PR - Strictly Limited Games releasing western versions of Darius Cozmic Collection

As this month marks our 2nd Anniversary of celebrating the cultural heritage and impact of video games, as well as the preservation of titles that would otherwise be lost in the sands of time, we wanted to bring something really special to the community that makes SLG a reality...

During the festivities you will be able to get your hands on two legendary and long lasting IPs, one originating from Japan and another one is an all-american classic that took Japan by storm!

To start our celebrations, we are proud to announce the English localization of one of the highest revered game series in the history of video gaming. We are thrilled to inform you that the Darius Cozmic Collection will FINALLY get a proper localization for the west - for both the Nintendo Switch, and as a worldwide first release - the PlayStation 4!

The Darius series pioneered horizontal Shoot 'Em Up games and was developed by the legendary TAITO Corporation in Japan. The first Darius game was released for arcade machines back in 1986. In Darius, the player slips into the role of a spaceship pilot, either alone or in two-player mode. The objective is to save the Darius civilization by shooting and fighting through enemy hordes, using the famous space ship the Silver Hawk.

Numerous sequels and ports followed over the years, setting new standards for Shoot 'Em Up excellence each time, from the outstanding soundtracks to the unforgettable opponent design and the innovative branching paths at the end of each section. The Darius Cozmic Collection represents the classic 2D history of the iconic Shoot 'Em Up series.
