4ths view at one moment, and then from below and to the side in another moment. Several boss battles even have the camera pan before the boss uses some attack or another, not to mention many points in the levels themselves. You even get a short first person view point just before the first boss, but only if you didn't get Secret Bonus 3. | |

Hover Mecha: The first miniboss Greif is a robot with a hovership instead of legs. It's named after Griffin in German, oddly fitting since a griffin is half lion and half eagle. | |

Attack Its Weak Point: Most of the minibosses and bosses can be defeated quickly if you know where to shoot them in. The same applies to larger enemies that can be defeated by shooting them in their engines and such. | |

One-Hit-Point Wonder | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_8df14c99 | comment |
One-Hit-Point Wonder: Get hit by anything, you will explode. Oddly, the walls and floor will not kill you. Not instantly, that is... Your gunpods can absorb a limited amount of damage for you before they are destroyed. If you are skilled and/or lucky enough, you can even use the bare manipulator arm to block attacks, and the arm itself is indestructible. This is reflected by the color of the equipped gunpod's background. Green means it has a healthy amount of HP. Yellow means it is damaged. Red means it is about to break, and the weapon itself should blink red. Acquiring the same gunpod will restore its life immediately. The Schwarzgeist fires a large burst of missiles at you. If your arm is empty, you can go into the top left corner, hold up and left, and block all 20-odd missiles which will hit the arm and explode but not do any actual damage do you. | |

Suspicious Videogame Generosity: Not only some stretches before boss fights generously provide you with gunpods, but even if you die, the game will always provide you with some sort of gunpod-carrying mooks. Of course, these mooks can and do kill players regularly. Exaggerated again in the Stage 7 before the final boss, where every enemy carries two gunpods at once. | |

Difficult, but Awesome | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_9b9397bb | comment |
Difficult, but Awesome: Some of the weapons are this: The Hedgehog gunpod. It's a bomb/airburst depth charge launcher that only shoots up or down. There are those select times where you are either pinned to one side of the screen or can abuse a Boss's weak point, which are often directly on top of it. This gunpod is made just for that occasion. Also, it has plenty of ammo and can rapid fire its depth charges, making for a curtain of long-lasting wide explosions for your enemies to run into. The same goes for the Blade, which is essentially a lightsaber for your ship - obviously, it has VERY limited range, but a very skilled player can turn it into Hell for standard enemies and boss parts. Try performing the Shoryuken motion (forward, down, forward) motion and the Blade will extend itself to the whole length of the screen, and waving it around by pressing the arm position change button on the Endymion models will make it slice and dice enemies. Strangely enough, the most powerful weapons at your disposal appear to be your ship's engines (fired behind you when you change the speed of the fighter) and the manipulator arm you use to pick up weapons. | |

Suicide Mission: The Astraea/Endymion are on kamikaze missions to basically damage the forces of the Earth as much as possible before dying — which makes sense when you think about it.

Rewarding Vandalism | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_a7372109 | comment |
Rewarding Vandalism: Aside from enemy Mooks, there are some containers that hold gun pods inside. You also get Tech Points added to your score by destroying the environment, such as the neon signs in the first level, or causing a nuclear meltdown by shooting some support struts located above a reactor and letting gravity do the rest. Certain special weapons can be acquired by destroying certain parts of the enemy. Part of the fun in playing the game is seeing just how far you can strip the bosses naked. The Ausf A Gestell has about 20-some separate weapon and armor points you can remove before you destroy it or run out of time and move on. It just looks like a bare-bones frame when you're done. You can acquire the Flash gunpod if you allow it to kick enough boxes at you in the process. Destroying all the signs near the end of the first level will allow you to net an early Riot pickup, which is useful for beating Greif in just the right way to get the alternate path. | |

Outrun the Fireball | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_c12f0c4 | comment |
Outrun the Fireball: If you get Secret Point 3 during Stage 4 (causing one of the flying enemies to crash on the nuclear reactor below, causing it to go haywire), you end up going up a tunnel with the explosion just behind you. Then right before the boss, the entire thing goes up and you begin the boss fight exiting a giant pillar of fire. Badass. There's also a rewarding detail: if you fight the regular form of Sturmvogel, it's paint job is shiny smooth. If you unlock Secret Point 3, the boss's body will be burnt and (cosmetically) damaged. | |

It's Up to You: Subverted. While the intro animation only shows a single fighter, Selene actually sent a team of fighters. You can assume that they're off doing their own thing while you do yours.

Developer's Foresight | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_d24ed873 | comment |
Developer's Foresight: Half the replay value is finding out all the secrets the game offers, but mostly, it's finding what attack patterns the bosses don't have. There are repertoires for just about any conceivable scenarios, including loss of specific weapons and armor, as well as movement/location. For example Gecko, Stage 3's mid-boss, will fire airburst depth charges to ward you off if you try to outsmart it by taking refuge directly above it. Even better, nearly each boss can be "time-outed", and some bosses have a unique Villain: Exit, Stage Left animation. For example, the Stage 5 Humongous Mecha boss Ausf. D Dürer will go to the background and fire a flashbang grenade, before literally jumping off the boss fight stage. There is a boss that can only be fought if you destroy a specific part of the penultimate boss. The game has a special soundtrack just for that case. | |

