Enhanced and Evolved
R-Type is back and better than ever! Experience the explosive return of the legendary shoot-'em-up on PC, where the high-octane action of the original games meets contemporary visuals, challenging gameplay, and an arsenal of new features.evolving enemies, stages that transform before you, and a real-time difficulty meter increases or decreases based on your performance.
Reading over the crowdfunding page are really trying to make something special, doesn't seem to be a remake but more of a re-imagine of R-Type games.... I see in some of the stretch goals they will remake original R-Type game levels from all of the different R-Type games. Will be interesting to see how this comes out in the end and congrats on them for supporting all platforms 🙂
Jeez! I wish I still had the reactions to play this! I wonder, are they gonna remake Defender too?
Jeez! I wish I still had the reactions to play this! I wonder
Haha I am getting to that point too sometimes Geraldine... my son makes fun of me when I express frustration in a game where I am like stuck or cannot beat a boss and then he beats it first try 😩 I think I am getting old.... I need cybernetics please come out soon I have so many steam games to play yet 🙂
But I thought there was a free remake out there of defender I would have to look
There are loads of Defender clones out there. It's even more iconic than R-Type. Oblivion, on the Amiga, was always my favorite as it was really close to the proper Arcade version and fast as hell to play too. These days I'd be lucky to get past wave 1. 🤣Â
