Announced this week by publisher NIS America, R-Type Tactics I + II Cosmos is an upcoming remaster of the two strategy-based spin-offs in the R-Type series. The original R-Type Tactics, which was dubbed R-Type Command in North America, hit PSP platforms in 2007 for those in Japan and the following year in other territories. Its sequel, the curiously-titled R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate, then arrived in 2009, but only for Japan. Now, this sequel is finally getting a worldwide release, some 17 years later, alongside its predecessor in a new remake.
What to Expect From This PSP Remake
When it comes to R-Type Tactics I + II Cosmos, the biggest overhaul to each game is its visuals. While the strategy gameplay at the root of the R-Type Tactics titles will remain similar, both games have been modernized with upgraded graphics that should represent a big leap from what was seen on PSP. In addition, wholly new content not seen in the original games has been added to R-Type Tactics I + II Cosmos and takes place after the conclusion of the second installment. As such, even those who might be very familiar with these games can expect some new missions to dive into as well.
