Ratings and reviews

Great port of a PlayStation Portable shoot em up, controls designed for touchscreen, really good soundtrack, unlockable mission mode, new ships, production art and 3D models, they put a lot into this. It's pricey, but you're getting a port of a full console game. Only minor problem I encountered was a bit of frame skipping when massive bosses first show up on screen.

Not the full version of the game. This version is fine, but lacks some of the basic things that made Dariusburst. First, the ship cannot flip to shoot the other way, in other words you can only shoot to the right of the screen. Secondly, the assault ship automatically launches it's burst instead of holding on to it and letting go when wanted. Good game otherwise

Re review I still play this game from time to time even after changing from phone to phone. But with later phone models also came a growing issue. The aspect ratio of the game would not be aligned right with screen as it tried fix itself horizontally, the vertical part of the game screen would be cut off from the top. Older model phones would let me fix the ratio of the app manually to fix the issue but with the latest phone I have, that setting is no longer present making the game unplayable.

What's new

Bug fix.
