R-Type is a Must Have classic shooter that will chew you up and spit you out.
It has a quality to it, be it the great soundtrack, great graphics (for the time) and challenging gameplay, that keeps you coming back for more.
R-Type is still an insanely difficult shmup that is best consumed by those well-versed in the genre or looking to experience a classic entry in it, but those looking to experience this monument to old-school gaming will find a fantastic port awaits them.
To go along with all those retro graphics is one awesome soundtrack ripped right from the days of Japanese-inspired coin-ops.
Competent touch controls and new options to dull the painful difficulty make this port of arcade shooter R Type generally pleasing.
If you are a total R-Type diehard, I'd completely understand parting with a couple bucks to download it. But with so many other places to play R-Type – and be able to make the hard plays to defeat the Bydo Empire – it's tough to widely recommend.
R-Type doesn't have much longevity going for it – no online leaderboards, no bonus levels, no R-Type II – but considering its two dollar price tag, you could buy worse for your Apple device.
