ダライアス1と2と外伝が遊べるのでおすすめです。 自分はダライアス1をゲーセンで、2はメガドラ、 外伝はサターンでやってたのでBGMが脳に焼き付いています。 やっぱり1は敵が出る間があっていい感じにプレイできる気がします。 2は難しいですがコンティニューしまくってクリアって感じです。 外伝はショットをかなりパワーアップできて、ボムもあるので爽快感を味わえます。 BGMが脳に焼き付いているので心地よい気分でプレイしてます。
Amis Retrogameurs cette compil est pour vous ! De loin la meilleure compil de Darius avec les memes bugs et ralentissement d epoques ! Vos yeux vont saignes avec les graphismes ! Les commandes sont un peu lourdes sur certains episodes mais repondent correctement Une base historisque a l histoire des shoot em up et si vous etes de la meme generation que moi , vous devez en connaitre certains sur versions 8 bits ! Un mode triche est un GRAND plus apporte a cette compil qui pour moi depasse largement Darius HD ! Interet : 13/20 Realisation : 11/20

A solid collection of some legendary games. Now, if we were doing more nuanced ratings, it wouldn't be getting a 10/10 from me - it ought to have a couple more games (instead of 4 games with eleventy billion near-identical versions of each) and maybe a tad bit more options for graphical filters and so on. In terms of value for money, it could stand to be a bit cheaper or have a bit more of those games and/or filters I just talked about. And also, given multiplayer is a decent part of the Darius experience - online co-op would've been an excellent feature (unless it's somehow there and I haven't noticed it.) But still - yeah, I've got some complaints, but come on - it's Darius, and despite a couple of small shortcomings, in terms of accuracy it's spot-on - you might even say pixel-perfect (ba-dum-tshhh). It's an accurate rendition of one of the greatest shooters from the golden age of shooters, as well as a few of its sequels - which are also excellent games that are competently done here. If you love Darius, or even are (like me) just a big fan of 2D shooters in general, you will love this. Also, while we're at it, I'll never miss an opportunity to say this - people who call this genre "shmups" should get approached fast by a giant battleship and fail to press Continue in time, IRL. Have a nice day <3
steam版では振動再現可能と書かれてありましたが、サブウーファーをデスクトップであればどの端子に繋げれば認識されるのかわかりません。誰か詳しい方コメントをお願いします。
Pretty fun shmup series. Reminds me of Sega's Outrun because of the variety of routes that can be taken but of course is an entirely different gaming genre. I like that I can take advantage of my ultrawide monitor and the games also support multiple monitor setups though I can't comment on how good that is. There is one thing to note about Darius 2. It seems that initially Darius 2 was a double monitor game but a later version was designed for triple monitors. This collection only includes the original version which still fits great on an ultrawide. However, the triple monitor version is not included but was instead ported to consoles of all things. That is such a shame. Not that I have anything against consoles but they don't even support multple monitor setups or aspect ratios beyond 16:9. It just seems like a waste to have the widest screen version isolated to hardware that can't support it properly. But I suppose that it probably won't matter if you're sitting directly in front of a 75" tv so...I guess there's that. Anyways, what's here is great and if you're new to shmups then this is a great place to start.
The Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade covers the early arcade games of Taito's venerable shoot 'em up series. With 7 total versions, and several common and not so common assists. The basics the Darius series is your spaceship has a regular shot and arcing bomb shot. Each linked to separate buttons if the player wishes to fire them independently. Or for players like me, fire both at the same time. Fortunately, this collection also offers a turbo button to save the player's thumb. The regular shot and bomb can slowly be ungraded by collection the appropriate colored orb. Red for the shot, green for bomb. As well as collect blue shield orbs that allow the player to be hit by enemies, enemy projectiles and the terrain itself a few times before blowing up. And these upgrades are key to making it any distance into the game. As they dramatically decrease the difficulty while the player has them. However, losing a ship lowers the level of both weapons and has no shields. Like many STGs of this era, if the player is trying to make it anywhere in the latter game with just the basic weapons, it can be just about impossible. Which is one of the biggest flaws with nearly all the games in this collection. Fortunately, there is a 'training' mode that allows the player to adjust their power-ups and see how these games play with them. Honestly, being overpowered is a blast. Other than that, the games often feel like refinements of the same game. Sure early on their was the gimmick of a double-screen. Which you better have a huge monitor to make much of anything out. And each game does have its own subtle style. But this collection is not going to feel like 7 different shumps. More like the same shump with about 3 arrangements and each having a couple different modes on top of that. For shump fans, I recommend this collection. Especially if you like classic, old school STGs that really reward memorization and precise routing. But these games might be a bit unapproachable for casual shump fans or non-fans. Even with all the assists. As they are products of their time when shooters were still relatively new.
Nice Game !!!!
명작 슈팅게임 보스들이 수중생물인걸로 유명한 타이토의 슈팅게임 다라이어스1,2,다라이어스 외전을 묶어서 파는 컬렉션 엄청난 적의 탄속과 파워업하지 않으면 버틸수없는 후반부, 보스에서 시간지나면 나를 죽이려오는 큐브들, 무자비한 보스, 죽으면 모두 초기화등 정말 어려웠습니다. 1편은 세이브로드신공으로 겨우깼어요. 2편은 포기 진짜 너무 어려워서 파워업도 너무 안나오고 정말 이걸 옛날에 플레이하던 사람들은 얼마나 강한사람들이었는지 모르겠어요. 그래도 오랜만에 옛날 슈팅게임 감성을 많이 느꼈습니다. 그리고 외전 슈팅게임계의 명작아닐까 3D와 2D을 섞은거같은 그래픽, 휼룽한 보스연출 , 멋진 패턴들, 기본샷도 괜찮고 파워업도 잘나오며 죽으면 일정량 보급해주고 봄추가까지 정말 엄청 발전했습니다. 완전 불합리한 난이도가 아닌 여러번암기하면 플레이가능한 난이도인게 마음에 드네요. 그리고 특히 브금이 끝내줍니다. 몽환적이라고 밖에 할수없는 zuntata의 음악이 귀를 감싸니 역시 게임의 브금은 아주 중요하다는 생각이 듭니다. 인터페이스도 유용하고 그래픽도 깔끔하고 이가격에도 살만한 작품입니다. 기판사는것보다 싸게먹히니까요.
A bit overpriced, even when in sale, but it's a great collection of classic Darius games and is packed with content. Works well with my Xbox controller. Multi-monitor Support makes it epic!
If you're getting this, you probably already know what you're getting into. Classic quarter-munching arcade games with high difficulty. It's great if you're into the series and/or a challenge. Be aware that the controls are designed for a gamepad.
