CCG write - "Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ is a fine addition to the Darius series, and a great game for any shoot 'em up fan. I enjoyed it immensely playing solo – and with friends it's even better. Morally it's squeaky clean, unless blowing up aliens that look like spaceships (or space fish) is a problem for you. While the $39.99 asking price may seem steep, when you consider all of the game modes available, it's really a reasonable asking price for a game that keeps on giving. If anything, if you play games on a PS4 or Windows PC, your choice is harder – Chronicle Saviors costs more, but you get a lot more content, too. That game's CS Mode includes 186 additional levels, on top of the entire AC EX game (as mentioned, the Event Mode levels are not present). If you don't have access to a PS4 or PC, and only game on a Switch, then it's a no brainer – Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ is a ton of fun to play, and worth every penny. Highly recommended!"
"Taito’s Darius series has always stood out from other shoot ‘em ups thanks to its unique sea life-themed enemy ships and memorable Zuntata soundtracks. Now, the latest entry Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ has launched on PlayStation and Switch with a handful of new content but without some of the additions from the previous game Chronicle Saviours. Which version is the one to get? That depends," says Co-Optimus.
Games Asylum: "2021 seems like a strange time to release a game based on the career of Pop Idol bronze medallist Darius Danesh."
"Can you believe that after 34 years Taito is still involved in making (or remaking) Darius games? How have they stood the test of time? What is it about Darius that keeps us coming back for more? Akin to its shmup brethren, R-Type and Raiden who are still going, it boils down to one thing. Replayability! More on that later. Let’s talk about where Darius Burst Another Chronicle EX+ came from."
