It's been 10 years since I've played Einhänder, and it's still one of my favorite shooters of all-time along with R-Type Delta. The graphics are incredible for the PS1 era, and the music is top notch, thanks to the awesome composer Kenichiro Fukui. Square has done an exceptional job for making this well-polished shooter, and they're mainly known on making Action RPG games like the Final Fantasy series. I seriously would want to see an HD remake of Einhänder on the PS4/PS5.
Einhänder is a unique 2.5D shooter where you play as its namesake where you can steal the gunpods from enemies and use them to your advantage. You can pick up different kinds of gunpods such as simple, decently-powerful Cannons, chargable lightning railguns known as Riots, or guided missile launchers known as Wasps. The Wasp is a 127mm missile launcher that has two firing modes, and it can fire either powerful missiles that go straight ahead or missiles that home in at enemies including the ones that are either on the foreground and background.
This game is also one of the more challenging games on the PS1 because unlike other shoot'em up games, the weapons that are dropped from enemies have limited ammo, so the player has to use them accordingly. The default machine gun built-in the pilot is the only weapon that has unlimited ammo, and it's built inside the pilot. Also, Einhänder is one of the shooters where if the player dies, he/she will be sent back to the checkpoint, forcing the player to adapt in order to progress.
The graphics of this game is so remarkable for the time, and I would say that it's easily one of the best looking games on the PS1. Einhänder runs at 60 frames per second without much slowdown, and the detailed are impressive looking, even the smallest enemy aircrafts are carefully crafted with such detail. The background scenery is simply gorgeous, and the game is filled with countless levels of scrolling (until level 5), complete with colored lighting and effects. If this game could get a remake on the PS4/PS5, I could easily imagine that it would look incredibly stunning.

"Leave it to me, it's not dangerous"
*ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT*
I've read an alternate interpretation or two that said the last part was closer to "Don't interfere" or "Don't put yourself in danger," which would make more sense...
@@RRVCrinale That would make sense, yeah. And make you feel like quite the scumbag too...
"THIS IS A WARNING. UNLOAD YOUR WEAPONS IMMEDIATELY."
...okay. [/fires all weapons]
Threat Backfire, by TV Tropes
Lol 😁😁😁
@@gearhead2519 lol I love TV tropes
@@gearhead2519 Ah yes. They've got some interesting reads.
Einhander: Okay! **fires all weapons in Drache’s face**
“There was a time… in the era of great chaos, when the Earth and the Moon were at war with each other.” Glorious
I've been watching the few hard playthroughs I can find, this is by far the most aggressive with the most kills, also great use of a wide variety of weapons I haven't seen the hedgehog used that effectively before. Fantastic skills 👏
Thanks so much, Aaron! Hedgehog is actually a pretty strong weapon that can mow down enemies from top to bottom.
Yeah, i like this aggresive style
@@DawnHibiki thanks for the heart! 💙🤍
@@sebastianthomsen2225 No problem!
@@DawnHibiki :)👍
The very best playthrough on this game and I've watched many!
60fps
Great skill use with different gunpods
All Secrets
No Deaths
Aggressive style gameplay
Really great score
Really great stat summary
It has it all! You're a God at this game and yes I agree this game deserves an HD remake and a sequel! I love this game so much! Thanks for uploading! :)
Thank you so much for the comment!! I've played
this game many times, and I'm so looking forward
to see an HD remake of this incredible 2d shooter!
@@DawnHibiki You're welcome and oh nice! I hope Square remembers this game and expand on the universe of this game. It really is a rare gem!
wonderful play. Its a shame square didn't capitalize on this, its an amazing cinematic styled stg. Major respect for adding the translations too
Square Enix is unfortunately making stupid decisions, losing *billions of dollars,* and beating the Final Fantasy series like a dead horse. . .
Legit the second I noticed by stage 1 you already cashed out x16 -6- times, I kinda knew this was going to be a legendary run. If anything I'm only sad even with boss clears THAT fast, that just because you took an extra 2 seconds on Stage 5's boss, that's what made it A rank instead of perfect S ;w; But hot dang all Skill Points, and unlike many others who take stage 5 as a "Just clear it to live" for single segment vids, you just outright slam dunked on it. Really solid run overall, thanks for the upload!
