Description
A Skonec and Success shoot-em-up released in 2003, the tenth volume of the budget SuperLite 2000 Japanese collection. Includes Psyvariar Revision, improved version of Success's cult vertical shoot-em-up (2000) with signature buzzing mechanic (grazing enemy bullets to gain experience). 18 stages with dynamic branching, Medium/Revision modes. Technical shoot-em-up niche for score chasers.
A revised edition of a shoot-'em-up that reinvented risk-taking: the 'buzz' rewards the player who skims the fire as closely as possible, turning a near-miss into a surge of power. Reading trajectories, daring to get close and staying calm under fire are everything. Singular and demanding, it wins over scorers seeking a danmaku that goes against the grain.
