ABOUT

The retail edition of Darius Odyssey, the official setting materials collection for Taito's Darius series, published by Kadokawa in 2013. The National Diet Library records it at 159 pages, catalogued with the spine title Darius Odyssey Official Setting Materials Collection and credited to the Arcadia editorial team.

The original Darius Odyssey was a non-commercial item covering the series up to the PSP release of Darius Burst, and calls for a reissue were frequent. Rather than simply reprinting it, this edition adds the arcade releases that followed, Darius Burst Another Chronicle and Another Chronicle EX, expanding the book by 64 pages to about one and a half times its original length.

For a series defined by its aquatic battleship bosses and branching zone structure, this is the closest thing to a unified official reference, spanning a quarter century of games in one volume.

CONTENTS

• Series coverage up to Darius Burst (PSP)
• Added chapters on Darius Burst Another Chronicle and Another Chronicle EX

DESCRIPTION

A settings and materials collection that stands as the culmination of the Darius series. DARIUS ODYSSEY was a non-commercial item covering the series up to the PSP version of Darius Burst, and there were many calls for it to be reissued. Rather than simply reprint it, this expanded and revised edition adds the arcade releases that followed, Darius Burst Another Chronicle and Another Chronicle EX, along with the iOS version Darius Burst Second Prologue, adding 64 pages and making it more than half again its original length.
