YMMV / Psikyo

• Badass Decay: This happened with the company during its last years. Their purchase by X-Nauts didn't help matters either.
• Best Known for the Fanservice: Apart from Koyori and all the fanservice from the Sengoku Ace series, Psikyo is best known to most people as a company that made pornographic Mahjong games (the Taisen Hot Gimmick series and an adaptation of G-Taste hentai), mostly thanks to Jun Tsukasa.
• Creepy Awesome: Ayin.
• Cult Classic: Various games made by Psikyo are considered this:
  • Shoot 'Em Up fans have recommended Psikyo's Bullet Hell games to those wanting to get into them.
  • Daraku Tenshi has a cult base between fighting game fans, especially on M.U.G.E.N, where all characters have adaptations to the engine, as well their stages.
• Ensemble Dark Horse: Koyori from the Sengoku Ace series, probably the most known character from Psikyo.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Psikyo was huge in South Korea, almost any shmup you would find in arcades there were Psikyo or Psikyo styled.You could find some Korean shmups that are heavily influenced by Psikyo, such as 1945K III.
• Only the Creator Does It Right: This happened with the Sengoku Ace series. The 2 first games were made by Psikyo (Ace and Blade), but after being bought by X-Nauts they made Cannon, which killed the franchise.
• Periphery Demographic: After their closure, Psikyo's games were ported to mobile by Mobtrix (and later a dozen other companies), it was there that Psikyo became known throughout the mobile gaming community, some people are more familiar with the mobile ports of their Shmups than the console ports.
• Visual Effects of Awesome: Most of its Shoot 'Em Up games, like the Sengoku Ace series, qualify for this.
