The core Darius experience doesn’t change much, but if that core is up your alley, Dariusburst could keep you busy until the end of time. Chronicle Mode is essentially thousands of rejigged levels and bosses mixed with various restrictions or alterations arrayed on a fancy galaxy map. Speaking of completion time, Chronicle Mode is where Dariusburst wants you to reside – potentially forever. All in all, a nice expansion of the core experience that ramps up the completion time something fierce. Doing so does prevent you from entering onto the online leaderboards, however. Every single mode can be played with infinite lives if you wanted, letting you explore the game without fear of being murdered by monstrous space fish. That said, the challenge is incredibly situational in Dariusburst. This mode even has its own unique endings, rewarding you for slogging through the steep challenge on display. Stages are significantly harder, even on the easier routes, and bosses are changed up to keep you on your toes. Original EX takes the formula of the Original mode and dials the difficulty to 11. Rounding it all out, there are 5 endings to be had based on your final destination, all of which are throwaway, but nice to see at least once. Each run lasts maybe 15 minutes and there are 12 stages to play around with, in a variety of permutations. All in all, there is a decent amount of play to be had here. Each stage even comes with its own devilish boss ready to steal your Continues. Furthermore, you can alter your course through the game at each stage junction, giving you a bit of wiggle room when it comes to replayability and modular difficulty selection. Original tasks you, a plucky pilot helming the Silver Hawk line of starfighters, to tackle a string of stages, defeating mechanized aquatic gribblies along the way.Įach run consists of 3 stages, with each stage getting progressively more difficult as you go. Starting up the game you have access to four modes, Original, Original EX, Chronicle, and Event. Dariusburst is jam-packed with content and things to do. Not Just A Hefty Titleĭariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ (just Dariusburst from now on) didn’t quite live up to my expectations, but that wasn’t for lack of trying. When word reached my ear that a new title, lengthily named, Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ was releasing for Playstation 4 and Switch, I was stoked to give it a whirl.
Despite being a relative newbie, even I have heard of the Arcade Legend, Darius. I am a recently converted fan of the Cult of Shmup, with the recently released Cotton Reboot being the catalyst to my indoctrination.
