R-TYPE for Android
I played it as a kid one and two. Gotta give it up to those two games they kept me off tha streets & got away from heading towards the wrong direction "RTYPE"out muthatruckers
Faithful translation of the old Amiga version. Touch interface is done very well though my hand gets in the way a lot of the time. Still hard as hell and makes me cuss a lot - great game!
Kinda tricky without the joystick, thumb blocks the view of what's coming from behind... otherwise it's just like being back in '87. Except this time no need to spend all my lunch money ;-)
Paid about $100 back in the 80's for the cartridge on the Sega Master System. Now I have it with inflation for over 300 cents :-) I never could get past level 4 so I will have to see if I can do so now.
I found its easier to see/ play if you turn your phone Upside down so the screen looks like a shooter game like asteroids. Your finger gets in less of the way and you can see things coming a lot easier
Awesome - a faithful recreation of the Amiga classic. Brought back many happy memories... even if I am not as good as I used to be...
I freaking love R-type... then only reason I didn't 5star this app was the very difficult control scheme... controling the ship with your finger is fine, as is the pad, if only we humans didn't have a bulky palm that covers the left side screen enough you will easily get shot by a bullet or back into an enemy you can't see...cuz of your stupid palm...maybe make an option to shrink the game screen and have a touchpad outside the gameplay?... that'll sooo great guys. Love yalls!
R type is a classic shoot em up game & the arcade perfect conversation plays great on my galaxy s7. It plays absolutely fine with touch screen controls but it of course plays better with a gamepad. I'm using the "gamesir g3w wired controller" & the game detected it with no issues. I'd definitely reccommend this game to anyone but be warned r type is a HARD game
Super nostalgic.. Takes a bit to master the controls, but otherwise just like we remember it as.. Buy it and keep it forever. You don't get gems like this often.
I bought this and the second one but they are too hard. I can't pass the first mission just one hit and I have to start all over again. Wtfk i going to take my refund.
Very good reproduction of the original arcade game I lost a ton of quarters to back in the 80's. It's a good buy.
Glad this game is in the Play store. Used to have the Sega Genesis version and it was one of the hardest games back in the day. Brings back a lot of memories and still makes me cuss trying to get to the next level.
Controls seem stiff, but its still nothing short of 4+. We need more games like this.
Awesome ! Just like going back to the 80s,slight problem with finger on the screen,not seeing the enemy but too be expected,dont let that put you off .....classic
Exactly as original great game it just impossible to play as the original as the screen control can't be like a joystick so basically if you can do well with screen control then kudos to you
I was obsessed with this years ago. Great to have it back.
I've played this on Arcade, Sega Master System, CBM Amiga, Sinclair Spectrum, Gameboy, PS One, and now Android. Still can't get past the 5th stage without cheating. Has the Bydo Empire responded to Danmaku games by hiding in a corner? Have their fleets retreated indoors because it might be "a bit cold out there"? Have they f**k. I expect to be playing this well into my dotage on a Samsung Galaxy 200, finally defeating Boss Bydo, with my last dying breath.
Controls are a bit fiddly but to be expected on a retro game
Can't seem to get my moga controller working with this, despite it being advertised as compatible. Help?
proper arcade game,gets me swearing and flinching about
Superb recreation of one of my favourite games, now even better than when I first bought it with the addition of gamepad and keyboard controls.
the moga pocket doesn't work why? says it's connected but nothing happens
I remember this wen I was a kid I'm now 36 and this game is still awesome. Thank you for bringing a piece of my childhood to mobile gaming.
This game plays like a dream. R-Type is one of the great classics, and it's been translated to the Android platform flawlessly.
Please fix this there is a delay on movement of the ship
Takes me back to the early nineties, spending my pocket money down the arcades playing this for hours and love it!
Rtype what's not too love
Hmmm... Shoot till u puke.
Just like the classic version, Fun way to pass the time. Better off using a controller instead.
I've been looking for this classic for year's finally got to play it again.
Old school addiction .
I have no sound in game on Xiaomi Mix
Pity no.2 isn't free hope it's as good as first
Spent a fortune playing arcade version Thanks Google
Classic game with all its original elements intact.
Classic shoot em' up action!
Just like it used to be on the Sega Master System!
Awesome spot on liike the coin op.....controls are the only down side...need an infered joystic
Fantastic retro game that took me back to my youth.

Great game I used play in my youth in the local arcade. Made much better by using one of the new Xbox one controller that connects via Bluetooth go my phone. Only criticism is the auto fire...never had it on the original and not needed. Otherwise great.
