How do the Darius games rank among shmups, let me ask you that

They're pretty alright. Solid shmup series.

Gaiden has an amazing soundtrack

>> No.6287468

The SNES ones are not so good. Get Sagaia on Sega Genesis/Megadrive or Darius 2 on Pc Engine
G-Darius and Darius Gaiden are my favorites.

I love Darius Twin (SNES) but it seems to be disliked out of the bunch.

Same i also liked Darius Force (Super Nova) on the SNES. Darius Burst (PSP original, ported to other platforms) is terrible, i really don't like that one.

The whole gimmick of Darius 1 is the 3 CRT setup

Metal Black was alright, similar to Gaiden in some ways.

Had the european version for the Master System II. They changed the name to Sagaia. Shit was impossible to beat for me at the time. I decided to give it a try again a couple of years a go. Shit is impossible to beat for me right now too.

Einhander feels like a tech demo.
For a shmup its not very good.
Cutscenes and boring stage design don't help it either.

G-Darius is much much better.

fairly low in my book; there are easily 30 other shmups I' say are better than the best Darius game, which is Gaiden.

unironically Darius Gaiden is one of the most psychedelic games I've ever played
