TAITO and ININ Games have announced that the classic DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ is coming back digitally and physically for PS4 and Nintendo Switch. DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ is a new revision of DariusBurst AC and comes with gorgeous new 3D graphics along with plenty of improvements and new features to cater to modern gamers.
The original title was released around 10 years ago, and the original team is now back to working on this new version of the game. DariusBurst series started its life on PSP back in 2009 and it was greatly expanded upon with new features and improved visuals for the 2010 arcade release. Developed by Pyramid Inc., the game will not only include new features of the arcade version of ‘Another Chronicle EX’ but also additional features like new missions and a replay mode.
DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ features a deep-sea sci-fi setting as it is clearly evident from the oceanic-themed bosses of the game. The bosses are inspired by a mix of sci-fi and deep-sea creatures as the bosses are designed to look like deep-sea creatures, but they are actually large mechanical battleships. This boss design is iconic for the franchise and the reboot follows the same theme.
The game will also feature the action-packed gameplay that the franchise is known for. Depending on your choice, you can either blast your enemies with your lasers or use them as shields against their fire. You can also take advantage of your enemy fire and asteroids and use them to recharge your shields.
The game features an ultra-broad screen which is modeled after the dual display of the arcade version. TAITO’s in-house sound team Zuntata has created the soundtrack for the game which features powerful beats and emotional tunes. Key features of DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ include:
- Local co-op for up to 4 players
- 4 game modes and all new and exclusive scenarios
- High replayability with branching stages
- Modern HD graphics and a great atmospheric soundtrack
- Face off against more than 40 gigantic battleships
- Make strategic use of the versatile Burst Beam to destroy the evil Belsar Forces
- For the first time, take flight in the Silver-Hawk Murakumo in all modes
Pre-orders for the digital and physical release of DariusBurst Another Chronicle EX+ for both PS4 and Nintendo Switch are expected to launch soon. For additional details, you can follow ININ Games on their official website.
