The story of DonPachi/DoDonPachi

Post by IDruggedShamu »

I was reading the DonPachi wiki for fun today.... And got to thinking... I know absolutely nothing about the story of this series. Anyways, is there like a site or a good write up/reading on the actual story spanning the series?

Wikipedia outlines it in what I assume is a complete and correct manner. Pretty dark stuff for the type of game it is, esp DonPachi with its... unique voice over. Reminds me a little of Ender's Game.

Oh, ok. I wasn't sure if the Wiki sources were correct or even adequet. I've been on a DonPachi/Dodonpachi kick for the longest time and would like to understand the story behind them all... makes it much more worthwhile/interesting. Thanks.

The PAL DFK manual goes over the story and characters of that game in English pretty in-depth.

Why do you skip the ending scenes but care about the story? At least read it once, takes all of a minute out of your time. Anyway since you have the iOS ports, just read the stories they have typed up in the history section.
What are you trying to tell me, that I can dodge bullets?
