Review of Fireball 2 for PlayStation 5

Okay, so let’s talk about Fireball 2. You know, it’s one of those fast-paced, neon-lit arcade games on the PS5. And wow, it’s a total ride. So, you’re basically a fireball. Yeah, you heard that right. A fireball! And your job? Well, it’s to make things go boom—triggering bombs and dodging this crazy swarm of enemies.

And jeez, it gets intense. The whole idea is to lure these enemies into the bombs’ blast radius. Risky? Totally. But hey, that’s how you rack up the score and maybe secure a spot on the local leaderboard. I mean, who doesn’t like a bit of leaderboard glory? And when, not if, but when, the screen fills up with thousands of baddies? You gotta zoom outta there like your pants are on fire.

Two modes are up for grabs. Core starts you out, easing you into this Zen-like trance. Bombs? The enemies keep away from ‘em at first, so you can casually stroll past and make them explode. Now, stick it out long enough and say hello to Chaos Mode. Guess what? It’s pure anarchy. Enemies spawn from wherever you move and they’ll do anything to keep you from those bombs. Fun times, right?

Now, let’s sidebar about controls, ‘cause it’s all about moving your fireball with the analog stick. Bombs are scattered around and you tap them to go kaboom. The boost buttons—X, Square, whatever—yeah, those, they’re your getaway plan. But, careful now, zooming around like a maniac can land you smack into more enemies. Oops.

Then there’s Nova. Once you obliterate enough foes, a Nova forms—think of it as bombs on steroids, taking out huge groups. Plus, you get this upgrade. No picking and choosing like other games, it’s straightforward. Your fireball gets bigger and speedier. Yay! And with some luck, two Novas make a Blackhole, which—get this—makes you invincible for a bit as it nukes every baddie.

Oh, and there’s a trophy hunt too. A platinum up for grabs if that’s your thing. Survive waves, upgrade your fireball, you know the drill. It’s got that “just-one-more-try” vibe.

So yeah, Fireball 2 is out and about on the PS5 for $6.99. You’re in for a wild, neon-filled ride—definitely worth a spin.

And yeah, this comes from Radiangames. Catch you in the leaderboard chase?