No problem, & thank you! Stage 5's boss is pretty tough, though
I got an A rank mainly because I took long against the final boss.
One of the best looking and sounding games on the Playstation 1.
By far. Einhander looks incredible for a video game that was made in 1997-98.
The Riot was my favorite weapon. I often called it the "Lightning Gun".
I've watched a lot of playthroughs and this one is by far my favorite. The way you unload weapons is not only incredibly satisfying, but also how I pictured Einhander would actually fight in-universe. You use the more plentiful, conventional weapons (cannon, hedgehog, wasp) to absolutely wreck the enemies and bosses... the other playthroughs I've seen utilize more uncommon weapons while having to conserve their ammo. I love the idea that the more enemy armaments that get thrown at the Einhander, the worse of a disaster it becomes; you really exemplify that. What a great game!
26:28 vampyr says: I AM FREE! :D
This is one of the best hard mode playthroughs I have seen of Einhander. I'm particularly pleased to see the player utilize the Wasp to shoot down targets that are in the background. So many ignore that feature of the missile launcher. I wonder if someone will ever upload a playthrough using the Schwabe (police car.)
The Schabe plays like a traditional shmup ship, and it is by far the weakest of the ships.
The advantage though is that you don't have to worry about running out of ammunition.
You can play as the police car???
@@TripleSMoon Yes.
@@DawnHibiki wild, I never knew.
Also I just watched this run again from start to finish. Still kicks ass
@@TripleSMoon Thanks so much!
That was an impressive playthrough.
Also, at 49:38
Nice shout out to Kingdom Hearts III for adding the Einhander references. As well as having the Schwarzgeist as a secret boss in the Gummi Ship fight. And the Endymion as Gummi Ship. X3
Man, you're an absolute GOD at this game.
I loved it so much as a kid. Had a PS1 demo disc and played the demo for it over and over again until dad bought me the game. I never could beat it, but I loved it a lot. I always stalled out in stage 4. I did eventually beat it in my early 20s, but I had to use save states for the last stage. I need to go back and beat it legit sometime.
Thanks so much! Einhänder is a challenging game,
and it took me lots of retries on some of the stages.
The soundtrack to this game is unreal. Listen to it all the time when i game
It's one of the best video game soundtracks I've ever listened even to this day.
There's so much things to love about this game, and the music is one of them.
I first found out about Einhänder when I played a disc containing demos for upcoming games. I still have the disc to this day. While I would love to have a physical copy of the full game, I’m not going to fork over $300 for a disc. Instead, I discovered a free emulator of the game online. After years of waiting, I’ll finally be able to experience Einhänder like it was meant to be.
Wait wats the free emulator and how do I get it
Thank you for letting me relive this wonderful game. Serious skills here.
Thank you! Einhander needs to have a remaster some day.
My grandfather had the demo for this game at his house on his PlayStation, which I didn't have as a kid. I had a Sega at my house at the time, was lucky to be able to play Sonic and Sonic alone.
From age 6 to 9, every time I'd boot up a new game in his funny living room corner setup, little did I know I was experiencing some of the most unadulterated and purely happy moments I'd ever feel. I was very sheltered by Seventh Day Adventist Doomsday cultists, so when I did get exposed to something like this, it really left an impression. Something that wasn't purely demonizing mankind , or encouraging immediate preparation for the coming Advent, or ensuring we did what it took to get God's good side and be spared the fire and brimstone that'd rain down from heaven.
When I wasn't having my life wasted with that nonsense as a child, I was able to enjoy things like that Einhander demo for Gfather's PS1.
I greatly appreciate people like you with the skill to be able to showcase a game in its full glory for those of us without the time , patience, skill, and setup to do it first hand.
I may have never made it past the first stage as a kid, but I get immense satisfaction knowing others certainly did. And maybe someday, I'll set myself up with Einhander and see how it feels after all that time. Nice to have things to enjoy now, nice to have things to look forward to to enjoy later.
Thanks again:)
I still have this particular PS1 video game and it's also one of my most favorite games ever too!
Finally, subtitles for what they're saying in German
10:28 I remember hearing that song in GT 2000
I think i've reach only once begin of stage 6, long time ago. Impressive run, i've watched with pleasure.
