A sequel that pushes the 'buzz' idea further, it turns danger into fuel: the closer you skim the bullets, the stronger the ship grows and the higher the score soars. Mastering this dance at the edge of the fire demands nerve and precision, where fleeing leads nowhere. Bold and demanding, it stands as a reference for fans of high-risk scoring.

Is Psyvariar 2 - Ultimate Final still worth playing in 2026?
A shoot'em up from Success, Psyvariar 2 - Ultimate Final extends the series' singular vertical shooter, where you build energy by grazing enemy fire as closely as possible via the buzz system, here enriched with new characters and a more accomplished production that pushes risk taking even further. The refinement of the grazing mechanic, the intensity of playing as close to danger as possible and the depth of the scoring appeal to fans of shoot'em ups and score chasers. The high difficulty and the niche character bound the appeal. For a fan of shoot'em ups or a score chaser, the title keeps a perfectly preserved originality and intensity.
