Product Information
The story of R-Type Delta throws players into the year 2163, a time of utter chaos. After suffering massive damage, the Bydo Empire has resurfaced with new plans to destroy Earth. By using the destructive newly infected Mortiz-G as a doomsday weapon, the evil empire is threatening to destroy all of the planet's major cities and eventually the human race.<br><br>Naturally, it is up to you to save the planet by commandeering one of three different R-Type warships! The R9a Delta features a devastating energy dispersing wave cannon with a special nuclear fusion weapon and a quad-force (force powers are explained in the next paragraph). Developed by McGwire Co. Ltd., the Rx features an arsenal of wave cannons, a time disruption corridor, a chain reaction missile, and a tentacle force. Finally, the R13 uses a lighting cannon with a dimensional rift, photon missile, and a claw-shaped anchor force.<br><br>Force power-ups can be found within the seven different levels of R-Type Delta. Coming in three different colors (yellow, red, blue), the force powers can be attached on the front of a ship or on the back. Not only can they absorb enemy fire, they are indestructible; and by collecting more force pickups of the same color, the attack will be much more devastating.<br><br>All seven levels are played from a 3D side-scrolling perspective (much like Squaresoft's Einhander). The call of duty will have players battling Mecha-Bydo enemies throughout demolished city streets, a run-down energy reactor, Earth's space fortresses, and a ripple in time through another dimension. This journey isn't a cakewalk, however, as there are countless enemies waiting to destroy your tiny vessel!<br><br>Best described as organic robot machines, the enemies come from all quadrants of the playing screen. Not only will players have to deal with the Mortiz-G, but they'll have to destroy the crippling Contrite, the reproductive Eve models, a dimension dwelling organism known only as Cyst, and U-Launch Missile Pods.<br><br>Think you've got what it takes to save the world? Let's hope so -- the Earth is counting on you, pilot! And if you're good enough, send in your high scores to Agetec's R-Type Delta website!Product Identifiers
