This game's been making me look foolish for 34 years now. It's difficult, but it always was. I'm always dubious about mobile versions of retro games that were never designed for touch screens as the mechanics never work satisfactorily, however R-Type doesn't just work on a phone, it feels more intuitive. I now struggle to play a different version using a controller as it feels too slow. Whether you want a nostalgia hit or one of gaming's legendary shoot-em up challenges, I recommend this. No ads

Ok so basically this is our R type from the 80s! The controls are ok if slightly slow to respond and all the gameplay is there so it brings back fond memories ! The only issue is the game seems to be sped up a bit it's a lot quicker than what I remember and therefore it comes across as somewhat Glitchy and buggy as well as this the sound in terms of the music is not very good it sounds too tinny and no where near as good as the original arcade game . Also the graphics are not as good as they should be and appear a bit Glitchy and slightly lack frames of animation nowhere near as good as the arcade original and for a Samsung 8 + phone that's ridiculous! Still worth getting if you're a fan of the arcade game a decent conversion
