WARNING!! DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours is approaching fast!


DARIUSBURST Chronicle Saviours is the latest installment in Taito's DARIUS series of arcade-style shooting games. Blast hordes of alien sea-monsters, and blaze your own trail through branching environments.
Features:
  • The richest content in the Darius series: all the arcade content from Another Chronicle EX (AC), plus the all-new Chronicle Saviours (CS) Mode.
  • In AC Mode, you have multiple modes: Original, Original EX, and Chronicle Mode. Original Mode is an authentic recreation of the arcade campaign with its branching levels. Original EX mode is a harder version of the arcade campaign, designed for players that want an extra challenge.
  • Chronicle Mode includes a whopping 3000+ stages that can be unlocked by global players. Each time a world is unlocked by a player on your cabinet*, you get access to it too. Race to save them all!
  • CS Mode is a single player story mode with 200+ stages, spanning the entire timeline of DARIUS history. Revisit classic Darius ships and music in this ultimate fan experience!
  • 9 playable ships to choose from, including Silver Hawk variants from classic Darius games, and a new CS-exclusive ship. Some ships are equipped with powerful Burst weapons, while others have strong base firepower. Pick the playstyle that suits you best, and use your ship’s unique strengths and weaknesses to blast through your enemies.
  • Over 40 enormous aquatic-themed battleships including series favorites like "Great Thing" and "Iron Fossil" as well as new CS-exclusive bosses.
  • A haunting and memorable Zuntata soundtrack, including classic tracks and entirely new compositions. Play it loud for the full Darius experience!
  • Up to 4-player local co-op with unique mechanics like sharable power-ups and Burst weapon combos.
  • Graphical settings for a variety of resolutions in 16:9 and 32:9 aspect ratios—up to 3440 x 1440 resolution.
  • AC Mode supports dual monitors with a 32:9 aspect ratio, and up to 6880 x 1440 resolution. The 32:9 aspect ratio appears letterboxed on single-screen displays to preserve the appearance of the original game. CS Mode is optimized for single-monitor displays to give a larger picture. No matter what your setup, DARIUSBURST CS is a truly massive visual experience!
  • Steam achievements, online leaderboards, and cloud backup saves are supported. Compete to see who can get the best score in each area!

*Here's how the cabinet feature works; when you begin playing DARIUSBURST CS, you'll be assigned a random virtual cabinet. As you complete areas in Chronicle Mode, you'll liberate planets and unlock new areas. Whenever you liberate a world, it will also be unlocked and shared with other players that are in the same cabinet. Compete with other players to see who can clear the most worlds, or see who can get the highest score in each world. It's like a miniature universe that you share with other players!

confusing, weird, unfun? there's a million options, and while the mechanics are straightforward, you just feel like you chain levels without purpose. scoring feels pointless, stage design is an afterthought, and bosses get exhausting real quick. on top of that, nothing is explained to you! you can just go in some weird chronicle mode and pick a route / area from some weird grid but none of it makes sense. there's some seemingly classic arcade mode but it also feels very dry. this is a bit more personal but not a fan of the type of bullets in this game (everything is pencil thin) and just adds to the lack of impact i can feel in the game. the best part of the game is the DLC ships which unfortunately cost you extra money. they bring a little something that make it more fun to play compared to the rest of the game. i might as well just play their original game though! if you want a chill laid back time where you can just boot up whatever... it's there? but i just have no idea why i would ever want to go back to this personally, and don't really recommend it unless you get it on sale. cool soundtrack though!

Beautiful game. Works on Steam Deck. Some translations in English are missing or wrong.

I love this game. There's so much charm and polish to it. Everything is very well executed. If you're a fan of classic arcade shooters I wouldn't think twice before purchasing this. You'll love it. The design of certain stages reminds me a lot of SQUARE's legendary PSX title, EINHANDER. The only major downside is the cost. It should be more affordable, and this should hold especially true for the DLC. I would like to give props to TAITO's ZUNTATA. They have done a fantastic job with the audio design and soundtrack. They are masters of their craft, takumi, even.
Recommended May 8, 2026
Excellent game, great gameplay and boss fights, suitable for relaxation, but also a challenge... and maybe it's a secret sequel to DREDGE, or not.
