Psyvariar 3 (PS5)

Psyvariar 3 takes place many years after the fall of ETA, in a time when the Earth colony has finally begun to thrive once more. However, the peace is shattered when unknown alien signals and Gluon particles are detected, signaling a familiar terror. As the skies darken and Earth falls under siege once again, a new generation of Psyvariars must rise to save humanity. This latest entry preserves the high-risk, high-reward intensity the series is known for, delivered with a stunning neo-retro 3D aesthetic.

The core of the experience remains the iconic Buzz System, which rewards skilful players for "grazing" enemy bullets. By flying dangerously close to projectiles, you earn score boosts and trigger shield chains. This is complemented by the signature Roll Mechanic, which has been updated for modern PlayStation 5 controllers while still allowing for the classic arcade "wiggle" input for fluid movement. Whether you are using the Neutrino System to unlock speed boosts or deploying strategic bomb variations, every split-second decision determines your survival.

With seven playable characters—each featuring unique shot types and scoring systems—plus a special guest appearance by Cotton from the legendary Cotton series, there is immense variety to explore. The game features multiple modes to test your mettle, including a Mission Mode with 49 short challenges, Caravan, and Endless modes. As you battle through seven distinct areas, the dynamic difficulty system will adjust based on your performance, unlocking harder routes and exclusive boss encounters for the most skilled pilots.
