In episode 31 of Bullet Heaven, we took a look at Darius Twin, a ho-hum console-exclusive side-scroller in the long-running Taito shooting series. With another three games under Taito's belt how does the latest entry in the series, DARIUSBURST CS, hold up? And, by the way... how does one get through over 3000 stages?!

It's a shame a lot of people don't care for the soundtrack, I've loved every track.
+saigancat Like most other music, it's 100% personal taste.
why is Darius music so weird & harsh sounding?
why doesn't black metal sound happy?
why isn't garage punk cleanly recorded?
why are horror movies scary?
+Dead Stock Paradise because it takes place in space
Really? Even 0:40? Don't get me wrong, that one from Gaiden is a banger and the Ost is one of the reasons G-Darius is my favourite game in the series
ok.
darius burst cs core taito plus sega pack is on nintendo switch with a lot of dlc included but pc has more but witch version must i get.
Just bought a used limited edition box for the Vita for about $55. When we opened the box to check the contents, the game and soundtrack were still sealed. NICE!
Nice!!

"Some boss attacks can be countered... with a perfectly timed burst attack."
*blue Silver Hawk immediately dies to counter-able laser*
Ye, it happens.
I honestly love the OST here - it feels like a friendly in-joke, in a way. It's endearingly weird to me.
Dariusburst chronicle Saviours actually has 1000's of stages, that's insane!
am I the only who doesnt mind the "freedom" song?
+Retrograde77 I don't. It sounds like generic Japanese shmup music, which fits this game perfectly.
+Retrograde77 The song goes pretty well with the stage it is on. The first stage of CS mode.
+dork5002002 I think with Freedom in specific, it's definitely love/hate. If the lyrics were better delivered, I think we would have at least liked the track.
+Retrograde77 I like most of Zuntata's crazy music. It's pretty fitting for Darius and I've got no problem with any of it that I've heard. "Freedom" does get a bit old after a while, since it's been in all of the promo material, but it does have a bit of a unique acid jazz sound that is not common for shooters.
+Retrograde77 You are not alone...
love your reviews, picked up quite a few games on your recommendation. keep up the great work, and keep shooting for the core.
Bought this for steam a few days ago. It was pricey, but the MASSIVE amount of content made it all worth it.
i like the music
it has the darius feeling
I'm so happy I found this series of videos, So many scrolling shooters to be discovered I love it. I'm curious if you two have plans to review Enemy Mind a shmup I found on steam. Guess I'll have to stick around to find out.
we took an unexpected leave of absence. first it was a crushing workload, then the unfortunate passing of a family member... but we're hoping to get episode 144 up extremely soon! we just need to record our vo and we should be back in the swing of things.
I'm gonna chip in and say that I've put in nearly double the hours of all my other SHMUPs on Steam and I've STILL barely scratched the surface of CS mode. It's even quickly approaching the time of my recent Score obsession of Crimzon Clover and I'm still in 'finish the game' mode.
Glad that you finally had a chance to review this and you have a favorable opinion of it. I've had the Japanese Vita release preordered for a few weeks, and can't wait until it arrives so that I can play it on PS TV and on the go. I may pick up the domestic release as well, probably for PS4, but really wish that Degica could have released a physical version locally. I hate to take sales from Degica, but the Japanese physical Vita version is $49.99 from most stores, but the Vita release also doesn't have multiplayer like the PS4 and Steam versions have.
The game seems to be getting some high marks and I'm very glad. I'm a Darius fan and I have most of the older games. Wanted to get the previous release of this on PSP but the prices have been pretty high for a few years now.
"and you have a favorable opinion of it" they got paid by degica to shill the game, of course they have a favorable opinion
for the record I like this game even more than this review claims the channel does but treating paid positive reviews as anything but advertisement is silly. it's even a poor ad to boot.
We got paid by nobody to shill anything. Of course it's a poor "ad", because it's not an ad. It's a review.
***** what did "this made possible by Degica" mean then? from my experience, that stuff just means "this is a promoted video".
Dead Stock Paradise it means we requested a review copy and we got one. we pay for the vast majority of our games otherwise. We've even railed other games we've received the same way in the past. And don't you think if we were such "shills" we would sing the greatest praises of the music too? We didn't like the CS tracks all that much, and we stand by that. Otherwise it's fantastic.
***** alright, I apologize for that comment then.
Really happy just found the PS4 version is finally getting a physical release sometime next year!
We might... MIGHT... just be able to swing a Collectors edition unboxing. MIGHT! We'll see.
I'm not sure if there doing a collectors edition, first i'm hearing of it! I already got the Vita version but oh well I wanted a physical PS4 version so pre ordering it second it's available! Just wish Battle Garegga rev.2016 was getting a physical release instead of that hollow collectors edition with no disc really hope M2 realizes there making a mistake and changes there plans! well I guess complaining enough works Yooka Laylee is now going to have a physical release just like Rez Infinite, physical all the way!
Good to hear. Garegga is still worth it for the rare art in that book, so it's a solid purchase for us. We have the Saturn version anyway!
The DBCS CE was announced in a press release from Degica. We're looking forward to it.
Actually, scratch that, I misread it: it's a "limited" Edition. sorry for the confusion!
[Coury] I'm importing the Vita version so I can have it physical, but will definitely be buying the Steam version for dual monitor support down the road!
+My Life in Gaming I've been playing it on steam. Coury you're going to love it. Trust me on this.
And yes, even I'm going to vouch on the price point as well. Its still a bit high. Luckily there's Family Share and one of my friends has it. I'll be waiting on a hefty price drop before I get my own.
+TheMrMaynard £24 on steam atm.
+SpaceMonkeySalo $40 on steam here in the US. Still a bit much for my taste. I'll keep waiting.
