Conquest (1996) May 2026

Here’s a post for — the obscure but fascinating survival horror game for the PlayStation (also on MS-DOS), developed by Cyberlife Ltd. and published by SCEE. 🎮 Game: Conquest (1996) 🕹️ Platforms: PS1, MS-DOS 📀 Genre: Survival Horror / Action-Adventure

"Before Resident Evil became the gold standard, there was Conquest — a bizarre, forgotten PS1 horror gem that tried to blend sci-fi, tank controls, and a struggling soldier’s fight against an alien infestation." 🧬🔫 You play as a lone commando on a spaceship overrun by hostile bio-weapons. Limited ammo, save points that matter, clunky 3D polygonal enemies, and a grim atmosphere. It’s janky, tough, and oddly ambitious. Why remember it? ✅ Full 3D environments (rare for '96 horror) ✅ Real-time weapon switching ✅ No hand-holding — you explore or die ❌ Awkward controls (even by PS1 standards) ❌ Brutal difficulty spikes ❌ Almost no story compared to Resident Evil A cult oddity for survival horror archivists and fans of Martian Gothic: Unification . Not for everyone, but if you love digging through the PlayStation’s weird, rough-edged library — Conquest awaits. 🧟‍♂️ Have you played this? Or are you one of the few who still own the longbox jewel case? conquest (1996)
