A [[NoExportForYou Japan-only]] UsefulNotes/PlayStation game based on the OVA was released shortly after, which is a side-scrolling action platformer similar to the likes of both ''Franchise/{{Metroid}}'' and ''Franchise/MegaMan'' and that the game's plot closely follows the OVA's storyline, with the exception of a few minor differences. In addition to this and whereas in the anime in which Hikaru only fights in her standard armor, she gets multiple different styles of armor upgrades after defeating a boss, similiar to ''VideoGame/MegaManZX'''s Bio Metal System.
