Deep Freeze (ディープフリーズ, Dīpufurīzu) is a 1999 Japanese video game released for the Sony PlayStation. It is a three-dimensional action-adventure game that was developed by Talon Inc. and published by Sammy. The story focuses on a counter-terrorist unit known as INTER-ANTS (International Anti-terrorist Service).[1]
The game is set in 2001, when a terrorist organization known as Hephaestus has risen, with the aforementioned INTER-ANTS being formed as a response to combat them.[2]
Deep Freeze is an action adventure game.[3] All the characters act in teams.[4] At the beginning of each mission, players can pick one of five characters who will play as a partner and provide cover fire.[1][5] This computer-controlled partner can be controlled through simple commands.[1]
The game features many weapons the player can choose from the start, including a shotgun, Uzi submachine gun, and magnum handgun.[4] Players can also collect grenades in the game, which can flush out enemies hidden behind obstacles such as barrels.[6] The player can also perform rolls, which allows them to dodge bullets from enemies.[6]
Despite being released in Japan only, the game features English voice acting.[1] However, all the menus in the game are in Japanese.[4]
The game uses pre-rendered backgrounds and camera switching[4][1] in a similar fashion to the game Resident Evil.
Release
The game was shown at the 2000 Tokyo Games Show gaming convention in Japan.[7] The publisher, Sammy, was more well known at the time for developing pachinko games.[1]
Deep Freeze was released on January 14, 1999, for the Sony PlayStation home console, and was published by Sammy.[8] The game was re-released on July 19, 2000, in the SuperLite 1500 budget line of games.[5] The game has never been released outside of Japan, nor has it ever been released on the PlayStation Network game archives either.
