    This adaptation of the 2008 arcade is still fresh, thanks to the mastery of Cave in the genre. Those who haven't enjoyed it in the iPhone will find a great game, that is a perfect port from the arcade, adding all its gameplay features.

    Take a good game and make it even better: that's what Cave has done out of DoDonPachi Resurrection Deluxe, a low-cost title that offers an unique gameplay style. Colourful, happy and incredibly outrageous, don't think it twice before buying it.

    For those who like their shooters feisty rather than thinky, this is the perfect choice. [Issue#115, p.109]

    Not only one of Cave's best 2D shooters but one of the definitive entries in the whole genre, with a deep weapons system and dazzling pyrotechnics.

    Regardless, that Cave continues to flourish in a shifting industry and to evolve a sub-genre they helped define, is testament to the studio's strategic nous - in-game and out. DoDonPachi Resurrection shows just how much poorer we would be without them.

    Interested in getting into the genre? Try the softer Ikaruga or Radiant Silvergun. [Jan 2012, p.98]

    The Xbox 360 conversion of DoDonPachi Resurrection has an interesting leaderboard system and a couple of intriguing game modes, but the gameplay is a bit too old and lacks originality.

Not for everyone, but as a starting point is a good choice as there is a Novice mode to get you used to it, before throwing you into the other modes.
    Music is great, and lots of action.

    Un classique. c'est beau (par ses couleurs), c'est jouissif.
    Si vous pouvez mettre votre écran à la vertical, c'est vraiment sympa.

    Le jeu reste est orienté vers un public de joueurs confirmés, de fans du genre.
