Literally the best arcade game ever made

Jogando novamente, com controle Xbox clássico.

The graphics and sound are amazing, the gameplay is just pure memorization stage 4 onwards, going for the 1cc turns into hell because the first 3 stages are basically a 5 minute loading screen and then you just need to remember absolutely everything, and if you forget any small detail you die, and once you die recovery is basically impossible. Extremely punishing game. The force pod is cool though.

The thing that earned R-Type much of its praise is actually not my cup of tea. Rote memorization isn't nearly as entertaining to me as twitch gameplay in this genre. I prefer the chaos to the tactical positioning of your ship in just the perfect place. I do still appreciate it for the visuals (Alien was influencing games 8 years after its release), the music, and the fact that the game did make you think in order to get better at playing it.

R-Type (1987): Uno de los mejores arcade de naves de la época. Es cierto que tiene los problemas típicos de la época, como una dificultad ridícula e injusta, o bajar a 3 FPS cuándo hay demasiadas cosas en pantalla, pero aún así divierte en su brevedad y se ve muy chulo (6,45)

Every good Shmup needs a cool gameplay Mechanic. R-Type possibly has the best one with the "Force" that you can attach to the front or back of your ship or let it float freely. Playing around with this is super fun.

The game is also super difficult as most shmups are. I still prefer Gradius II Arcade as my favourite classic shmup but this is close.

I couldn't beat this game yet but haven't really practised it too much. Stage 4 used to end my 1cc attempts alot

Incredibly difficult game, good luck trying to get past stage 6.

Bom jogo pra época q traz um mecânica diferente com um módulo a parte na nave, q visualmente fica bem estranho, mas funciona no geral, apesar de não nada tão cativante nesse jogo.

Nota: 6/10 (★★★) - Legal
