TSA writes: R-Type was a game seemingly so effortless in its excellence that it made the idea of developing a side-scrolling shoot ’em up appear to be an easy prospect. The decades worth of pale imitators since have proven that it’s anything but. Pinpoint controls, exceptional visual feedback and the kind of collision detection that makes grown men weep are not exactly easy to emulate. This is what makes Rigid Force Redux such an accomplish; it meets the bar that R-Type set all those years ago and, in some aspects, even exceeds them.
"The Düren-based (Germany) indie games publisher Headup and Hannover-based (Germany) indie games developer com8com1, are today very happy and excited to announce that their critically acclaimed horizontal 3D shmup “Rigid Force Redux” (which has received positive reviews on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch), is now available for Android devices via the Google Play Store." - Jonas Ek, TGG.
"Headup and com8com1 Software are thrilled to announce that their critically acclaimed shoot'em up, "Rigid Force Redux", will be taking flight for Android devices on August 11th, 2022." - Headup and com8com1 Software.
Rigid Force Redux is a from-the-ground-up optimization of the PC game Rigid Force Alpha for console systems. Crafted by a developer who truly loves classic sidescrolling “shmups”, the game comes into it’s own with it’s unique firing mechanics allowing you to aim in all directions with increasing firepower to take down the alien horde.
Great game have on switch.
