It covers the major battles from the entire Evangelion saga and features original footage from the anime.
In Story Mode the player takes control of bio-mechanical mechas called Evas to fight against monstrous beings called Angels.
To see every mission through, combo attacks (punches and kicks), blocking and grappling techniques are available at the pilot's disposal.
Depending on the damage the player's Eva takes and if certain parameters are met during that time the player will be given a time limit in which they must end the battle with the Angel.
The Simulation Mode almost plays like a shooter.
It’s a 1st-person perspective mode where the player must eliminate as many Angels as possible within the time limit.
When the time limit ends a rank is assigned depending on how many enemies were destroyed and how many bullets were used.
About Sega Saturn
The Sega Saturn (1994/1995) struggled commercially against the PlayStation despite strong 2D capabilities and a library beloved by shoot-'em-up and RPG fans. Its relatively low sales translated directly into low print runs for many games, making the Saturn one of the more expensive retro platforms to collect completely — several titles now sell for hundreds of euros in good condition.
Gamevaro tracks Neon Genesis Evangelion [First Release] for Sega Saturn 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.

Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
