Developed by Core Design and published by Eidos Interactive, Swagman arrived on the PlayStation in 1997 as an action-adventure game. It blends action-adventure and action elements.
It landed about 2 years into the PS1's life. Other notable PS1 releases from 1997 include Grand Theft Auto, Final Fantasy VII and Duke Nukem 3D.
Core Design also made Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider II and Tomb Raider III for the PS1.
Swagman is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
- you've played the PS1 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want a game you can finish in one short session
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Swagman is like
Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.
Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