Thanks so much, Luca!
Thank you for the subtitles
This sound effect in 2:01 was in my mind since 2007-8 i remember
I was searching for the game, but now so sure if the game was this, but when i listened this tiny sound effect, bang, it is it!
Thank you
Square made one shoot em' up during this era and it goes on to be as legendary as FF7. Old Squaresoft was genius.
BTW, excellent playthrough.
Farthest I've gotten was stage 5 on this game when I rented it over 2 decades ago... this game is definitely a classic. I just wish I had the soundtrack for this....
Holy shit dude I've never seen Einhander played at this level of skill. So many strategies I never even thought of
26:27 Dialogue Easter egg.
the pilot starts the engine again, gave us a hope to the sequel is coming!
Man your reading my mind! Playing all the same stg I have been going back to lately... Except your clearing them x_x
Bro this is a amazing gameplay
Thank you!
Superb skills, excellent gameplay!
Thanks so much!
Wow you're really good at this game @_@ :P
Thanks, G. Rogowski! :)
I remember this when it first came out, spent a lot of time trying to beat this, gorgeous skills btw, I subbed 😁😁😁
Thanks so much, Super Vega!
no need a hd remake we need Einhander 2
This game needs to have a remake.
For real!
Awesome playthrough! Wasn't so sure about that quantity of wasp at first at stage 3, but it was satisfying to see it! Nice work!
Thank you, Brian!
Cool Soundtrack!😎🔊
Understand: Your pilot was sent on a suicide mission solely to gather data for the AI planes.
And then the leaders tried to kill them by sending them on more suicide missions. Over and over and over again. And they FAILED.
Realizng that if this keeps going they're going end their little war economy, yoir leaders took matters into their own hands and thought that they could send the AI copying you in other planes to kill you. Except for one problem: You've never fought anything as good as you, so their robots can't do crap to you.
So they failed again. FOR AN ENTIRE MONTH.
You then wage a secret rebellion basically all on your own, go up to your previous commanders and unload all of your weapons in their face. And then, out of spite and anger at what they've done, turn on the entire armed forces of your moon.
AND THEY STILL FAILED TO KILL YOU. You fought a planet... And won. AND SURVIVED.
Your pilot is an utter chad here.
Yeah that’s Pretty damn accurate plus Also We could adapt while the AI wasn’t as fast as us to Adapting….. plus they couldn’t have fought anything like our EinHänder
Great summary.
I always thougt the first boss said :
"Es ist eine warnung - erwarten sie eine überraschung!"
which translates to "it's a warning - expect a surprise!"
Somehow it kinda works, I guess he must be very surprised himself by how fast he was destroyed.
(Admittedly I am not german, I only learned german at school)
I had no idea you could start shooting at the Stage 4 halfway boss before it even surfaced!
Yep, Hedgehog is the weapon that can decimate
the submarine downwards within several shots.
Muito bom Piloto!
54M +!!!
Best player of this game!
This os the only way I could experience this masterpiece :( only played demo
This brings back a lot of memories too bad this game doesnt have a sequel maybe its one of the hardest back then i remember playing this for 3 days just finish it haha! Hes really God on this game and i bet he unlocks the secret celene ship at the end finishing hard mode and no shot downs
Soy libre! XD.Nunca lo entendi, nunca lo pedi, no sabia que lo necesitaba
I'm glad I came across this walkthrough it's so impressive! Is this a requirement to unlock all gallery images? I want 100% this game one day
Pretty much. If you get high rankings after
beating the game, you can unlock the gallery.
I mean like all 100 images
@@goldeneye1689 Not sure how to unlock
all 100 images. I haven't played in awhile.
Fair enough, still great gameplay!
@@goldeneye1689 Thanks so much!
curti, muito bom .
Obrigado!
damn shame how short this game lasts
I'm scratching my head here bit because I didn't remember all the bosses as having "polizei" labels and blue armor - I remembered most of them having a military theme - from skimming some other longplays, I can see the original version. This game didn't appear to have a PAL release, so I'm trying to figure out if there was a repressing of the disc that came out later with some minor changes, they have done that before for other games.
*Edit* Looks like there were two "JP" releases, with the second one actually being a Hong Kong "Asia" version, but also in English I guess. Is that what you are playing here? SCPS-45125?
