A structured look at the narrative, game feel, and traits that define this game.

Story & context

Dariusburst takes place a century after Darius II where the planet Darius is continually attacked by the Belser Army. The continuing battles show a possible end to the long wars on Darius, particularly with the development of the Burst System, a powerful new weapon equipped with the latest Silver Hawk fighters. Using this new weapon system are pilots Riga Pratica, test pilot of the Silver Hawk Burst series, and Ti2 a computer AI assuming the body of a young girl. Together, the pilots fight the Belser Army back against its fleets, factories and even its previously inhabited fortresses.
