R.TYPE

R.Type is an action arcade shooter available on iOS. Originally released in 2013, the game draws inspiration from the classic R-Type series' design philosophy within a mobile context.

Recent activity in the R-Type community has centered on related projects rather than the original title itself. Chrome Horizon, a new shoot-em-up for the Commodore 64, represents a spiritual successor that channels R-Type's arcade sensibilities for retro hardware. The game received its version 1.1 update, with retroteamgames positioning it as a substantial effort rather than a casual fan project, demonstrating that classic 8-bit systems still have life for new arcade experiences.
