  • Summary: Psyvariar 3 takes place many years after the events of Psyvariar 2. After the fall of ETA, a faction of Psyvariars declared that Earth was too precious to be forsaken. They vowed to reclaim and colonize it once more, with GUIS rising from its ashes to resume its original mission.

    Decades pass. The Earth colony thrives. Then... a signal. Alien. Unknown.

    The moment Gluon particles are detected, dread spreads like fire. The skies darken with a familiar terror - Earth is under siege once again. The time has come for a new generation of Psyvariars to rise... and save humanity.    … Expand

    In being genre-authentic, distinct, and wildly exciting, Psyvariar 3 makes for a glorious series return. It’s looks won’t be for everyone, but its generous package, riveting gameplay, and engrossing depth make it essential if you have more than a passing internist in bullet hell shooters.

    Psyvariar 3 proves that the series' core formula can evolve without sacrificing what made it memorable in the first place. The signature buzz system remains intact; it works exceptionally well once you understand its mechanics. The addition of multiple ships with meaningful differences adds considerable depth, while the varied difficulty settings and game modes give the experience lasting appeal. For shoot-'em-up fans, Psyvariar 3 is well worth a look, especially if you're seeking something that stands apart from the genre's usual conventions.

    Psyvariar 3 is a smart and faithful revival that doubles down on the series’ signature risk-reward mechanics. It may take time to adjust to this unconventional approach, but once the buzzing system is appreciated, the game becomes incredibly satisfying.

    Psyvariar 3 is a niche game within an already niche genre. This is a title that knows exactly which audience it's aimed at: the kind of shoot 'em up enthusiasts who fell in love with the old Psyvariar games released around the turn of the millennium, and who have been waiting for a new shoot 'em up with the same super-aggressive gameplay ever since. If you belong to this narrow target group, Psyvariar 3 is Christmas, Eid and Hanukkah all rolled into one. For everyone else, it might just seem like a sack of potatoes.
