dogbert Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 Irem just announced "R-Type Tactics" for the PSP, which is apparently a turn based strategy game based on the classic R-Type series of 2D shmups... Only info so far is a scanned page from Famitsu: Bring it on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMonkey Posted May 23, 2007 Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 You said turn based. I'm interested. Maybe it's kind of like the combat in Master of Orion, maybe kind of like Dynasty Tactics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogbert Posted May 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2007 IGN have more information: R-Type Tactics looks like a traditional shooting game, right down to the side-scrolling perspective, only instead of freely moving about and blasting enemy ships, you take turns with the enemy, making careful movements over a grid. Perform an attack, and the game switches to an effect-filled attack sequence. The side-scrolling perspective isn't all you'll recognize from the series. The game includes similar weapons as well as boss characters who will be instantly recognizable by hardcore fans. The "force" sub-weapons play a big part as well, adding extra power to your ship. Gimme, gimme, gimme, just on that description Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SCREWNUT Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 For some reason the description makes me think of Master of Orion 2. I still play that game! It's freaking awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
