Overview
Perihelion is a cyberpunk role-playing game with a first-person view; the game was created by Morbid Visions released by Psygnosis in 1993. The combat is turn-based with computer hacking elements. While it has first-person dungeon crawling aspects of early D&D games, the scenes and locations change. Battle locations are pre-set and laid out in a separate screen like games such as Shining Force, making "power gaming" unnecessary. Players level by doing - the more the player uses certain skills, the more that those skills go up. The game also has many stats and types of characters to work with, and death is permanent, meaning it takes real skill in assembling a diverse party to succeed.
