The coin-op classics, R-Type & R-Type II, are together on iOS! Fight through all 14 Bydo-infested stages in retro 2D graphics or shiny 3D graphics - and swap back and forth with the touch of a button 'on-the-fly'. The new 3D graphics are accompanied by fully reimagined arrangements of the timeless R-Type music tracks! The classic game-play remains untouched while the new Infinite game mode allows continuous progression from game start to final boss... the Bydo will not evade you this time! So pull yourself together, save the earth and strike down the Evil Bydo Empire!!
Doesnโt have controller support
Game seems good from what I can tell, but the lack of controller support means I definitely regret buying this.
The game is really fun
The game R Type Dimensions has a whole lot of cool features. I can use the slow mode and it eases the difficulty during gameplay. It also makes passing through harder stages less tight. I can also use the fast paced feature if I want to pass through the east stages. That is why the game is so fun.๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐
Nice to see
R-Type as I remember it. But with a โ3Dโ option and freshened music. Itโs not full screen because the game was 4x3. The remixed music sounds cool, itโs still MIDI (which has charm), but the tempo of the songs is a little too fast (level 1:2 should be more ponderous, not a dance song). The 3D graphics are actually 2.5D. Parallax scrolling backgrounds, some reflections, and more shading. The ships have depth R-Type 3 would be a welcome addition. Now can I try R-Type tactics on my iPhone? Gripes, a ability to resize Fire/Force buttons would be welcome. BUG: Holding down rhe fire button at the beginning of play makes joystick not work. Release button & move joystick will clear that up. iPhone 11
Actually not bad on mobile
The game handles quite well, even with touch controls. If you like R-Type and are on the fence because youโre unsure about the mobile experience, I say go for it. Sure, it doesnโt match the experience of a proper setup, but itโs a cool way to experience the classics while youโre away from your CRT.
Doesnโt support gamepads
Very nice remake, unfortunately doesnโt support gamepads. If it did, it would be a 5* game to me. Download/purchase the Dotemu versions for gamepad support.
Nice
Itโs not full screen and very short
