R-Type Final 2– a pseudo-sequel/remake of Irem’s 2003 releaseR-Type Final– went into development in the summer of 2019,following a hugely successful Kickstarter campaignthat raised almost double its initial target of $400,000 USD in less than a few days.
The new release has been developed as a love-letter to the decades-old franchise, featuringR-Type‘s traditional, horizontally scrolling shmup action, but spruced up with gorgeous new visuals, remixed music, and more new modes and extra features than you may shake a Wave Cannon at.
Players will be able to choose from a huge range of vessels taken from throughoutR-Type‘s storied history before blasting off into yet another battle with the dogged Bydo Empire. New weapons, ship customisation options, a wide variety of difficulty settings, and Ghost and Time Attack modes are among the many new features awaiting series fans new and old.
