Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 10 → 0.14/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
R-Type Delta is one of the finest shoot ‘em ups ever and took the gaming world by storm upon its release in 1998. Now, 27 years later, history repeats itself with R-Type Delta HD Boosted. With its tight level design, three selectable ships, powerful Delta Attacks, and the brilliant Force mechanic, this new edition proves that gaming classics of this caliber are truly timeless. If you played R-Type Delta back in the day, this is the perfect opportunity to return to its dark science fiction action. If you've never experienced this essential piece of gaming history before, now is the time.
R-Type Delta HD Boosted features high-resolution graphics that hone the polygonal edges of this PlayStation masterpiece until they’re sharp enough to cut glass. You simply haven’t experienced R-Type Delta until you've played it in high definition! Of course, the game also comes equipped with modern quality-of-life improvements.
What has always made R-Type Delta so fantastic is its dark, eerie atmosphere. Shoot-'em-ups are not typically known for storytelling, but R-Type Delta HD Boosted excels with its simple, minimalist environmental storytelling, characteristic of the late ’90s. It’s a narrative that is as fascinating as it is unsettling, as adrenaline-pumping as it is deeply disturbing. And all this without a single word being spoken.
The name “Delta” carries several meanings. Firstly, the Greek letter delta resembles a triangle, which coincidentally has as many sides as there are playable ships in the game. It is also the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, and R-Type Delta is the fourth game in the R-Type series. Additionally, the delta triangle is the simplest type of polygon, which is fitting since R-Type Delta was the first game in the series to use three-dimensional polygon graphics instead of two-dimensional sprites.
The year is 2163, and the badly damaged R9 Arrowhead fighter has just returned to Earth after its mission to destroy the Bydo Empire. The vessel is rescued by the battle-cruiser Croque-Monsieur and transported to an orbital space station. One year later, astronomers in Central Asia observe mysterious objects falling from the sky, and moments later, control is lost over the orbiting annihilation platform Moritz-G. This high-tech machine, capable of destroying the entire planet, descends over a city and levels it to the ground. Although its planet-destroying weapons have not yet been activated, its advanced defense systems make Moritz-G virtually impossible to approach. A desperate military operation is launched, and the prototype ship R9aII Delta is deployed to resolve the situation. Thus begins the epic battle that is R-Type Delta!

Super gostoso de jogar fácil de aprender , que deliciaa cara. 10/10
이식 수준이 처참함. 원작의 효과음, 그래픽 이펙트 등등 작동 안 하는게 많고, 엔딩씬 문제도 있음. 좋은 게임을 왜 이따위로 이식해놨는지 의문. 그와 별개로 원작인 알타입 델타는 슈팅게임계의 보석과도 같은 게임이 맞다.
following this, the forthcoming tactics 1*2 Cosmos collection and Dimensions 3rd Lightning; the only remaining R-Type games to yet get a modern port are the original Final, Super R-type, the Evolved content from Final 3 and Leo. this port does the job nicely at replicating the original PSX release save for the hic-ups at launch...would i say get this over obtaining the original? that depends on how deep your pockets are

R-Type Delta é simplesmente um dos melhores jogos de nave do PlayStation. Clássico absoluto do gênero, mantendo a essência estratégica da série criada pela Irem, mas agora com gráficos 3D sombrios, trilha sonora marcante e chefes gigantes memoráveis. O sistema da Force continua brilhante, exigindo posicionamento, reflexo e treino constante. Não é só atirar — é pensar rápido. Dificuldade na medida certa, atmosfera incrível e jogabilidade refinada. Obra-prima do PS1. Nota 10.
Ugly "remaster" without any screen filter or option to improve texture stability. No rewind. Worse in every way than what any decent emulator offers. The Huelsbeck tracks don't make this a good product. Refunded.
