Dariusburst: Second Prologue

released on Feb 09, 2012

A port of Dariusburst

Dariusburst Second Prologue is a horizontal scrolling shooter developed by Pyramid and published by Taito. Being part of the Darius series, it is an offbeat sci-fi shooter set in outer space with aquatic-themed (typically fish-shaped) robotic enemies. The game also features branching paths instead of the linear progression found in most video games. There are a total of 11 zones in the game, with 5 stages per run. The Android version offers three modes of playing: SP Mode, Original Mode and Mission Mode. Some of these need to be unlocked to be selected.

It's a nice comfy port that feels nice on phones. Didn't realize OG Dariusburst had so little content though, like there's less meat to its levels than ANY other mainline Darius. Touch controls feel great but make the game wayyyyyyyyy too easy, I think even people outside the shmup community could 1CC it on a second or third try.

Also worth noting that the game's screen doesn't scale right to my phone, and the top 15% of the screen was just chopped off. They give you some screen options in the menu to re-size, but all the defaults are perfect resolution-based, and so the screen becomes microscopic.
