Psikyo



Psikyo (Japanese: Saikyō / 彩京) was a Japanese game developer and publisher that developed a number of shooting games between 1992 and 2003. It was formed by ex-Video System staff who had previously worked on Rabio Lepus, Turbo Force and the first game of the Aero Fighters series. In 2002 they were acquired by X-Nauts and stopped developing games in-house. X-Nauts.Psikyo shut down in 2005 and ZeroDiv, an SES company formed the same year by former Psikyo developer Takayuki Haragami, acquired the rights to their properties. ZeroDiv primarily licensed the rights to mobile developers until they were acquired by City Connection in 2019.

Psikyo games are noted for their fast enemy bullet patterns, highly challenging second loops, and random elements.
