Born in the rich field of Resident Evil clones, Galerians offers an interesting cyberpunk take on survival horror, mainly focused on humanity's clash with technology, but especially on psychic powers and mysterious drug tests, heavily inspired by Akira.
The overall concept is definitely interesting and cleverly developed, with good design choices that integrate the use of different psychic powers in the form of resources to be managed in the optimal way: from this point of view, Galerians is a textbook survival horror that puts a good amount of pressure and also features some touches of uniqueness.
However, the execution is not excellent: the level design is rather generic and the writing appears rather mediocre at times, but making up for its flaws there is a great setting, a fairly insane soundtrack, an artistic direction with a good visual identity, and a rather short duration that allows the game to be enjoyed without its limitations weighing too heavily.
