''[[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. |

The story of the game is about two alien factions [[Fantastic Racism|who hate each other to death]], and of course, [[Captain Obvious|are in war]]. One is called Arcane and the other Teknos, the former being the [[Magical Native American|natives and very fantasy-like creatures]], and the latter being [[Mechanical Lifeforms|high-tech]] [[Ridiculously-Human Robots|humanoids]]. The Teknos are trying to exploit the resources of the planets and, of course, the Arcane are not happy about it... [[Avatar (film)|one decade later, that sounds somehow familiar]]. |
