Prologue
Unknown life forms born from pure destructive instinct were fist observed in the Perseus Spiral arm.



Concern grew as the life forms began to multiply, with an apparent design in mind. The concern gave way to fear as the life forms penetrated further into the Orion arm, with an inevitable destination of Earth. The invaders were given a name: the Bydo Empire



To halt the Bydo's advance, next-generation fighters were deployed, and their versatility and power proved effective indeed in isolated skirmishes. But Earth's triumph was short-lived, as the Bydo did not relent in their assault until humanity was forced to retreat. to everyone's horror, the Bydo had reached the Solor System.



Horr turned to panic as humanity split into two factions. One group wanted to fight the Bydo, and rid the Solor System of its evil. Others moved to abadon their home and find shelter on another habitable world. Amid the turmoil, a lone Commander of the Space Corps received an impossible order: "Gather your remaining forces, and hunt the Bydo..."

Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Was on the fence but glad I crossed over
I read a number of reviews and hesitated at first. But when it hit discount I figured I had nothing to lose.

As the other reviewers noted, this is not the classic R-Type game. It is a strategy game along the lines of the traditional hex-based wargames. I have never really played those original R-Type games anyway so I get to treat this game with a clean slate.

Pros:
- It is very addictive

- Even if you lose a battle you don't lose all your ships. So you ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you are on the fence.....
This is one of those games that you must have! If you want a great game, here it is! Plus you can take it with you....

Don't be fooled, R-Type Command is solid!! Buy it today!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - An effective strategy offshoot of the R-Type series
The R-Type series takes an interesting detour with this competent hex-grid strategy game. It mixes the flashy style of the classic shooters with slower-paced balancing of tactical considerations.

It is important to note that the flashy animations are entirely optional. Since the attacks are canned animations with annoying load times, you can thankfully choose how and when these are shown. That includes: full-screen, full-at-random, windowed, windowed-at-random, or off. As such, the ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Misleading
Im usually pretty good about reading reviews. But this time i just watched part of the movie listed and made my purchase. Should have watched the whole thing because the first part is extremely misleading. Still a decent game if you like the whole rpg feel. But ive got enough rpg games, i dont need another. I wanted an action game, and action this game is not.



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Not what I was especting.
Not even the 1/2 of the fun of any previously R-Type versions.
If you are looking for a great shooter, this is not the one.
Even worst, this is NOT a shooter.
