If you grew up playing Star Fox, there’s a good chance you completely missed Vanark on the PlayStation.
Released in the late ‘90s, Vanark is an on-rails space shooter that feels very similar to the Star Fox formula — fast-paced combat, cinematic boss fights, and missions that push you to learn patterns and improve your runs.
But what makes it stand out is its presentation. The game leans heavily into that classic PS1-era anime sci-fi style, with fully voiced cutscenes, over-the-top characters, and a story that feels way more dramatic than you’d expect from a game like this.
It’s not as polished as Star Fox, but it offers a different flavor of that same experience — one that a lot of PlayStation players never even knew existed.
Vanark is one of those hidden gems that slipped through the cracks, but if you’re into retro shooters or grew up with Star Fox, it’s absolutely worth checking out.
