The Crow: City of Angels

Overview

The Crow: City of Angels is a 3D horror beat-'em-up developed by Gray Matter and published by Acclaim for the Sony PlayStation and PC on February 28, 1997, with a Sega Saturn version released on March 12, 1997.

Based on the 1996 movie of the same name (itself loosely based on The Crow comic book series and original film), City of Angels plays like Gray Matter's earlier brawler Perfect Weapon, which utilizes mechanics made famous by Resident Evil (including "tank" controls and pre-rendered 3D backgrounds with a jarring fixed camera perspective).

Players control mechanic Ashe Corven as he uses his supernatural powers (due to his resurrection by a crow) to take revenge on a gang for murdering him and his son.
