Decent STG, real draw is the huge ass cabinet and the double screen presentation of the Darius series. Great music. Made me realize the spectacle and experience has always been the selling feature of Darius, which aren't ever the most interesting or challenging STG games. You want to go back and play it at the arcade so you can get your hair blown back. Now that arcades at least in the US are generally enthusiast spaces, the cabinet doesn't feel nearly as exciting as whatever classic you're there to play. But it's a cool memorable time, an artifact of the period where arcade machines were fighting to produce experiences that home consoles couldn't recreate.

Very mid but the cab is something else, does the whole double-wide thing like X-Men but in a shared cockpit with hazard lights and surround sound.

Normally not a shmup fan, but I was able to play this with the long dual screen and surround sound in an arcade and it was very cool. Wish I could have played it more, but I was with my sister, so we just did the shortest path possible. Apparently it's on Switch now, so maybe I'll grab it at some point, but I know that arcade experience cannot be topped by the console version.
