Great game, hope it gets optimization updates in the future, since even my laptop struggled with performance, forcing me to lower my settings to medium to get it running well enough.1 found this helpful

After over three years of waiting for this game to release, I recently finished the campaign for the first game at the time of posting this review then went on to collect the remaining gallery pieces I needed. I seldom play tactics games, and while there were parts of the experience in this one I found frustrating, overall I enjoyed my time. I'm looking at least at 100 more hours of playtime with R-Type Tactics II, so for the base price of $50 USD you get a lot of value for your money. Definitely worth the purchase if you have an interest in the R-Type series as you get a substantial amount of story and worldbuilding, all while fighting familiar enemies in a far different context since this is a turn-based tactics game. All that being said, the game isn't entirely without faults. Menu navigation on controller can be a bit of a pain since you cannot wrap around from the top option to the bottom by pressing up, and in the final cave level of R-Type Tactics I the lighting went haywire for half a second when a unit started to move before returning to normal. Some people bring up the lack of tutorials, but there's an in-game manual you can view during and outside of missions, and the f…
Quite the idea to reinvent the iconic arcade shoot 'em up franchise into a turn-based strategy game, and it works well too. It is slower paced than most other games of this genre I've played, there's more variables to keep track of than most, such as unit fuel consumption, charge attacks (both offensive and defensive) and such. It's definitely not as whiz-bang, instant gratification-providing as, say, [i]Super Robot Wars[/i]. But it certainly is a treat for [i]R-Type[/i] nerds.
As a massive fan of the original tactics 1 and 2, this is better in every way I can think of. Incredible work Granzella! Thank you for reviving this gem I thought was lost back with Irem.
Love it. Waited since 2020.
