    It plays a lot like the other Psikyo shmups that are on Switch, but that's no bad thing considering how well put together they are. Gunbird 2 also adds a risky close-range move and some new point scoring opportunities. Finding ways to improve your score adds replayability, but even if you have no interest in high-score chasing there's a lot of fun to be had here.

    Gunbird 2 is a huge step up from the first game but it still doesn't do enough to stand out in such an oversaturated genre. That being said, what's here is a challenging classic shoot 'em up with intricate scoring mechanics that'll appeal to hardcore genre fans.

    Gunbird 2 is no better or worse than the first title, it's just more of the same. If that's acceptable to you, you'll be getting a great little shmup that'll keep you entertained for a good few hours.

    Gunbird 2 is a retro shoot'em up with very detailed graphics and charismatic characters. Like many others, it is very short and has few game modes, although it offers long hours of play on Nintendo Switch thanks to its gameplay.
