''[[The Unholy War]]'' must be one of the [[Needs More Love|most overlooked games]] for the [[PlayStation]] ever. It's a game that combines [[Fighting Game|fast-paced fighting]] and [[Turn-Based Strategy]] ([[Genre Busting|making it a game very difficult to categorize]] [[Audience-Alienating Premise|and find a market for]]), and was created by the same producers of ''[[Soul Reaver]]'' and ''[[Legacy of Kain]]''. Created in 1998, ''The Unholy War'' is a full-3D polygonal game, something that was quite new and experimental right then.▼

In fighting mode, the game is more akin to a [[Mascot Fighter]] (without the mascots), since the characters are free to move on the map and are not obligated to face each other the whole time <ref>think on [[Ehrgeiz]] for a game with a similar fighting mechanics</ref>. Strategy mode is a combination of ''[[Age of Empires]]'' (since you must extract resourses and create troops) and ''[[Mortal Kombat]]: Deception'''s "Chess Kombat" or ''[[Soul Series|Soulcalibur III]]'''s "Chronicles of the Sword", where the collision of pieces triggers a battle (in fighting mode) between them.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
The fights are made between sides (not between single characters, since they are all generic individuals from a species), and each species is [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors|strong against something, and weak against another thing]]. It's quite an original twist from the usual [[Fighting Game]] formula, since it's faction-centered and not character-centered. For tropes about each unit [[The Unholy War/Characters|see the characters' page]].
