Features & Capabilities

R-TYPE II is a classic horizontal scrolling shooter arcade game developed by Irem in 1989, serving as the sequel to the original R-Type. Players pilot the enhanced R-9C ship to battle the returning Bydo Empire across six unique levels, each featuring its own challenging boss. The game includes new weapons like the Search Laser and Shotgun Laser, along with an anti-ground unit bomb for strategic combat.

Featuring a mix of original and new gameplay enhancements, R-TYPE II offers customizable controls with touch and virtual D-Pad modes, three difficulty settings (unlimited, normal, and insane), auto-fire toggling, and graphical options including filters and scanlines. Available in 10 languages and supporting various controllers, this game delivers nostalgic arcade action optimized for modern devices. Unlock achievements, compete on online leaderboards, and enjoy full-screen or original screen ratios on tablets and other platforms. R-TYPE II is the ideal choice for fans seeking a classic yet challenging shooter experience.
