Defunct Games reviews DariusBurst: Another Chronicle EX+ by Taito and ININ Games, available now on PlayStation 4 and Switch.
Nearly thirty-five years after first hitting the arcade scene, Darius continues to be one of the best and most-respected shoot 'em ups on the market. The newest installment is called DariusBurst: Another Chronicle EX+, and beyond being a mouthful, it's also a gorgeous 2D shooter that is packed with more modes and levels than you'll ever have time to play. It's also filled with stunning fish-themed bosses that take up most of the super-wide display. While a little repetitive, Another Chronicle EX+ is a must for both shoot 'em up junkies and longtime fans of the Darius franchise. Now, enough with the ports. Bring on a new Darius game.
