    Thing with shmups is that if you try and beat them on 1 credit and optimise them for score, they can easily last you as long in hours as your typical RPG. Saying this as a fan of the genre, I've spent a bit too much money on single releases, but I've never felt short changed. These are games you can jump into for a quick go and that keep on giving.

    The thing with G-Darius, if you fight the bosses without using the capture balls and proper usage of the beam, you are going to be in for a long drawn out battle.

    Its out on ps4 too. I believe if during a boss battle you fire your beam into the bosses beam it speed kills the enemy, makes the battles much shorter.

      Pretty much NO ONE understands the Alpha Beam mechanic to the game. It's almost ESSENTIAL to good play as you rack up the multiplier. I've watched around 5 reviews for this game now and they don't seem to get the concept behind the beam battles.
      It's actually SUPER frustrating for me to watch!

      @@AzrialAlaria It is an essential technique. Whilst shooters can seem simple many have different mechanics and nuance which needs to be perfected in order to get good, many reviewers miss out on lots of gameplay details. Be interesting to see Cotton Boomerang reviews as the mechanics are deep in that game.

    Wasn't the Darius's gimmick was that it had a double-triple wide screen?
    I don't really follow the Darius series, so I wasn't sure if the arcades continued down that path in the arcades and we just get the narrower screen... or if Taito just narrowed the screen for both across the board.

      Darius 1 / 2 and Burst all have multiple displays for their arcade versions. Darius Gaiden and G-Darius were never multi display arcade games and ran at the regular 4:3 aspect ratio.

      The entire point of this release was to be arcade perfect while uping the resolution. Making it widescreen would require redoing the entire stage and enemy layouts.

    A tip for the bosses to shorten them, when they use their beam attack you should use yours and it'll destroy them. (A dragon ball z style battle of beams will ensue where yours wins) don't just shoot them with normal projectiles.
