VGChartz's Evan Norris: "At $29.99, G-Darius HD might seem steep for an HD remaster of a 24-year-old arcade shooter, but if you're a fan of shoot-em-ups it's absolutely worth the price of admission. This is the finest version of one of the best horizontal shooters ever made, frame rate issues notwithstanding. It retains the best elements of the original — outstanding art, mesmerizing music, and exceptional gameplay — and pairs it will new quality-of-life features and bonus options."
"ININ Games and TAITO are today very pleased and excited to announce that they have just released a brand-new major update for their side-scrolling shooter "G-Darius HD" (the new update is available right now for the PS4 and Nintendo Switch)." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"The spirit of old-school gaming is alive and well so here are the very best retro experiences, classic game collections, and revivals of 2021." - A.J. Maciejewski from Video Chums
"One installment of Taito’s Darius series of shoot ‘em ups that hasn’t always gotten enough love is G-Darius, the 1997 entry that marked the series’ transition to 3D graphics while maintaining 2D gameplay. That game is now easier to appreciate than ever thanks to ININ Games and M2’s recent release of G-Darius HD on PlayStation and Switch. This new version adds higher resolution graphics and handy emulation features while maintaining the series’ beloved 2-player local co-op shooting action," says Co-Optimus.
