The return of the legendary Darius on PSP

Darius is a shooter scrolling created in 1986 by Taito.Corp. It was first released in arcade and was adapted in 1989 for Amiga, Atari ST, Game Boy, TurboGrafx, PC Engine, ZX Spectrum, Super Nintendo, and more recently on PS1 and PS2.

 The originality of Darius on his release is that the arcade is composed of 2 or 3 screens aligned to faithfully reproduce the feeling of scrolling and able to move freely over a larger area, which was already a big technical feat for the time. The versions for consoles then they do not offer a single screen.

 The scenario Darius remains faithful to that of a shoot'em up, ie there is none. Your mission is to cleanse planets of monsters that have invaded.

 Taito Corp. has decided to highlight a new version of his hit called Darius who burst on PSP. Faithful to the principles that brought success to the version of 80/90 years, it will be possible at the end of each level, to select its next stage as a tree of evolution, which thus affects the course of history. A total of 11 courses will be offered to the player.
