Late Review“Psycho Dream is a fun, challenging 2D action platformer; it’s one of those Japan only game that never had the chance outside of the land of the Rising Sun and it’s fun seeing it getting a new lease on life. It has all the classic features; straight forward, challenging boss fights, enjoyable level design and interesting power ups. Once you get adapted to the “heavy” movements and weapon short range, you’ll find a nice hidden gem. If you’re a fan of 2D action games, Psycho Dream is a no-brainer.”

Launch Window“While some retro fans may find it appealing, the gameplay is a bit messy and follows the old rule of “overpowered until you get hit too much” design”

Launch Window“Still, the inexcusable emulation errors also cause the game to be significantly more difficulty here than it should be, which takes what could have been a solid port of an otherwise fun action game, into an infuriating mess where you’re fighting against invisible obstacles for no logical reason at all.”
