Any tips for Darius Gaiden? I like the aesthetics and music a lot, and the gameplay is simple but fun, but holy shit these space fish keep destroying me
>implying the loud shmupfags even play their gamesIt's telling whenever there's a genuine shmup thread they're nowhere to be seen

Play the game, memorize enough to plan a route to your taste and execute. I don't know, I've owned the collection for years probably and still but haven't beaten it.
>>12077592Look for an easy path. If you struggle with a zone, detour on your next run to avoid it.
Did you guys know that "Gai-den" is Japanese for "side story?" That would make this Darius Side Story, or in other words, a side story of Darius.

Don't get hit.desu, that sounds like a joke, but that's the actual strat for Darius. Your powers will stack exponentially, and it's significantly easier to clear later parts of the game if you just don't die.Good luck.
>>12077592Can't figure the controls. You switch weapons as get more, right? It's not like gradius. YouTube shills praise it. Skill issue? It's 35 years old. Gonna be a no from me dawg
>>12077592Use auto-fire, pick an easy route (like ABEHLQV), and plan your bombs. Bosses get a lot of extra HP every time your weapon upgrades into a new type, so some people avoid the final upgrade for a shorter lived end boss, but that of course makes it harder to get there.

>>12077592AFAIK most of the people who play it signifcantly use autofire30hz will make the first few levels EZPZ, if that feels too easy you can set it a bit lower
>>12079091Your weapons linearly upgrades as you pick up items. Once it's fully upgraded it will transform into a new weapon, first it becomes a beam that penetrates enemies, then one that penetrates both enemies and inhert obstacles.If you die your weapon reverts back to a previous form. Stop using your age as an excuse like a little pussy and go 1cc the game, it's really not that hard.

>>12077592It's a tough game, just enjoy it though since it's one that will take you some time and won't be one you just rush through and never play again.Once the first player ship is out of lives, I always just switch the controller to the player 2 slot and then continue with the 2nd player ship. That gets you some extra time/levels, but yeah still tough.
