In R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos, the Bydo Empire continues its relentless attack on humanity, and it’s up to players to outsmart and outmanoeuvre them with their Space Corps armada to achieve victory. Alternatively, the multiple campaigns will also allow players to join the ranks of the Bydo to bring an end to mankind.
Both R-Type Tactics games feature plenty of levels and hundreds of ships that players can command and deploy, plus there are branching missions to enjoy and a brand-new post-game story. For gamers in the west, this will be the first time R-Type Tactics II has been available, adding a new level of excitement for fans of the franchise.
