DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu

DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu (abbreviation: DFK, localized in the West as DoDonPachi Resurrection) is the fifth game developed in the DonPachi series of games, the fourth developed by CAVE. Released in 2008, it was originally intended to be the final entry in the DonPachi series of games, until the development and release of DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou in 2012. There are two major revisions of DFK (Ver 1.0 and Ver 1.5), as well as DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Black Label (DFK BL), a major expansion on the original release of DFK. DFK has seen a number of ports to other platforms compared to other CAVE releases, as it's been released on Arcade, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, iOS, and Android. There are also several Arrange modes of the game, which are all included in the Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows ports of the game.

The first release, DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Ver 1.0, was released in arcades in 2008. A few months later, Ver 1.0 would see a recall due to several major bugs, safespots, balance issues, and a counter-stop present in the game, and would be followed up with DoDonPachi Dai-Fukkatsu Ver 1.5, which fixed all of these issues and rebalanced several aspects of the game. Due to these issues, Ver 1.0 is not recommended for serious scoring, and is mostly played as a novelty; effectively rendered obsolete by 1.5.
