![]() ![]() All the stages are laid out across a nifty star chart, where you "liberate" certain sectors by completing challenges. Now, there are some very neat things about it. Dariusburst is overflowing with content, but how much of it is worthwhile? Original and EX mode are worth your time and attention, but the thousands of remixed stages and boss fights in Chronicle Mode feel like filler. The issue here is really one of quantity over quality. As a result, Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ is one of the most content-rich shoot-em-ups of all time, if not the most. As a result, you'll get four main modes: Original Mode, which includes three campaigns of varying difficulty levels Original EX Mode, three additional campaigns with much higher difficulty settings Chronicle Mode, a collection of (literally) thousands of reconfigured stages and boss battles with unique rules and restrictions and Event Mode, 21 stages in the same style as Chronicle Mode. Long story short, Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ is a home version of the complete arcade experience, special timed events included. Finally, we have the home port of the arcade experience, Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+, which ditches the unique content from Chronicle Saviours, but adds "Event Mode", a collection of timed challenges that originally appeared in the arcade and remixed scenarios unique to this version. This home version features DLC and a 16:9 "Chronicle Saviours" mode, in addition to arcade content presented in ultra-wide 32:9. Then, in 2015, it came to consoles for the first time in the form of Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours, playable on PS4, PSV, and Steam. One year after that, in 2011, it was updated as Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX. One year later, the game found its way to arcades in the form of Dariusburst: Another Chronicle. Dariusburst entered the world in 2009 on PSP, exclusively in Japan. Overall, Dariusburst on Switch is a tough title to judge: the base game is flashy, fun, and packed with an overwhelming amount of content, but the Switch port doesn't do it any favors.įirst, a history lesson. Now, audiences around the world can sink their teeth into Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+, a port of the expansive arcade experience. Then, earlier this year, fans with access to the Japanese eShop found G-Darius HD, a remaster of the first 3D game in the franchise. Last year, Taito and the port masters at M2 released two digital compilations of old-school Darius shoot-em-up titles: an arcade compendium that covers the original three arcade experiences, including the peerless Darius Gaiden and a console collection with SNES, PC Engine, and Genesis ports.