Spread Shot | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_d3c2c6b2 | comment |
Spread Shot: The Spreader gunpod fires a burst of 5 shots in a spread pattern. The accumulated damage on single targets is capped at 3 shots, so hitting an enemy with all 5 shots does the same damage as 3 shots hitting. Because its firing rate is only limited to One Bullet at a Time, however, and its gunpods are quite common, there is nothing quite as deadly as the player unleashing a rapid-fire torrent of Spreader shots on single targets at point-blank range. | |

When Einhander storms their launchpad and reinforcments are on their way to help them, Gesetz rushes the launch while Ausf D Durer buys some time. When the launch is successful but Einhander manages to blow off Stratagem's rocket boosters, the rocket uses it's momentum to align itself and fire Schwarzgeist in low orbit. Then, if you destroy the correct part of Schwarzgeistnote The tiny circular part popping out it's top before destroying it, Schwarzgeist launches Monitor as a last ditch effort. | |

Simple, yet Awesome | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_ea480f92 | comment |
Simple, yet Awesome: The Cannon gunpod. It's the most simplistic gunpod compared to the more flashy stuff, firing a single powerful shot forwards as the most basic of attacks. It's also got a pretty solid firing rate, ammo is plentiful, and its damage is pretty good. As long as the bullet has disappeared from the screen, you can fire another round. This can lead to some terrifyingly high rates of continuous fire if you get up and close to the enemy. Even better, the Cannon pierces through lesser enemies, and a particular section in Stage 2 has mooks lining up, as if begging to be shot by the Cannon. | |

Most of the bosses and sub-bosses are named after fantastic and real animals: Greif (German for Griffin), has the top half of a robot and the lower half of a hover ship, not unlike the griffin being half a lion and half an eagle. Drache (German for dragon) looks like a dragon without arms or wings... until its claw-like "head and neck" is destroyed. Garnele (Shrimp), is best described as a cross between a shrimp/prawn/lobster and a hoverbike. Spinne (Spider) a train with four "arms" that carry a flamethrower, a vulcan cannon, a homing missile launcher and a drone dispenser. The other four "legs" are its train treads. Gecko is a Spider Tank that crawls on the walls and ceiling, true to its name. Salamander is an amphibious submarine that attacks you from the water and later on climbs out as a last-ditch attempt to destroy the player. Sturmvogel (Stormbird/Thunderbird) looks vaguely like a mechanical bird. Alternatively, it looks like a large version of a robot Mook known as "Starling" in German. Schwarzgeist (Black Ghost) is a strange, eerie-looking satellite-like robot that has a wide, flat top, and long extensions that droop below it, making a shape that somewhat resembles a Bedsheet Ghost. And it's black. | |

Dark Reprise: The track "Conflict" is a dark reprise of "Dawn". Dawn is a fast-tempo, somewhat hectic techno piece that picks up quickly as you assault the enemy's launch base while mooks swarm you. Conflict instead starts in a calm, almost ambient trance, before Dawn's leitmotif plays. Slowly, the tempo picks up to be the same, and later, even faster than Dawn. Notably, the stretch where Conflict plays has the game's most crowded screen-filling throngs of enemies. | |

Boss Warning Siren | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_f763003b | comment |
Boss Warning Siren: The game gives a warning that is themed into the level. For example, in the first level, after fighting your way through the city, the police decide that they can't take you down, so they follow behind you like a low speed chase, keeping their sirens going while they basically escort you right towards the first boss. Following bosses might have klaxons sounding off to indicate that the boss is powering up and becoming mechanically operational, or have someone over a PA system order for another boss to scramble and prepare for battle. | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: With the right weapons and timing, you can keep shooting off Ausf A. Gestell's parts until it becomes crippled from losing its arms or feet. The attack where it throws a crate at you gets reduced to it pathetically kicking it at you if you remove one hand. | |

You Have No Chance to Survive | |

You Have No Chance to Survive: At the very last stage, Hyperion transmits one message for the protagonist ordering them to stand down. It's the only boss taunt throughout the entire game that's in English: | |

Forever War | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_fbb54ba6 | comment |
Forever War: Neither Earth or Selene want an end to the conflict. It's like a page from Nineteen Eighty-Four: the perpetual war is what allows leadership of both nations to remain in power and maintain the status quo. This the reason why Selene wants no survivors from their suicide missions to return home (they know the Earth isn't a paradise at all) and why, even after the conflict actually ends, the Einhander's actions are erased from history. | |

Cores-and-Turrets Boss | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_fd206d08 | comment |
Cores-and-Turrets Boss: Not a boss, but the turret train cars in Stage 2 qualify. To beat them, destroy their control towers and ignore the turrets. However, you can get two secret bonuses if you shoot down enough turrets before destroying the control tower. | |

Theme Naming | |
| Einhänder (Video Game) / int_fd94c4ac | comment |
Theme Naming: Almost all of the Mooks (including bosses) are named in German. In particular, some of them are named after World War 2 tank naming convention in German. An example would be Stage 5's miniboss and boss, SPKB-06 Ausführung A "Gestell" and SPKB-07 Ausführung D "Dürer", and Stage 3's boss, "PR-01 Gustav". Following the tank theme naming above, the rest of the Earth Federation's units are named after animals... in German. In sharp contrast, Selene's forces are named after figures and deities in Greco-Roman mythology. | |

Shown Their Work: The player is operating in the heart of enemy territory and military communication often sounds terse compared to common speaking. The point is to relay precise information as quickly and in few words as possible to avoid enemy detection or jamming. Due to the repeated use of the words "telegram" and "satellite", the info is being sent in short bursts for the same reason... just like Real Life military teletype communications. | |
