Again, Bigben takes on an Irem product: following the underwater shooting Sub Rebellion and the gripping earthquake adventure “SOS The Final Escape” makes it R-Type Final a definite shoot’em-up treat in local realms.
In the Final-Episode, for the first time, more than one or three spaceships are available to the aspiring pilot. A total of 101 vehicles can be unlocked with a lot of diligence and even better nerves. And perseverance is worth it: Because the spacers we got aren’t just ugly color variants of the originals, but mostly newly designed space fighters with different weapon systems and special attacks. In this way, your virtual hangar gradually fills up with polygon ships that can be used in different tactical ways.
The range of models extends from the defensively oriented scout (collects information regarding your opponent types) to the powerful offensive device. While some spacers rely on unusual standard shots such as flamethrowers, laser grids and shock waves, other variants make short work of the enemies via triple chargeable beams, devastating grenade launchers and space-bending mega bombs. In addition, you can customize your favorite glider before each mission and determine the color scheme, type of ground armament and the appearance of any additional buoys.
