Power Play
Die Freude war groß: Endlich mal wieder ein vielversprechendes Action-Modul für das frisch erworbene Super Famicom. Die Enttäuschung war dafür um so größer: Zwar sieht Darius Twin auf den ersten Blick besser aus als der Baller-Veteran Gradius III (die Grafikruckelei ist fast völlig verschwunden). Schaut man aber genauer hin, entpuppt sich Darius Twin als müde Schwindelpackung. Die Levels sind zu kurz, statt feuriger Alienhorden gibt es lasche Gegner-Hördchen. Kaum einmal passiert es, daß sich mehr als ein halbes Dutzend Objekte gleichzeitig auf dem bunten Bildschirm tummeln. Ruckfreie und bunte Bilder täuschen aber nicht darüber hinweg, daß der Ballerfreund hier die Abwechslung mit einem Mikroskop suchen kann.

Nintendo Power Magazine
While there's nothing new or unique in the storyline of this arcade-hit-to-Super-NES translation, the enemy battleships do have a style that is all their own. Even though they come from a distant series of planets and they soar through space, these huge fighting machines resemble giant creatures of the deep.

On the surface, Darius Twin is just a decent shooter. You shoot down typical enemy formations to gain power ups that range from diagonal shots to straight ahead firepower, (the blade shots are amazing to behold here) to upgradeable shields (as is the blue; then silver; then gold, shining, coursing shield). The point to be made with Darius Twin, is that it’s as average as any Darius game, except that there’s some memory-making kitsch value in the screaming tunes and odd boss names, and it’s two-player simultaneous action. That’s enough to make it just about as exceptional as any Darius game will get.
