About

R-Type and R-Type II, the legendary coin-op space shooters, now together on Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 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! Both game modes can be played as single player or local multiplayer. Pull yourself together, save the earth and strike down the Evil Bydo Empire!!

AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Ikaruga

Like R-Type Dimensions, Ikaruga is a masterclass in the 'shmup' genre, demanding pixel-perfect dodging and strategic shot absorption, but adds a unique polarity-switching mechanic that elevates its challenge and depth.

Gradius V

Gradius V is a direct descendant of the classic side-scrolling shooter, offering the same iconic power-up system and wave-based enemy encounters as R-Type Dimensions, but with a refined visual style and intricate level design.

Jamestown: Legend of the Lost Colony

Jamestown offers a fresh take on the classic arcade shooter, blending frantic bullet-hell action with a charming retro-futuristic aesthetic and a unique 'Vaunt' mechanic for strategic invincibility, much like R-Type's Force system.