Oh I think i know why some bosses/enemies have different skins, it's because he's getting all special bonuses, one of them unlocks the secret path on the beggining, some makes special enemies spawn, sometimes they have of the few rare weapons (Juno, Mosquito, etc), and, one of the consequences are the boss skins, the final boss of stage 1 normally has a Beige/green camouflage, doing the special bonuses makes him appear with that Grey skin on the video.
Damn dawn you're a straight up g! I couldn't get passed the 3rd stage without my GameShark. You went atw beast mode on those bosses. Could you do a playthrough where you dismantle each destroyable part on every boss? For example if you blow off all the first mini bosses arms he brings out a flash like beam weapon out of his head and holds it with both hands if I remember correctly. Great skills and thank you.
BTW how can I play this game nowadays? I do not own a playstation so I doubt I can.
Thank you! You can play ePSXe which is the best PS1 emulator that
you can find. I've played this game on my hacked Playstation Classic.
@@DawnHibiki haha back in 99 - 03 I had a playstation that I could play copied games off. My mom bought us the ps and probably 75 games that were all burnt. Einhander was the only one I kept playing after playing every other one. Nightmare creatures was pretty cool but none captivated me like one handed! I used to try and build the bosses out of my kinex. On the boss that's rolling up the ramp otw to the giant rocket I always heard him say "I'll scalp uhm" lol eventually that ps shit the bed and by that time ps2 and Xbox were out. Still very very few games had had the magic of this one. Man a reboot on modern hardware would be amazing.
I would seriously love to see an HD Remake of Einhander on
the PS4 / PS5. I'd immediate buy it on the Playstation Store!
@@DawnHibiki I'd purchase a ps just for it!
@@DawnHibiki hey dawn can you do another playthrough where you destroy all destroyable parts on every boss? Like the aforementioned blue mini boss and his beam weapon? Also I want to see each of the arms that the train boss has and all the boss attacks. If you can I'd greatly appreciate it. I went to a pawn shop and saw a playstation 4 I'm thinking about buying it. But I want to know can I get a copy of the game on the playstation store? The game is super expensive on eBay like a 190 to $200.
You annilated the first boss! In just seconds.
They should remake this game
Definitely. This game is over 25 years old, and
it deserves to have a remake on the PS4 / PS5.
Die you coward? If I'm a coward then why did I come without backup
26:26 = cute lol, at least he got away alive I guess? X'D
I've tried to watch all the playthroughs....and I am trying to locate the OST here in Japan (used, of course).
There are few shooters better than this one.
The only shooter that would be better than this one is Hyperduel, but that one is rare as heck.
Man, to this day I still can't pass at stage 4.
Stage four is so brutal, there's so much crap going on!
For Stage 4, you can just hide underwater and the enemies won’t notice you
5:06 poor choice of words
5:05
Rando Not Thanos (Me): You should choose you words more carefully.
5:06
I wonder why they never did a ps2 version.
Better yet, why have they not done any versions of Einhander at all besides PS1.
I cheated and used the red Astrea Mk1 and two Flashes. LOL
Astraea FGA Mk.II w/2 Flashes is so overpowered.
You can hardly lose with that kind of combination.
Preview the world of the future with EINHANDER! an anthology musical film of an autistic pilot fighter who discovers an evil faction in Israel working with Chinese Communists, Adolf Hitler, Himmler, and the Nazis, to enslave the world via an army of mecha robots. After disabling the one belt, one road slave train, the pilot discovers a secret Israeli-Chinese deep underground base building an army of mecha-robots to take over the world. Note that all bosses are reoccurring leaders from the nazi party, most often Adolf Hitler and Himmler, who usually conveniently escape in escape pods and give motivation for the player to continue fighting enemies. The game ends in a peak experience fighting advanced mecha-robot space nazis who are the final boss, that randomly shifts into a Scarface ending theme replica, or fan-made theme for scarface or whatever, that was, however, somewhat enjoyable.
It's perfect. Phuck yeah.
hey where do i download the game?
You would have to either buy it or go find the rom.
Sorry, I can't tell you where to find the rom though.
@@DawnHibiki ok thanks ^^
i could tell you but...
