Nice, but drawn out, horizontally scrolling shoot ‘em up. Darius has always had a style of it’s own and that is much of where it’s appeal lays. The bosses are very original and have some quite impressive detail and the levels are generally sorta nice, if repetitive. The only trouble with the Darius games is that once you lose your weapons, you may as well kiss your whole game goodbye as it can be very difficult to recover. So one for the die hard shoot ‘em up freaks only.

GRAPHICS: Great design, large boss sprites, but better enemies would have been welcome.

SOUND: A trifle bizarre and more than a little spooky, but there’s something great about those tunes.
