The Teknos crash land on Xsarra and decide to conquer the planet in this unholy war of flesh vs. metal.
The Teknos are cybernetic conquerors who want the resources of Xsarra for themselves.
The Arcanes have coexisted peacefully for thousands of years but now band together to destroy the machine invaders.
Each side is compromised of seven different types of warriors for a total of 14 playable warriors.
Each warrior has three separate types of moves or attacks that can be performed against their opponent.
Each warrior also has a strategy skill that can be used when playing that mode of gameplay.
There are two types of gameplay, Mayhem mode and Strategy Mode.
Mayhem mode consists of choosing seven warriors and facing off against seven opposing warriors controlled by the computer or another player.
Action is fast, furious, and different each time depending on one of the several "terrains" that can be chosen to fight the battles within.
Random power-ups also appear to help which ever warrior can get to them first.
All the warriors and environments are rendered in full 3D with the camera centering on the middle point above the two warriors.
The warriors dance around each other, hurling their attacks and avoiding traps.
Strategy Mode consists of a three-dimensional map where the player moves his warriors across it with the ultimate goal to destroy the opposing warriors or destroy their fortresses.
When two warriors meet on the map, gameplay switches to Mayhem mode and the two warriors fight to the death with the winning one returning to the map to fight another day.

Warriors in strategy mode can perform two types of actions.
These include moving, attacking, or using their special power.

About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks The Unholy War for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding The Unholy War to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1998.
