I see Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours has appeared on Steam, at the rather eye-watering price of £29.99. (Although apparently they're after £49.99 on PS4? :o )

A very positive review at Eurogamer - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... urs-review

And well regarded (from a limited pool of reviews) at Metacritic - http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstat ... e-saviours

I'm a huge fan of the Darius arcade games (I remember first seeing the original immense three-screen cabinet at an arcade in Blackpool in the 80s and being totally blown away by it), and have revisited the whole series over the years for many, many hours in MAME. (Darius Gaiden in particular I can play and play and play.)

For £15 I'd probably have dived straight in with Chronicle Saviours, but £30 is a bit too rich for a single shmup. I've added it to my wishlist and will wait for a sale.

Never in the history of Steam has a game had 'more than half off in the next sale' written over it more than this one.

This is down to £23.99 already. Not long until it's a tenner, I reckon.

Post subject:  Re: Shmups

Why is Dariusburst still £30 on Steam? That's what I want to know.

It was down at £24 for a brief period of time but I'm targeting £15, or ideally a tenner.

I shouldn't be such a tightarse really but then again I do have an entire MAME-ful of fantastic shooters that I can play whenever I want.

Post subject:  Re: Shmups

@thevision, have you tried gunbird in tate mode on thew switch, it seems to map the controls wrong

Bought raiden V.. it's a bit noisy with so much stuff happening around you (like cheers from / to other players), so it lacks a bit the purity to really zone in for me

And.. Zerogunner now out... for 6 euros i guess i buy it... http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018- ... sibilities

You're right. The controller orientation was automatically set to rotate but when it's 'normal' it works fine in tate mode.

Post subject:  Re: Shmups

I saw your twitter message too, thanks for that, but i didn't manage to do it well..

1. i tried -> rotating display 90 degrees, rotating controls -> direction works, but not buttits on the bottom, since the dead doubles the direction, only on the top of the screen, which feels horrible.. According to the onscreen instructions it should work ('A' and ' ->' should double) , but it doesn't ..

2. i now tried setting it to normal, the directional keys work rotated... (so not playable)...

Man, really loving this ketsui version...

- all the arrangements included (in the disc version)
- the game as brilliant as ever (only played on game before)
- the booklet is quite nice (and thanx to the wonders of google translate sort of readable)
- and the 'gadgets' actually are interesting

herre's a little video i made..


on the left you see a number of numbers related to the various bonus systems, most importantly, the nearby sensor... and you see how effective your shots is, think that make me a better player..

on the right you see either a map or boss info..

I can't get on to that site at work—do they say anything about a Western release? I've already got a slightly borked Nintendo account thing due to someone messing around with CFW stuff on my Switch, and don't like the idea of setting up more for one game.

The only thing that they say about a Western release is:-

Quote:
This mode is likely aimed at the Japanese mobile crowd who enjoy Gacha games, and if it sells more copies of ESP Ra.De., then it's no bad thing – even if western players might not be able to fully enjoy it (let's hope that a release outside of Japan happens).

Quote:
Hopefully, this superb package will see a western release in the fullness of time so an even wider audience can sample its myriad delights.


Is the only thing that mentions it - getting a Japanese account on there is easy to do but if your worried then maybe give it a little while to see if they do a western release.
