Darius Burst

Dariusburst (ダライアスバースト Daraiasubāsuto?) is a horizontal scrolling shooter developed by Pyramid and published by Taito.[2] It forms part of the Darius series and it is released for the PlayStation Portable in December 24, 2009.

Like previous Darius games, Dariusburst is an offbeat sci-fi shooter set in outer space with aquatic-themed (typically fish-shaped) robotic enemies. In keeping with tradition, 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.

A related arcade game titled Dariusburst Another Chronicle (ダライアスバースト アナザークロニクル Daraiasubāsuto Anazā Kuronikuru?) was released on December 17, 2010, in a 32:9 dual widescreen cabinet.[3][4] An update, Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX, was released in 2011.

A revised port of the original game for iOS and Android, titled Dariusburst Second Prologue (ダライアスバースト セカンドプロローグ Daraiasubāsuto Sekando Purorōgu?), was released on February 10, 2012,[5] and October 24, 2015 in the US. An enhanced release titled Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours (ダライアスバースト クロニクルセイバーズ Daraiasubāsuto Kuronikuru Seibāzu?) has been announced for PlayStation 4, PlayStation Vita, and Microsoft Windows.[6] The game will be released in Japan by Kadokawa Games under their publishing division Chara-Ani, and was released internationally by Degica.[7]
