Darius R

Released2002
Darius R is a shoot em up video game released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance only in Japan. This game is a remixed version of Darius, which reuses assets from the original game. Due to the small resolution of the GBA, and since the game never scales the large Arcade sprites, the camera follows the the player up and down to compensate. While the first stage is more or less based on the first stage from the original game, the remaining stages are all exclusive to this title, featuring unique background graphics and remixed tracks from previous titles in the series. Stages can be replayed once they are beaten in the regular Arcade Mode.

About This Game

In Darius, Year 201, the Belsar assault the peaceful Darius system with overwhelming firepower. The planetary defense fleet is wiped out in a single engagement. With nothing left to protect them, the people brace for the end. Then — from out of the dark — a single light appears in the sky. Silverhawk. Named for the bird-shaped fighter that embodies it, the ship rises from the embers of a burning world as the planet's last, faint hope of survival.
