DARIUSBURST SP Reviews

Glad to purchase

Akira Houjou

I was skeptical about this game at first- the price seemed too ridiculous. But then I realized that this is a port from PSP and has slight arrange to it. Boy, I made a good decision. This game is well worth the money. Unlike other game, Darius is one special shooting game that gives you options to decide your path. There are several endings to it, and each time you beat the game you'll recieve some rewards- like gallery, ending cinema, and 3d model viewer. The game play is smooth with minimal lag. Beautiful 3D graphic, definitly one of the best graphic for shooting game in iOS. (and I am not talking about FPS, that's different) Massive boss fight. Control is straight forward. You'll choose from 2 ships first (additional unlockable 2 ships, total of 4 ships to choose) and then off you go. You can change difficulty and number of continue, life stock at the option menu. Easy difficulty will give you full satisfaction. One you get used to the game then increase the difficulty. Darius series were never easy. Only concern was that there was no option to rotate the screen, which is not an issue at all to play the game. This game is excellent. I don't feel like "app" at all. After all, this is not a arcade port, but PSP port. Though the sensation of button mashing action is missing due to the Touch control, the quality of the game remains the same. I have no concern with the price, compare to purchase the imported PSP version for sake of language options. Like I said, this is exactly the same one with PSP, just much cheaper and affordable. Unless you hate Shmup game, I recommend this to anyone.

Side Scrolling King

Taito produced many of my very favourite arcade moments when I was a kid and DariusBurst has just become of my very favourite iOS titles. Amazing visuals, fantastic soundtrack and incredibly responsive controls. Cave have the best vertical shooters out there, this is THE side scrolling King. Buy it now

Really good

This has become one of my more favorite shmups on the iPhone. Glad I got it on sale as I thought the price was a little much at first.

Not worth $11 bucks

I wish they had a demo for this game, not worth $11 bucks I could had got a few better games than this one game for 11 bucks not happy w the results >_<

Nice Arcade

Gadget_Dude

The graphics are nice and they render quickly without hitches or hesitations. Fast fluid combat with great musical backdrops, I would try to get for 5 dollars or less, 11 is just a bit much. Still, a very cool old school console space shooter with modern graphics and music.

Awesome bug fix

Taekrakid

The game is awesome and totally worth the 11 bucks! And now with the bug fix it is amazing! it gave me achievements! If you want a shmup game, this is the game to get! Especially now that you can get achievements!

Not that great

Tatipu

I remember playing this game all the time as a kid and I remember that it lasted a lot longer :/ game is short and at least the beginning is not challenging at all ... Not sure if its supposed to be or not . Not worth the 12 dollars maybe 5-6 but definitely not 12 .

Looks Cool

I wanted, badly, to be able to write a good review for this game since I spent $12 on it. Graphically it is stunning......gameplay can be lame at times. When the bosses show up they are too big. It feels very clostraphobic. It is never very clear when your ship's damage will end up killing you. Bought Danmaku Unlimited 2 for $2 on sale. While I'll give graphics to Dariusburst replability goes to Danmaku Unlimited 2. The music is silly. As great as the boss ships look, the other ships are really weak. Like the previous reviewer said I would be completely satisfied if I had paid maybe $4, but at $12 I overpaid.

taitowesome

King.Albestar

best horizontal shooter in the appstore along with cave's deathsmiles. hope they'll add even more challenges in the future or some other forms of time attack/boss-rush modes, because it's one of the best games for ios

Good shooter, better on 5G devices

DCRage

Overall it's a good game esp. if you're a Darius series fan, it could stand to be optimized for 5G devices but it plays well on my 4G Touch except for crashing when I beat the game. At least on my 5G Touch there's no more crashing. Controls take a little getting used to since there's no pad/stick, only by moving your finger. Also a little pricey but I think it's worth it, but wait and try to catch a sale before downloading it.
