Galerians: Ash is a video game that was developed by Polygon Magic, Inc. and was then published by Enterbrain, Inc.
The game was launched exclusively on the PlayStation 2 home gaming console from Sony.
It was released during the month of April 2002.
The title can be classed as being an action adventure experience that it being played from a first- and a third-person perspective and incorporates elements from the survival horror and science fiction genres.
The game is a sequel and the story is directly linked to that of the first game.
It takes place 500 years in the future as the lives of all humans are controlled by a very intelligent computer named Dorothy, who decides that humans are imperfect and plans to create her own minions, the Galerians.
The hero of the game is Rion, the man who destroyed Dorothy in the first game, and he must now fight her creations as they try and wipe out humanity.
The game uses the same template as the Resident Evil titles, with the hero able to move and take out enemies but rather slowly, with the player needing to pay constant attention to his hit points and to the items he can use to sustain himself.
