'R-Type Final 2' (ALL) 2nd Kickstarter Campaign Tomorrow - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Sept. 30, 2019 @ 11:42 a.m. PDT

R-Type Final 2 is the latest title in the long-running, side-scrolling, shoot-'em-up series.

On April 1st, Japanese game studio, Granzella Inc. revealed that it would develop R-Type Final 2 for PS4, quickly dismissed by most people as an April Fools joke, but as it turns out, it was legit.

The R-Type series was created in 1987, and R-Type Final 2 will be the the latest title of the long-standing side-scrolling shooter game series.

In addition, the "Real-time Level Function" automatically adjusts the difficulty level according to players' skill and ability in shooter games. The difficulty level is displayed on the screen so that the players can check their scores in real-time. The higher the difficulty level, the more scores the player gets. Players who are not familiar with R-Type games can set a cap on the difficulty level to avoid gameplays that are too difficult and play according to their level.

The stages that appeared in the earlier work will come back with new expressions and interpretations.

R-Type Final 2 is being designed by Granzella's Kazuma Kujo, known for the Zettai Zetsumei Toshi (Disaster Report) series, Manga Kakeru, and City Shrouded in Shadow to name a few, and also designed the R-Type Delta, R-Type Final, and R-Type Tactics series.


As you may know, we ran a Kickstarter campaign in June 2019 for the production project of ""R-Type Final 2"", the latest title of the side-scrolling shooter game ""R-Type series.

The campaign was successfully funded by more than 8,000 backers and we believe this was made only possible with your tremendous support.

However, we have received feedback from many people after the campaign that we should relaunch the campaign since the previous one lasted for a  short period. We have thus decided to run an additional crowdfunding campaign on our website.

This time, we have decided to run an additional crowdfunding campaign for one month starting from October 1 through the special page on the official website of "R-Type Final 2" ( Please note that PayPal is the only method of payment.) We are sorry that it took time for us to launch an additional campaign to solicit your support.

The stretch goals which increase the quality/ quantity of game component based on the funding level will continue as they were in our previous Kickstarter campaign.
