Worth every penny.

If you enjoyed the previous two games in the series (Darius Gaiden and G Darius), BUY THIS NOW. If you enjoy shumups on iOS, BUY THIS NOW. As usual, Zuntata (the in house band that does music for Taito) has put out another superb soundtrack that retains the eerie feel the series is known for. Taito knows how to do touch screen controls for a shumup. Unlike the bare-bones port of Rayforce, this game packs more than enough content to justify it's relatively high price. If you like this game, I strongly recommend picking up the Taito legends compilation for Darius Gaiden, Rayforce and G Darius.
Amazing but Needs Screen Flip!

They have this amazing soundtrack but the screen is incapable of flipping which means your hand covers the speaker as you play, muffling the sound; or more awkwardly, if you have headphones plugged in.
Incredible, minus a few tiny items

This is about the best side scrolling franchise shooter on the App Store I have played. Having been (and still a player of) Darius Twin on the SNES, this is an outstanding follow up in the series. The bosses are all awesome, the levels are well balanced in difficulty, the level selection and path choices are great. Everything is very well done and well worth the price. The graphics are very smooth and high quality, though not the most technically marveling on iOS. My only minor issues come in the form of compatibility. I understand this was ported from a PSP title, so some things are inherently going to be different on an iPad. However, the lack of rotation support really ends up making it uncomfortable to play on an iPod (headphone port is blocked), or an iPad (the smart cover ends up hanging and waving around and you block the speaker with your hand). If the rotation issue can be corrected, and an iPad 3 retina update with some sharper texture perhaps, it would be a crying shame if this didn't make its way onto the front page of the app store.

Only issue, screen rotation is locked and that can be annoying at times.
Just the right difficulty level

I'm not super familiar with the older Darius games, but I've played a bunch of other shooters. Dariusburst reminds me a lot of R-type and other side-scrolling shooters in that the screen never feels cluttered with bullets and it feels like each level throws fun new mechanics at you that you have to figure out. After 2-3 games to figure out the bosses' patterns it should be possible to clear easy mode without using a continue, which is a lot of fun and a good introduction to the different burst mechanics. Switch the game to hard mode, though, and the challenge level goes right up. The game never feels unbeatable though. The art is also gorgeous. All of the bosses look amazing and the level backgrounds are well-designed. Zuntata as usual provides a soundtrack that's a cut above the norm (though I prefer their RayStorm music). I'm really glad Taito is making games for iOS now; this game is an asset to the platform.
Brings back many childhood memories!

Perfect! Just please change it so that your left hand doesn't muffle the sound by enabling screen rotation.
