Darius Twin for SNES


Image: MobyGames

Darius Twin

Fast and full of fish


Genre: shooter - horizontal

Publisher: Taito

Year: 1991

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 3

Gameplay Notes:

No continues. Fast movement. Too fast imho. Most of my deaths came from flying into a projectile while moving around. Power ups add directional bombs and lasers which are quite weak. They look cool but rarely kill anything. Enemies take a lot of hits. Two player co-op! Have to hold down on two buttons to shoot


Level Design Score: 4

Level Design Notes:

Really enjoy the variety of settings, like a cityscape, then coming thru space. Enemy waves come one after the next and have variety to them.


Theme Score: 4

Theme Notes:

Typical setting but feels epic and is introduced via a nice cutscene. The fish-themed enemies make for a unique and memorable theme.


Art Style Score: 4

Art Style Notes:

Very fast with no slowdown Interesting sprites Tons of parallax scrolling


Audio Score: 4

Audio Notes:

Exciting, jazzy music


Overall Score: 70

Review ID: 128
