Sanvein

Schutz, has gone haywire.

The goal of the game is to escape from Utopia.

The game plays very differently from a normal space shooter.

Each "floor" is made up of a series of interconnected rooms, and the player can choose any room adjacent to one they've cleared.

For each adjacent room the player has cleared, their firepower in that room will be greater.

Each floor has a number of boss rooms with a much larger and more dangerous enemy, each of which must be cleared to complete the floor.

There is also a stronger power weapon which will recharge after use.

All the while, a strict timer is counting down.

When the player gets hit, instead of dying or taking damage, they lose time on the timer.

The only way to get more time is to defeat a boss, so the player must balance between clearing rooms for greater firepower, and clearing bosses for more time.

The game has a unique glitch-futuristic art style and five floors to play through.

There are three ships and three weaponry systems to choose from.

Sanvein for PlayStation is currently worth €10.55 loose, €5.91 complete in box, and €21.96 factory sealed. Prices are based on real sales and update regularly on Gamevaro.

Sanvein has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning it trades hands regularly and isn't considered particularly rare.

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Sanvein, loose is €10.55 and CIB is €5.91 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.

The PAL version of Sanvein is currently worth €10.55 loose, versus €8.69 for NTSC-U. Regional price differences usually come down to print run size and regional collector demand.
