I was lucky enough to find an affordable copy of R-Type Delta online, which is not an easy task these days. After all these years of being an R-Type fan, I finally got to play this one and it was shockingly good. Everything I felt was wrong with R-Type Final was done right in this game, even though it’s earlier in the series. The stage design was far better. The pace was faster and more intense; not boring like some of the game-play is in R-Type Final (sadly). Here you have 7 well imagined stages, full of all the R-Type difficulty and Bydo madness you have come to expect from this franchise. As others have mentioned, you start with three selectable ships that come armed with their own individual and unique force pod. Each one has very different characteristics between the three power-up modules (blue, yellow, red) and one ship may fit your style more than another! Personally, I found the R-9 and R-13 ships to be best. While you cannot switch ships mid game, you can give it a go with one ship and then select another on a different play through before you blast off. These ships reminded me a bit of R-Type III: Third Lightning, but while that game allowed three different pods, Delta actually offered individual ships.It was particularly great to see some of the old Bydo bad guys are back at it again in 3D. The Dobkeratops, the Gomander Cyst and the classic R-Type stage 3 battleship all make a return appearance and they are a welcome treat. I felt the pace of the game was intense,.
One of the best scrolling shooters ever, and if you like it then you should buy R-Type final, like its name says is the end of the series and dont forget also get Gradius V.
I’m impressed. I never thought it would be this good, tons of hidden stuff, great unique levels, great effects.The only thing bad is the cg is a little weak, but I didn’t buy it for that anyway.
This follow-up to the spectacularly frustrating early R-Type games is different enough from those blood pressure increasers to stand on its own, but retains enough of the classic R-Type style gameplay to satisfy long-time fans of the series. Be forewarned that this title emphasizes the need for steady nerves and, sorry to say, a certain amount of trial-and-error as opposed to the all-out, non-stop, shoot-everything-in-sight-and-then-shoot-some-more-in-case-you-missed-something mayhem of other PlayStation side-scrollers like G Darius and Thunder Force V. While not as heavy-handed as the two earliest installments (available on Agetec’s R-Types collection for those with oodles of time on their hands), R-Type Delta does demand that you learn from your mistakes, because you must be able to anticipate the patterns of the enemies and their attacks as well as the locations of surprise obstacles if you wish to progress. There is simply no way in Hell you will beat this game on your first attempt if you haven’t seen the game played and beaten before, no matter how skilled a joypad jock you are (or THINK you are). One wrong move spells doom, and when you’re in unfamiliar territory, you often can’t tell which moves are the right ones to make until it’s too late.Aside from the difficulty, my biggest complaint is that your force module, while being a very useful tool, is…well…stupid. There has been more than one occasion where I have been killed because the module got stuck behind some.
Many people (including myself) consider R-Type to be the premiere side-scrolling shooter series in existence. When the 3D (OK, actually 2.5D) R-Type Delta was announced, I was skeptical. How could Delta live up to the 2D glory that was R-Type, or R-Type Leo?To say it did would be an understatement. Irem and Agetec have crafted the best side-scroller on the PSX, and perhaps the best modern side-scroller. You take your pick of three R-Type ships (with a fourth hidden), the R9, R13, or RX, each with its own unique Force Module and individual weapons, and invade seven levels of dark, bio-mechanical Bydo Empire-ridden evil. Enemies from previous R-Types are included, but in full menacing polygonal 3D, and even the level designs are from the old games, but again, redone for the 3D generation. Delta is more than a great-looking package, however – it succeeds in creating an immersive universe that sucks you heedlessly in, including a haunting soundtrack that shifts to reflect the on-screen events. Of particular note is the 5th level (dubbed by me as the "Sewer Level"), in which you must dodge your way among drifting pipes and other garbage, weird alien slugs firing on you the whole time. It’s suitably murky and bubbly — almost smelly. And the boss will be familiar to R-Type fans…. Gameplay, thankfully, remains 2D. You scroll from right to left, charging up your force module, and laying waste to the droves of semi-organic Bydo enemies that are an R-Type trademar.
Alongside Einhander and Thunder Force V, R-Type Delta was another shmup during the PS1-era that opted to go for a more cinematic looking and approach to the genre. While the gameplay is still classic R-Type you’ll see some immediate changes. The graphics are in full 3D and in all honesty, I’m very impressed by this game as of 2013. The textures and models are good enough to where the ideas are conveyed well enough to the player so that’s definitely a plus. Fair warning for those who are faint of heart or lack patience. This game is a memorization shooter. R-Type always has and will be one so you will be restarting from checkpoints many times as frustrating as it sounds but hey, you got length/replayability out of your purchase so that means something.The game isn’t too long but it does have a very deliberate pace to it. There is always something happening on screen but sometimes the scrolling starts to crawl and segments do unintentionally feel drawn out. Like I said before, many PSone-era Shooting Games went for a cinematic approach so it’s similar to a movie but unlike contemporary games, you are in control of all of it. While the game isn’t without it’s flaws, it’s by far the best entry in the R-Type series. Despite R-Type Final trying to have much more narrative conveyance, it was weaker than how it’s conveyed here without pre-level text.I dig this game. Not too jazzed about how much I paid for it but everything was intact and in good shape so I’m happy with the purchase.
