Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX Arcade

Dariusburst keeps with the same gameplay systems from previous installments, with the player's ship being equipped with forward-firing shots, bombs and a shield.

New to this installment is the Burst mechanic, which replaces the Alpha Beam mechanic from G-Darius. By pressing the Burst button, the player ship will fire a thick laser forward which rapidly consumes the meter at the bottom, while quickly tapping the button twice will fix the laser cannon in place, consuming less meter. Depending on the ship's mechanics, releaseing the fire button with the Burst laser in place will make it turn either in the ship's direction or to the opposite direction, giving it more strategic uses. Additionally, bosses also come equipped with their own Burst Cannons, allowing the player to counter them with their own by pressing the button at the exact time the boss cannon is fired or by moving into the boss's laser and pressing the button as the laser hits the ship; this will strenghten the player's laser while allowing it to consume less meter. The meter constantly refills by destroying enemies.

The game allows from 1 and up to 4 players to play at a time; the largest amount of players possible in any Darius game. The players may choose between playing Default Entry, with 3 ships per coin, or Infinite Ships Entry, with infinite ships at the cost of additional coins and forfeit of the players' highscore.

EX adds two new game modes:

Original EX Mode

Standard gameplay through 3 zones from a selection of 12 new and harder zones (O-Z) start on and continues through two more zones in traditional fashion.

Event Mode

Online missions with varying selections of ships, lives, power-up configurations and bosses.

And four more ships:

2nd (from Darius II)
Gaiden (from Darius Gaiden)
Assault (Blue)
Genesis (from G-Darius)

Genesis, Gaiden and 2nd have the exact same appearance as Origin. Although Gaiden and 2nd are officially red, and Genesis and Origin are officially orange, this palette change does not make a visual difference as they change to the player's color. First player is red, second player is blue, third player is green and fourth player is orange.
