What Is R-Type II?

R-Type II is a classic side-scrolling shooter game developed by Irem in 1990. It is the sequel to the original R-Type and is probably one of the few games that were so difficult to play, featuring very intricate level design and unbeatable pixel art style. Every enemy ship there presented you with some sort of terrifying weapon, and the pace of each level was so high that there was not one moment where you could even breathe. It's all about skill and strategy, and so this game holds a favorable position in the hearts of the arcade and retro gamers.

Playing Style

R-Type II is played from a top-down point of view, controlling a ship that shoots waves of enemies down. Controls are simple: just move your ship left and right, shoot forward, and use a special weapon that charges over time. The game consists of different stages, each stage having its own style of enemies and obstacles. You want to survive the stage and defeat the final boss.

Hints and Tips

Weapon Mastery: Each weapon has pros and cons; test various combinations to figure out what suits your playing style.
Use the Shield Wisely: It has limited uses, so employ it only when absolutely necessary.
Practice Dodging: This is a fast-paced game, be sure to dodge incoming fire to preserve your life.
Grab Power-ups: They boost your weapons and shield.
