Can someone bring me up to speed on this? Is there a physical DBCS on the PS4? Or only on the Vita?

Cheers

The only physical release that was produced is for Japanese Vita. All other flavors are digital only (and there's a digital version of the JP Vita release, too).

I did it! I finally completed Yaruhin!
My God, f**k that stage. F**k it to hell.

I understand what a difficulty curve is, but they sure as hell don't. Throwing G.T.V at you at the end of 12 zones just a few stages after Great Thing is introduced, and right before a stupid 4-boss-long Second stage, is not a good difficulty curve. Or maybe they just wanted to add breather levels after those difficulty spikes, who knows.

Wait, Crimson Nightmare is the only boss in the game not to have generic colored smoke/fog as background? Weird. Much appreciated, though.

Man, the second half of GTV's stage in Arcade Ex mode sure is crazy. Love it.

The "fog" is modeled somewhat after Jupiter's atmosphere, and is a callback to the original Darius where it was more apparent.

I really don't think you can kill the Rulers on the first burst laser. I've tried using fixed laser and shooting it as much as I could, and it still required the second "round" or burst to get the counter-kill.

If I'm wrong, then I would also love to know!

Is there any way to translate all the Japanese text to English? Or, alternately, is there a place I can go on the web that will show me (in English) what the various menu choices are? Just got it in today, and want to know more of what I'm selecting.

Thanks!

I think he's talking about the attack where Violent Ruler curls up in a ball and spins around with its lasers (its third pattern) - the number of times it repeats this pattern is determined randomly as far as I know, and that can affect how much damage you've done by the time the first or second burst laser comes. For example, in my video of Golden Ruler the boss does it three times. I don't know any solution to this unfortunately, I haven't tried seriously scoring with Next.

What parts do you need translated? The settings? I could take some screenshots of the Steam version if it's just that, though I don't know how well that would correspond with the Vita version. Or maybe there's a video out there where someone goes into the settings menu. Most of the other menus are pretty self-explanatory I think - you've got AC mode, where you select Original, EX, or Chronicle mode, select default lives or infinite lives, select your zone, then select your ship, and you've got CS mode, in which you just select missions on the map and either go with the preset ship or use your points to unlock other ships to use. The loading screen panels in AC mode are untranslated in the English release, too.

It's very possible to kill him on the first counter burst. You just need to use the fixed-burst on him during his laser spins.
However it's completely random if he does the laser spin once, twice or thrice in a row and you need him to do it at least twice.
If he doesn't, you have to wait ages before he does the counter burst again and your score is pretty much fucked.
So yeah H scoring with the fixed-burst ships is completely decided by the roll of a dice at the end of the run.

Yeah, that would certainly be a helpful start for me. It'd maybe at least help me know what I'm selecting and such. Thank you!

On the Steam version the last choice in the settings dialog is language selection, you may want to check to see if it's there in the Vita version.

That explains it. I'm usually cowering behind a fixed burst during spins instead of aiming at it (especially for Savage Ruler, jfc). Thanks!

Unfortunately, the versions differ here. There is nothing in the OPTIONS menu about language choice at all. Perhaps I'm just SOL...but I'm still enjoying the experience, anyway. Just wish I could tell more of what's going on.

"Complaints"? Asking for help translating the text hardly constitutes complaining...

I pre-ordered via Play-Asia and NCSX. The NCSX package arrived last week, but I haven't received the Play-Asia package. What's funny, I swore I canceled my Play-Asia order after I placed my NCSX order. Yet, they still charged and shipped it.

What's the saying, one to play with and one to collect? :lol:

New patch out for Steam version.
Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours r5131 Update note
  • Adding support for 21:9 Ultrawide aspect monitor.
  • Fix to the CS stages that had no BGM.
  • Fix to the ASSAULT Spark Burst setting, using Spark Burst was using too little of the burst gauge.

Can we get a confirmation that was a tweak to CS mode only? Or is that across the board?...

Haven't tried it out yet, but I think Arcade mode should be affected as well. I knew something was fishy with the Assault's Burst as it indeed used up the gauge much faster when I played at the arcade.

I'm just curious, is there no continuing in the AC Mode? Timer keeps counting down no matter how many times I hit "Options" on my controller after all my lives are gone.

On the Steam version, Enter is used to continue. The dedicated button on a controller ought to be different.

It's "Share" on PC and the Touch Pad (supposedly) on PS4.
On PC, Options/Start is used to speed up the countdown. Perhaps it's the same on PS4.
