Encyclopedia > Psyvariar 2

Psyvariar 2 is the sequel to Psyvariar Medium Unit and Psyvariar Revision, both of which were released on Taito's G-Net Hardware, and ported to the PlayStation 2 console. Psyvariar 2 was released on Sega NAOMI arcade hardware, and was ported for home release on the Dreamcast, Xbox, and PlayStation 2 consoles.


The Psyvariar series of vertically scrolling shoot 'em ups requires the player to risk all in order to get high scores. Your ship is largely invincible, apart from an area a few pixels large in its centre. Points are gained not only from destroying enemies, but also from "buzzing" enemy bullets - scraping them with the invincible sections of your craft. When leveling up, it gives the player a brief window of invulnerability, allowing the player to risk possible death in trying to "buzz" more bullets to continue the "level up" chain. It is this "risk/reward" structure that defines Psyvariar 2's unique brand of gameplay.
