Get ready for dynamite action... For a short bit I was one of the top PS2 Psyvariar players in the world.
Psyvariar is a bullet hell shoot-em-up with a buzz mechanic that allows you to graze enemies and bullets without taking damage to rack up points - the more points you get it opens up further stages outside of the regular six or seven. For the most part you can play the entire game without firing a shot. The game carved out a small niche in the shooter scene because of this and still has a dedicated fanbase. The reason I stopped and no longer play it is because the Buzz mechanic - to get it working you had to rapidly smash the joystick left-right to simulate rolling the ship or you could continuously tap a button if you played on a joypad. Practising and playing for a month straight almost broke my hands.
This is from the PS4 version (not me), all the PS2 footage is blurry garbage.
- Game looks nuts. Also looks like you can fly through bullets lasers and ships without getting damage. Always.monospaced
