Dariusburst AC EX Short Review

- Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX
- Developers - Taito, Pyramid, M2
- Publisher - Square Enix
- Switch, PS4
Coming from the gluttonous feast that was Chronicle Saviors, Another Chronicle EX is like showing up to a banquet and only being served an appetizer. Chronicle Saviors, the previous port, sported both a port of the ultrawide arcade game as well the titular CS mode, with a brand new campaign formatted for 16:9 widescreen, new songs, and an upgrade system, as well as extensive DLC support with shooter crossovers from other companies.
Another Chronicle EX is more or less a straight, no frills port of the arcade game, with the previously missing event mode restored, and the new ship from Chronicle Saviors added. None of the M2 gadgets have been added, and no concessions have been made for the 16:9 presentation, save a not so useful zoom function.
At almost the same price as Chronicle Saviors, Another Chronicle is charging full admission to eat another party’s leftovers.
