Darius[a] is a shoot 'em up video game franchise developed and published by Taito. The eponymous first game was released in February 1987 for arcades, and has since been followed by six sequels and several spin-offs.

Darius is known for its branching stage paths, upbeat soundtrack, and cute sea life-inspired enemies.[2]