+TheMrMaynard still half the cost of a typical physical release these days with 1000X the content tho! I may yet get a the physical Vita version as well.
+Ser Flash if this was physical then this would have been a day one buy automatically
Wow that backgrounds are awesome
Question- Typically I only buy physical copies of games. I cant decide if I want to throw down for the physical PS4 version or just bite the bullet as they say on the digital Steam version.
The Price of digital vs physical doesn’t matter to me its more about performance, active community and features.
Do you have experience with both versions and would you recommend one over the other?
In all honesty - and as someone with not one, but three digital versions and three physical ones (yes, really) I'd just go digital. The best parts of the game are actually the awesome DLC and they're all digital anyway. Steam gets the edge for frequent sales and the incredible 32:9 double monitor support.
@@StudioMudprints Great I'll do that! I really appreciate your reply, thanks! Love the channel!
I agree everything about this review. Everything is decent until new soundtracks. I was actually upset that the original Burst OST were no where to be found.
Every DariusBurst song is in this game. Both in CS and AC modes.
Just don't take the ADH or ORV route and you're fine.
Besides, Freedom only plays in two zones: at the beginning of the game and at the very last, hidden final stage.
How the hell does one get it to acknowledge a press of the start button for 2 player co-op??? I’m pressing start and nothing happens. So frustrating. Playing on PS4 by the way
I think it has to do with profiles. The controller needs to be attached to the second person playing then it accepts inputs in the game. It was easier on PC.
Whoa! A review for a console? Was beginning to think you were going PC Elitist.
+PonderingGhost We have yet another incoming, totally a whopping 2.5
Well...PC gets most of these shooters, and Xbox 360 too
Correction: TODAY (and the rest of the Winter sale) you can get the game 20% off on Steam so it's only 40$ or 36€!
The wailing track reminds me of Splatoon.
+massivepileup Yet somehow, Splatoon doesn't come off as *that* piercingly terrible though...
Have you heard of Hurricane of the Varstray? It's a new Shmup recently released on Steam by the Japanese Doujin devs who did Trouble Witches, Airrade and Soldier Force. It's really fast paced, hectic and fun, you can tell alot of love went into making it. The music is nice, the scoring is enjoyable, the story is a bit verbose but still interesting. Unfortunately it wasn't featured on Steams New Releases and is selling very poorly since nobody knows it exists. If you guys did a review I think that would help them out alot. It deserves way more attention than what it got.
we wouldn't be able to get to it until episode 146 at the earliest, but I'll look into it.
+cbuma I was a huge fan of Trouble Witches. I'll be looking at that.
Of COURSE they're going to defend the pricing--the episode was sponsored by the publisher of the game.
With that much content, I can understand their argument. Problem is--when similar games are half of the price, if not even more discounted, it's a tough sell.
I'll pick it up when it goes half price myself on Steam.
+The Vinyl Broadcaster We're not sponsored as we get no money or ad revenue. They just supply our parent site with review code and it helps with TH-cam's copyright policies; they have given us consent to use footage for video purposes.
***** I'm very glad that's all it is. Thanks for the great content!
$49.99 ??? thats expensive
I want to pick this game up as soon as i can. The music really is odd. Darius on the Saturn has a much more interesting soundtrack. The price is good for me. It seems like it has tons of content.
yeah because as we know, there's no way the saturn soundtrack was intended to be odd or harsh sounding at all.
hey bullet heaven. Im a big fan of the channel and your footage and insight helped me create my game. Just wanted to know if youd like to review it? I can provide a promo code. Cheers.
+Witherwood Studios Glad to hear we've had a positive impact. We're desperately trying to get the series back on track; we've been on an unintentional hiatus since December, and have amassed a pretty serious backlog of games to review. That said, we'd love to review your game. There's just one catch: we do not have any iOS devices to play this game yet. we should be able to check it out some time in May though.
+Ser Flash Ahh I understand. There is a PC release under consideration if there is enough interest and if the iOS version does well (so maybe Tweet or spread the game around? haha sorry about the blatant promotion tactics). But in all honesty, I really do think it's a relevant game to your channel and gives a breath of fresh air to the genre. Maybe subscribe to my channel to stay updated? Hopefully you will be able to play the game sooner than later. (Ill try to get in contact with you in May!)
I'll definitely get in contact with you when we get our iPad then.
I understand the music is subjective in the end, specially with Cylinder, tho i'd say being weird still the goal of the song. It doesn't feel off or badly composed, because it isn't, but
>a druken karaoke singer with too much confidence and nowehere near enough talent
was just cheap, you can do better, dude
And I have done better. This review is now six years old. Things have changed. However... I still hate the dumb song.
I'll have to get this for PS4.
+Xo na (Matthew Doucette) I spend most of my time on the Vita version for obvious reasons (Gotta cram that practice in before bed!), but the cross save feature works really well.
***** I never thought about that. I love the idea of saving progress to the cloud.
This game has quite possibly one of the greatest soundtracks of all time in a shooter and you guys bash it there goes your credibility.....
And yet, the mere act of claiming we have no credibility over something as subjective as music in a single game? That gives you less. We still liked a lot of the tracks.
By the way, nice thumb up for your own comment.
@@StudioMudprints The girl gave a good review, the guy was a fucking idiot!
That's not nice. Behave.
And thumbing up your own comments again? come on.
@@StudioMudprints Thanks for sharing...
*looks at the top comment*
And then there's you...
Freedom, cringe? Really? I actually think it’s pretty good. I’ve heard much worse.
*cough* *cough*
JET SET RADIO - BIRTHDAY CAKE
*cough* *cough*
From a composition standpoint, sure. But you can't deny a better singer could've made it way less cringe. Four years later, we still stand by it.
You're right though, JSR has some serious supercringe.
