What players think
The recurring themes across 300 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
It comes with two sets of levels that have branching paths for maximum replayability, and there's also an extra mode that sees you going across a galaxy, fighting different boss encounters and helping other players across the world unlock more planets. whenever I tried this mode, it felt like every planet had already been beaten, but you can still play every level in that mode, so it's no big deal.
I always loved Darius soundtrack.
Music, Graphics, etc.: The music is really good on this game, even certain ships on CS Mode give levels different BGM sets, and that really adds a refreshing feeling to levels you are good at and are only playing for the PTS.
Darius Burst series is basically Street Fighter 2, but instead of adding characters in each edition (SF2 Super, SF2 Hyper.
Thankfully there's a workaround via x360ce or any other controller emulator, you just need to fake that you have 4 controllers plugged in whenever you want to remote play (the other person MUST use a controller).
Authentic arcade experience—AC mode plays just like the arcade Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX, complete with four-player local co-op and dual-monitor support with resolutions as high as 1440p for each display.
