(Also known as "R-Type Tactics") In a desperate war against the mysterious alien race known as the Bydo, humanity sends wave after wave of fighters into Bydo space -- none of which are ever heard from again. Mankind's main hope now resides with a lone commander, sent to lead a small armada on a perilous mission into the heart of the Bydo Empire. Low on fuel and forced to scavenge resources and equipment from his surroundings, the commander must use all his cunning and wits if he hopes to succeed, let alone make it home alive. R-Type reborn - The highly acclaimed franchise moves into the strategy genre with exciting tactical gameplay. Control the Bydo forces - For the first time in the series, take command of the Bydo forces as they launch their assault on Earth. Intense strategy gameplay - With nearly 100 different units at your disposal, it's up to you to choose the best fleet for battle. Upgrade your existing units or purchase new ones. Head-to-head local multiplayer - With the PSP wireless communication feature, play against a friend in Wireless Ad Hoc mode for a one-on-one strategy battle. [Atlus USA]

Completion of a stage in R-Type Command is every bit as rewarding as it was in its shoot 'em up predecessors, but without the painful hand cramp. Give your trigger finger a rest and pick this title up.

The R-Type shooters have always been tough-as-nails, and as it turns out, the strategy game is no different - a rarity and a blessing in Japanese games of late. [Jan 2008, p.69]

Even if you only play the massive single player campaign, R-Type Command is a breath of fresh air in an industry filled with “me too” knock-offs and umpteenth sequels.

R-Type Command is an excellent strategy game that’s nearly killed by its slower-than-bearable pace. Strategy gamers, though likely frustrated and contemplating an exit strategy, will want to endure the monotony to reap the benefits: engrossing combat, great levels, and larger-than-life boss battles.

IGN
If you can look past some technical shortcomings and a few gameplay annoyances, R-Type Command is a good strategy game that, when treated almost like a board game, will definitely entertain.

Tactics lacks what it needs the most, which is the seemingly limitless potential achieved by its predecessor. [Feb 2008, p.94]

The biggest issue with the game, besides the slow pace, is that each level feels roughly the same, despite the shifting settings of each stage.