Great port of a classic game back from 1999 (on PS1), it was revolutionary at the time, offering an intense 2.5D experience. I am extremely happy that this game has been released on Steam 26 years later with so much love and care. The old game with its typical R-Type strengths is still there, as are the old “3D” graphics. Great work and a "must have" for retro gamers :)
eu fui uma criança feliz
O tradicional R-Type Delta bem portado para a Steam, com todas as características noventistas Não brinquei na época, mas após algum tempo de jogo fiquei pensando qual impacto este jogo deu na época para os fans do gênero... este jogo é simplismente incrível - com os gráficos HD melhorados deslumbra até mesmo para os dias atuais... Sinceramente... um dos melhores jogos de nave que joguei na minha vida, seja em gráfico, som, diversão - vale cada centavo. Único ponto fraco é a dificuldade no modo "normal" (human), é absurda Roda normal no Linux (100% de velocidade, sem lags, com videos) bastando: -Colocar comando de inicialização: SteamDeck=1 gamemoderun %COMMAND% (Fedora / Bazzite) SteamDeck=1 %command% (Tuxedo OS) -Via ProtonUp-Qt eu instalo para rodar sob compatibilidade de: GE-Proton9-27 ou GE-Proton10-34 Com Proton normal também roda, mas para ter os videos tem que ser no GE Para quem não tem tempo (como eu) para esmerilhar, o truque da versão PS1 funciona: Invencibilidade: Pause o jogo e segure L2 enquanto digita a seguinte combinação de botões: Direita, Direita, Esquerda, Direita, Esquerda, Esquerda, Direita, Esquerda, R2, Cima, Cima, Baixo, Baixo, Cima, Baixo, Cima, Baixo, R2.
it's so obviously a great game and to a Casual like me a very solid effort to remaster such a cool, important shmup and bring it to PC and modern systems. there are a few things that are a little basic in presentation and options, but so far as I can tell it's a must-have for fans of the genre. being remade to remove slowdown is awesome, making it to me the definitive version to experience. so it's a great effort for a truly great game every shmup fan SHOULD play, but to not even include even a barebones CRT filter is simply too much for me. I've gotta use this vote as my measely way to protest this lack of care about such a small thing that at least to me is so important. the game only looks the way it does because the designers knew it'd all be seen through CRT scanlines. that was all that available - even to them, I bet - when it came out. small thing but a critical one. so easy to implement, too. very frustrating, especially when it's otherwise so GOOD. I do recommend it. I do. but I'm using this vote as protest. I'll change if ever they add one, I do doubt they will. if they didn't think of it while making it, why would they think of it now??
So, I do recommend this game. It stands as one of the best R-Type games ever made, and it is still a great game today. However, this "port" is disappointing in several ways. You may have noticed that I put the word port in quotation marks. That's because I strongly suspect that this is not a port, but rather a game being run in an emulation layer presented under a custom front-end. Here's the skinny. First, the graphics options are extremely limited. You have some control over the output resolution, and you have 3 aspect ratio options. None of them are optimal in 2025. There is no true widescreen support. You get standard 4:3, a mode that extends the viewable area beyond standard 4:3, but it isn't 16:9. It's probably more like 3:2. If you want 16:9, your only option is to stretch the image. That SUCKS. Second, I hope you like wobbly polygons and tons of texture warping, because there's no option to correct it. Even modern PSX emulators have the ability to correct the PlayStation's awful vertex snapping issues. I think most of us can appreciate the pixelated textures, and I'm fine with no texture filtering options. However, I very much doubt many people want texture warping and polygon wobble in 2025. It's distracting, and the HD resolution bump only serves to magnify these distractions. Speaking of HD, that's the one thing this "port" gets right in the visual department. It does scale the internal rendering resolution properly. It's just a shame that the presentation is marred by blemishes from 30 years ago that nobody misses. At minimum, there should be options to toggle texture warping and vertex snapping. Instead we're left with a very lazy, barebones "port", and you can get considerably better image quality (including true widescreen) out of Duckstation or even ePSXe. Oh, there are issues with the soundtrack that others have pointed out, too. What a shame. I'm going to hold onto the game for now in hopes that the devs fix these things and add some better options.
