- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* The game has the same mechanics to "Psyvariar - Medium Unit" with the following differences:
Ship : the core in "Psyvariar - Revision" is more protected and smaller than in "Psyvariar - Medium Unit", so it allows the gamer to take bigger risks in order to level up.
Buzz system : while on "Psyvariar - Medium Unit" a bullet/enemy can only be buzzed once, in "Psyvariar - Revision" the object can be buzzed more than once.
* Secret Stages : Finish a stage with regulation level.
2-D (Volcano) : Level 24
3-C (City) : Level 80
4-B (Zero Space) : Level 45
4-C (City) : Level 96
X-A (Photon) : Level 56
X-B (Graviton) : Level 118
X-C (Weakboson) : Level 163
X-D (Gluon) : Level 218
And you can play XX area after finish X-D in replay mode. If X-D is missing in replay mode, play normal X-D and get over 20,000 pts.
XX-A (Photon-X)
XX-B (Graviton-X)
XX-C (Weakboson-X)
