    While there are many questionable choices present, DariusBurst: Another Chronicle EX+ remains an enjoyable shmup.

    Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ is a great release for Darius fans with its varied modes and stages, but a hard sell for newcomers who should get the Darius Cozmic Arcade and Console Collections instead as more accessible introductions to the series.

    The Darius series has been one of the consistently challenging and impressive arcade classics that has evolved while retaining its core charmsThe Darius series has been one of the consistently challenging and impressive arcade classics that has evolved while retaining its core charms over the years. The collections released previously in the year point to this legacy both from the arcades and home consoles, so the Switch has gotten a great taste of what it has had to offer over the years. This much newer iteration is impressive in its own right but perhaps not as well-suited to the Switch as you’d hope. Certainly it has a great overall look and plays faithfully to the series, but the screen scaling coming over from the arcades is simply an issue even when playing in docked mode but I’d almost consider it unplayable in handheld as the details just end up being too small to see well. The play is there, including the branching paths and some other elements, but in this case perhaps faithfulness to the source material is more of an impediment than a strength, though fans of the arcade unit will no doubt disagree.

Thus, the title is a lot of fun for newcomers and pros alike, and only in some places does frustration arise. The story is a nice addition. The controls are very easy to use and you can kill your opponents in a flash. Playing together with friends on the couch is also fun, and there's a lot going on on the screen. The graphics and sound are also good and round off the good overall impression. Those who would like to test their skills again should take a closer look at "DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+".… Full Review »
