R-Type Dimensions EX

Nintendo Switch Ι Genre: Old-school Shoot ’em up Compilation

Universally recognized as one of the cornerstones of the shoot ’em up genre, the R-Type series helped to create the modern gaming culture, leaving a mark in the hearts of millions of players worldwide. Developed by Irem in 1987; the first episode sees you as an ace pilot of the Earth Allied Armed Forces (an organization created to defend terrestrials from alien attacks) shoot your way to destroy the Bydo Empire.
Originally created in the Earth’s genetic labs during the year 2501 AD, this species main objective was to start the colonization of planets and systems for human’s expansion, and domination in the sidereal space. But, in accordance with tradition, these sentient bio-mechanical beings rose against their creators and invaded the whole solar system.

To defend themselves and righting wrongs, the best engineers of the planet join their brilliant minds to develop a weapon who could restore the order: R-9A Arrowhead!
Mounting a next-generation wave cannon, a round bit device, and two homing missiles launcher, it’s well armed and extremely agile both in the atmosphere and in deep space reaching the incredible speed of 208 km/sec.
