R-Type 戰略 I & II 宇宙 - 豪華版 (PS5)

The blend of side-scrolling action with turn-based strategy is brilliantly executed here, and the revamped visuals make the classic gameplay feel fresh. I’ve already sunk hours into the tactical battles online.

Finally a console collection that does R-Type justice, the turn-based tactical mode adds a whole new layer of strategy to the classic side-scrolling action. Being able to play both games with revamped visuals on PS5 makes it feel fresh, and the online play is smooth.

The tactical combat is surprisingly deep once you get past the initial learning curve, and having both games in one package feels like a solid value. I do wish the online features were a bit more robust for a modern release, but the turn-based strategy keeps me coming back.
