Classic shoot’em up action returns when Strictly Limited Games and TAITO release Darius Cozmic Revelation, a new collection that includes G-DARIUS HD and DARIUSBURST Another Chronicle EX+. Both games include updated features to appeal to longtime fans and newcomers alike.
Developed by emulation specialists M2, G-DARIUS HD is a high-resolution port of G-DARIUS. The game can also be played in low resolution like the original arcade version. With its memorable soundtrack and boss battles, G-DARIUS was considered at its release one of the best examples of how to bring a 2D game series properly to 3D.
DARIUSBURST Another Chronicle EX+ is the latest iteration in the series, which began in 2009 on the PSP. Developed by Pyramid, the game includes all features from the arcade version of Another Chronicle EX, as well as several new elements yet to be revealed.
