The release date for this new collection is expected to be shared soon, so make sure to keep an eye out if you’re hoping to add it to your gaming library. You can get your hands on Volume 1 and Volume 2 now from PlayAsia. Did you grab Volume 1 earlier this year? Are you hoping to pick up Volumes 2 and 3? Tell us with a comment below.Psikyo Collection Vol. 3 is a Miscellaneous game, developed by Zerodiv and published by Arc System Works, which was released in Asia in 2019. Again, at first glance, Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha looks like an irresistible proposition; many of these games had full-price releases back on the PS1 and Sega Saturn, after all.

What is more, getting these same games on these consoles right now, especially with how hot the collecting markets for the two systems has become, is going to be significantly more expensive than this entire collection. So what is not to love, right? The price point is just too good to resist, so we can pretty much end the review here then… Alas, if only the situation were that simple. This is going to be a controversial review because this collection cuts right between two opposing demographics of the genre: the casual pick-up-and-play crowd looking for a relaxing way to spend a few minutes versus the dedicated, prepared to burn hundreds of hours to master a single game, hardcore scene.

Each demographic has their own needs and wants, of course, but this time around one camp is going to be left out in the cold. Before we cross that bridge, let us have a look at the games themselves. The six titles on offer in this collection are Strikers 1945, Strikers 1945 II, Strikers 1945 III, Dragon Blaze, Sol Divide, and Zero Gunner 2. Of these games, the first four – in this reviewer’s opinion – are stone-cold classics. Every shmup fan at some point in his or her life should play these games and be both awed and terrified by the brutal, relentless action. Sitting somewhere between a classic shmup, like Capcom’s 19XX games, and a bullet-hell, like Raizing’s Battle Garegga.

ZERO GUNNER 2

The Strikers series somehow manages to maintain a straight-forward appeal for old-school fans while also placing an impressive amount of bullets on-screen. Of the three games, Strikers 1945 II tends to get the nod from Psikyo fans as the best due to its carefully refined systems overall. In comparison to the first entry, Strikers II includes more generous invincibility frames, a bigger bomb count, and more thoughtfully-distributed suicide bullets. In comparison to Strikers III, II also has a stronger balance between the ship types. With that being said though, the other two titles are absolutely worthwhile in their own rights as well – especially the third one, which has a unique gameplay feel and setting compared to the other two.

Next is Dragon Blaze, an under-rated shmup to be sure. After playing the game, Dragon Blaze can be described as Psikyo’s answer to CAVE and danmaku. The bullet speed is turned down, the bullet density is turned up, and there is now a fantastic creature the character rides on (like the beetle of Mushihimesama). Even the colour of the enemy attacks has been swapped to pink. Perhaps it is our inner CAVE fan speaking, but we love this game as well. We start out our review of the games contained on the Bravocollection with an interesting one, the Samurai Aces series! This one is interesting because it starts more like a very Asian-inspired version of Strikers 1945.

GUNBARICH

In the second one, sub-titled TENGAI, it changes to having the characters ditch the plane, and switch to a horizontal shooter! Then, with the third entry in the series, SENGOKUN CANNON, they ditch the traditional all-sprite-based look for 3-D models flying high on moving backgrounds! It’s an interesting evolution for the series that lets you play in the universe, regardless of the kind of shoot ‘em up you are looking to play. Also, some of the characters in the third one might even make this count as a #SwitchLewd! All in all, the high-flying samurai action was good to look at, and even more fun to play, regardless of the entry, and it is highly recommended!

The last two games of the collection, Sol Divide and Zero Gunner 2, are more experimental and eccentric additions. In Sol Divide, we get the impression that Psikyo was interested in trying to create a fusion between a Golden Axe-style beat em’ up and a horizontal shooter. The result is mixed, and nowhere near the quality of a game like Golden Axe, but it is still a cool concept and an enjoyable addition. Finally, there is Zero Gunner 2, which is also a solid but not top-tier shmup. What’s interesting to note about Zero Gunner 2 is that it utilizes 360-degree rotation of the player’s helicopter. like many twin-stick shooters. Nintendo Switch Sports Switch
