Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours |OT| A local couch co-op shmup in 2015, aw yiss.
Sigh... Do any Cave games actually have interesting powerup systems or is it just the "collect POWs until maximum attack" stuff with a button to switch between super wide rapid spread shot and a focussed attack most bullet hells have? I like the Murakumo in the base game because it has complexity to its abilities like switching weapons for different situations and sacrificing standard firepower to run the burst attack, my least favorite DLC ships are those that just shoot and super-attack.

PS4 and Vita versions are on sale through Monday morning as part of the current Flash Sale. I finally got the PS4 version.
Booted up my Vita copy for the first time in months and discovered my save file is gone. Downloaded the cloud backup and it still completely resets my progress. That stings a bit.

Finally picked this bad boy and booted it up this morning.
Totally went under my radar, bought the PS4 version and now I'm considering the Vita version (depending if it's a good port). Playing it made me realize how I missed this series. And the soundtrack is amazing. Didn't know Michiru Yamane was involved somehow. I'll probably pick up the OST also.

The third round of DLC comes out next week (December 15)--it's a CAVE pack with ships, systems, music etc from Dodonpachi Resurrection, Deathsmiles and Ketsui:

The Cave DLC is out now!
The release date and price for the PS4 disc version have also been revealed: it'll be released in Japan on March 30 for 5800 yen.
They're also doing a limited-edition package for 9800 yen; it'll come with an arrange CD (the Cave/Raizing DLC music), a 3-piece set of Silver Hawk Burst figures in the 2P/3P/4P colours (no pictures but they're based on the existing Shooting Game Historica figures by Takara Tomy) and new box art.

The video makes it look really impressive.
I only picked up the other two DLC packs a couple of days ago in a sale and I love what they did with them. I don't think that I need any more content at the moment but after trying the previous DLC, I'll definitely be getting to at some point.
If I was buying any of this type of content today then the PS4 version of Battle Garegga would be first stop although I'm doing my best to resist...at the moment.

Kinda want that premium pack to complement my existing silverhark figure, lol.
No idea when the new DLC will hit Europe right?
I have the Japanese Vita version (as well as the EU PS4/Vita games), but DLC is such a mess on the Vita with the one account limit, so I don't bother with it.
Will definitely pick up the Japanese physical PS4 edition as well though.
Actually, this thread just made me order Instant Brain for 360 even though I have Dodonpachi on both Saturn and PSone.
And then I also caved and ordered Bullet Soul and Bullet Soul Infinite Burst...
This shit is definitely an addiction at this point. ;P

No. Vanilla version.
Cheers. I'll still pick this up.
Here's a link for the Deathsmiles dlc playthrough.

I can't tell you that but it hopefully won't be too long as these were the most recent three patch notes...
Code:
[B]v1.06[/B] - Adding CAVE DLC
Code:
[B]v1.07[/B] - Minor DLC Adjustments
Code:
[B]v1.08[/B] - Fix a rare crash bug that could happen with new ship
Yes, you can:
Ty. Will buy
Yes, you can:
In fact you have to for the DLC ships. Or at least I did, they didn't have any usable default bindings.
So... tried out EX Extreme mode and... wow, that's some sadistic stuff. I wonder if anyone's ever 1cc it? x_X
Zone X will give me nightmares.
The CAVE DLC ships are REALLY GOOD tho. I'm impressed with how close they handle to their original counterparts. Although I keep losing armor and not realizing it because the damage sound is different.

Also, DLC pages for the new 8ing ships are up.
Seems like a lot more love went into the mechanics of these ships.

I think it's gone as low as $19.99 but that's still a great price.

I always was wondered about the silver balls that you sometimes find by shooting the ground. Is it random how many points you get for collecting it, or is there some reason or cause for the points being really low or high?

Late to the partyyyy!!! ...Anyone here? I bought the game in the Steam sale.
This game is fun as hell! I only played the CS mode so far. It's getting hard really fast. :O Is it recommended to grind for a certain alternative ship or am I just bad?
I read the pdf and I'm slowly understandig the basic scoring mechanics and the counterburst.
Tips are welcome.

Practice the counter burst as much as you can. Even if you don't need it against an easy boss, do it anyway to learn the timing. Knowing the timing is life and death against the hardest bosses, especially the ones with bursts that aren't straight lines.
Most of the early ships have a second static burst option, which is extremely valuable for setting up a shield against incoming shots. Learn this because it's tricky to do and also different for different ships.
And in general you just need to know the routine for every model of boss from beginning to end. If you're getting surprised by anything you probably won't survive.
Since the game is currently on sale in Europe, I was wondering if it's worth paying the extra 3 for the PS4 version. I don't plan to play it with friends since none of my friends are into shmups so it comes down to the extra digital artbook and the game performance, is there any slowdown or issues with the PS Vita version?
Really good advise, not much else to add really. I'd also suggest to watch superplay videos on youtube, you can learn a lot from that.

Anyway to stretch this out to full screen on ps4? Every screen shot I've seen makes it look badly letterboxed

That part of the game is a straight port of an arcade game that used two 16:9 monitors side to side. If you want it to be full screen then you have to get the pc version and use two monitors. There are home only modes however that use just the single sceen fully, but in my opinion they dont work as well with the smaller visable area and reduced room to manuever.

the screen is too small and doesn't have the resolution to adequately display the 32:9 play area with the necessary fidelity, can be very difficult to see what is going on at times. go for the ps4 or pc version.
That's what I thought, thanks a lot for your help, I guess I'll top my psn wallet to grab the PS4 version (I'm 1 short).

Thanks (also @ ChryZ), so basically I'll just continue to practice and "get good".
What is the most essential DLC for this game? I love the cave games but maybe one of the others makes the most sense and has the best content?Agent Unknown

So how many extra stages actually come with these DLC packs? I'm thinking of getting the Raizing/Eighting pack (will be my first DLC for the game) and in addition to the three Eighting exclusive stages it says it also gives access to "The Eighting pack, 10 newly arranged stages including 3 boss fights, as well as CS Pack 4: 10 stages from CS mode." This wording is in all the other packs too. That sounds like a lot of content, does each DLC pack come with 20 original stages in addition to the ship specific stages or am I misreading something here?
