R-TYPE DX: Music Encore

A lot of GB/GBC ports of console/arcade games end up sacrificing core parts of their respective games, but R-Type DX does a pretty good job of remaining faithful. There is some missing content, but the bulk of both R-Type I and II is there, with the DX mode combining both into one long shmup fest. The new soundtrack in this re-release ups the quality and brings it closer to the arcade originals. Something that took me by surprise is some nice sprite work and redone stage theming which helps this version stand out. Sure, there are better ways of playing the first two games nowadays but it is a fun experience for those interested in the series history and/or fancy a different experience for such classics.

Great fun and an R-type people may actually have a chance of beating. The remix soundtrack is fantastic. Also great that you get all the versions both GB and GB color. Looks better in original ratio than widescreen imho ( can change in options).

I always support R-Type releases and was going to welcome this with open arms too. Unless I'm doing something wrong the game seems broken. Steam says it doesn't support controllers but all in game menus reference an x-box layout with no way to modify key bindings. Seems unresponsive on buttons, some achievements weren't working. If anyone can help me fix this mess I'll happily change my review. Edit: - as someone suggested in the comments of my post, the controller does work as long as its the only one plugged in. I had problems with rewind and charging using the keyboard but these seem to work on the pad. The dev also opened up a discussion thread mentioning the broken achievements. I'll change my review to recommended based on the fact my initial gripes have a work around.

Toute mon enfance 10/10

GB版のR-Typeのリメイク GB版はやったことないがR-Typeファンとしては買わざるを得ない 無印R-Typeと攻略方法が違うため、そこそこ楽しめた 音楽も古き良き音楽となっている為、楽しめる 実績解除も通しプレイで全部解除してしまった ゲーム全体的の評価としてはとても良いが もう少しやりこみ要素（実績解除とか）あるとよかったかも

probably the best way to enjoy these games. the game does have some issues such as some button prompts being different than what is displayed and some weird sprite shenanigans at the second part's end boss. achievement tracking between game and steam is also buggy too. the biggest quality-of-life is definitely the increased sprite limit as the original game had massive issues particularly with the stage 10 boss and its disappearing enemy bullets. the bullets are legible in this release. the revamped soundtrack is sooooo much better too (though i suppose it doesn't sound very gameboy-ey anymore). good purchase and easier to clear compared to the arcade version

本作是原版于90年代末发售在GBC平台的《R-TYPE》与《R-TYPE II》的合集，该系列最为特色的是其独特的Force僚机系统。但是此番Steam版绝非是简单的打包，不但增加了倒带、即时存读档等功能，最重要的是进行了曲目的重制，使得原版单一的关卡通用曲目变为了类似于街机版的编排。此外还支持2代作品无缝连续游玩，一口气体验全部内容。除此之外，该合集还完美收录了包装盒、卡带、说明书以及宣传单及原画样式，电子博物馆无疑了。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游，始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]

Look, is this the best version of R-Type? Hahahahahahahahaha GOD NO Are there other versions of R-Type you should play first? Absolutely. But God, I must have played hundreds of hours of this on the GameBoy Color. I brought that sucker to weddings, to family gatherings, absolutely everywhere. And look, the real problem with this game was never the fact that it didn't have the arcade music.. The problem was that it was a bullet hell shmup that was running off the pure, raw, unrestrained power of...the GameBoy Color. But I could never hate this goofy ass game. I think most people will get everything they need off the other R-Type games available on Steam and elsewhere. But this little thing was such a formative part of my childhood that I needed to check it out. If you're playing through all the R-Type games, check it out. It will be at most a curiosity for like 95% of players, but it's still an interesting port go such a....once again, INCREDIBLY powerful system, as the GameBoy Color.
