Reviews

It plays a lot like the other Psikyo shmups that are on Switch, but that’s no bad thing considering how well put together they are. Gunbird 2 also adds a risky close-range move and some new point scoring opportunities. Finding ways to improve your score adds replayability, but even if you have no interest in high-score chasing there’s a lot of fun to be had here.

Nintendo Life

Gunbird 2 is a huge step up from the first game but it still doesn’t do enough to stand out in such an oversaturated genre. That being said, what’s here is a challenging classic shoot ’em up with intricate scoring mechanics that’ll appeal to hardcore genre fans.

Video Chums

Gunbird 2 is no better or worse than the first title, it’s just more of the same. If that’s acceptable to you, you’ll be getting a great little shmup that’ll keep you entertained for a good few hours.
