The Silver Hawk offers a unique feature called a capture ball which allows you to capture enemies. After some practice, it definitely feels good to be able to use them less and make long runs without dying, but it’s also nice that everyone who wants to can see everything G-Darius has to offer. This is one of those shooters that all of us who aren’t incredibly hardcore will be glad offers unlimited continues. Building them again can feel nearly impossible in the game’s later stages. This is one of those shooters where despite having a lot of lives, one death can feel like a game over because your weapons will reset. Sub bosses and bosses, in particular, can take a ton of damage to defeat, particularly if your weapons reset. Foes flood the screen, leaving you very tight holes to rush through.
That’s good, because your enemies quickly grow ferocious as well. Colored ships you’ll face along the way drop upgrades, letting you power your weapon up until it’s truly ferocious. You’ll fly through mostly horizontal levels, taking out a ton of mechanical fish and eventually ending up against some fearsome bosses. Your ship, the Silver Hawk, is fast and agile with excellent controls. The difficulty ramps up in a major way when you get further into the game, but there’s a lot of variety here to keep you playing. You’ll rock your way through five levels, from a selection of fifteen possibilities. Just like in the original release, G-Darius is still an action-packed shooter.
#Gswitch upcoming games update#
While the developers could have perhaps done a bit more to update it, this is still a game well worth the time of genre fans. This update of a fantastic late 90s shooter provides a fresh coat of paint on what was already an excellent title. While I found the recent Dariusburst: Another Chronicle EX+ a bit underwhelming, I’m glad to say G-Darius HD is far more up my alley. I’ve always had a soft spot for the Darius series.
