From Wikipedia:
Einhänder is a scrolling shooter developed by Square for the PlayStation console. It was released in Japan on November 20, 1997 and in North America on May 5, 1998. It was also re-released for the Japanese PlayStation Network on June 25, 2008. The name Einhänder is German and denotes a type of sword that is wielded with one hand, here used to refer to the single manipulator arm possessed by the player’s spacecraft.
The most unique feature that separate this game from the others is this game is 2.5D Scrolling Shooter. Meaning, although this game looks 3D due to using 3D Polygons instead Sprites, the movement and gameplay still using 2D mechanics.
The logo uses Exocet Heavy with added weight, vertically stretched letterforms, an enlarged and lowered initial E, and a modified Ä with flat serifs and round dots. The font used for the Japanese name (アインハンダー) is unidentified.
