Carl Williams writes, "Dariusburst proves the horizontal shooter has plenty of life left. Sadly, the horizontal shooter genre is a dying breed. Companies are just not making them like they used to. I remember during the 16-Bit era the love that horizontal scrolling shooters got. Their close cousin, the overhead scrolling shooter, was often bemoaned within the press of the time. Now, we have a plethora of overhead shooters on Android and iOS, a few side scrolling shooters and not much of either on “traditional” consoles and hand-held devices. That is a shame. Dariusburst proves that this needs to change and change quick. Taito still have it and this game just shows that in exquisite detail."
Capcom has published a special feature detailing the story behind development of the Sengoku Basara series on its investor relations website.
The story is a narrated account featuring series producer Hiroyuki Kobayashi and director Makoto Yamamoto. It details a 2003 Capcom whose business was in dire straits, and who were focusing on sequels to hit titles that would guarantee success. When Kobayashi proposed the idea for a new kind of action game, Capcom was reluctant, but company president Kenzo Tsujimoto gave him the green light. The game’s team was mocked within the company at first, as most believed it to be a game that would never sell, but what ultimately came to fruition was something that the entire company had faith in.
Carl Williams writes, "Dariusburst was previously available on Playstation Portable (exclusive to Japan) and now, thanks to Taito, it is available on Android and iPhone. For those of you reading this that have never played a Darius game, aka Sagaia, you are in for a treat if you like a challenge. If not well, um, play something else. Darius has never really been at the forefront of side scrolling shooters but it certainly has kept a certain level of quality with each release- quite a feat. Now, Android and iPhone gamers will be able to enjoy Taito’s newest entry in the Darius brand."
