Surveillance Kanshisha

About

You take control of a Shadow Sword operative in the 2050s tasked with stopping a group of anti-UN terrorists targeting Earth-Mars travel. The game focuses on using a network of surveillance tech to track down enemies. Players navigate a sci-fi setting where the UN’s grip on space exploration is under threat. Gameplay mixes strategic planning with direct action as you monitor and intercept terrorist activities from a command center. The game’s biggest hook is its surveillance-driven gameplay letting you piece together clues through camera feeds and data. Production I.G. handled the animation giving it a polished look for its time. Though it’s a niche title from 2002 it remains a curious example of early 2000s sci-fi strategy on the PlayStation 2.
