How it feels
A frenetic, challenging arcade shooter with classic gameplay and the option to toggle between retro pixel art and shiny 3D graphics on the fly.

What players say
Players praise this as a faithful revival of R-Type I and II, with the ability to switch between pixel and 3D graphics mid-game being a standout feature. It is brutally difficult, the kind of arcade-hard that wants your quarters, and the default infinite-lives mode makes it more accessible. Some report it fails to start on Steam Deck despite being verified.
