CCG writes - "R-Type Final 2 has you defending Earth from the Bydo menace, which is an organic life form bent on wiping out humanity. Though, to be fair, you could easily use that to describe the entire series - a deep storyteller, it is not. However, what it would be is a classic, genre-defining side-scrolling shoot 'em up series where you blast a combination of fleshy creatures and mechanical enemies out of, well, mostly space."
Richard writes: "The R-Type series recently reached the ripe old age of 35 years. In gaming terms, it is one of the old boys now, but this didn’t stop R-Type Final 2 coming out to strong reviews back in 2021. And the post-release has been consistent also. In fact, today even has two new sets of DLC for R-Type Final 2 on Xbox and PlayStation. But don’t worry, you don’t need to purchase both of them."
After nearly 20 years, R-Type Final 2 is back and it brings along with it some stellar visuals and great action gameplay. This is the first R-Type title to release outside Japan since 2009, so this is a big deal for western gamers and fans of horizontal shooters. Check out Jason Capp's review for more.
R-Type Final 2's DLC Set 4 was released only recently and the final boss has already been censored in the United States and Europe.
Lol yeh I can see the resemblance. They love their phallic imagery in 'ol Nihon. Reminds me of the crestworms in Fate/Zero.
Or maybe the prblem is with people that immediately see a big purple penis alien....
I love this series (I still own some of the old-school games to this very day).
