The | | difficulty of the game is considered to be lower than that of | | Darius II. | | | | So called black hole bombs have been added, that damage enemies | | and neutralize projectiles, but also sucks in power ups. Not | | using any of these yeilds a special score bonus at the end of the | | game, but is tied to not using continues. | | | | Stages are selectable in the usual branching path fashion after | | defeating a boss, with the "upper" routes typically being easier | | to clear. However, the upper routes also offer more scoring | | chances, which goes against the usual risk vs. reward design in | | arcade games, and as the high score table is not dictated by | | path, the only reason to use a different route is to see each of | | the different stages and endings. | | | | Strangely autofire, a common feature in shooting game ports, is | | missing from options. It must be activated by a cheat code. | | | | The game has a dynamic difficulty level, depending on power ups | | collected, survival time and so on. | | : <------------------------------------------------------------------------>> __/ |_ \\_ Group Notes |/ | .................................................................. | | | | We dump for all the retro lovers out there in our glorious scene! | | | | If you were able to get your hands on our releases and feel like | | you want to contribute, try to find us.
