'R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos' Launches Kickstarter Campaign To Add Additional Scenarios

by Rainier on Nov. 17, 2022 @ 5:53 p.m. PST

R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos combines the side-scrolling shoot 'em up action the series is known for with tactical turn-based strategy for a unique R-Type experience!

As the Bydo continue to attempt to wipe out humanity, they must be outwitted and outmaneuvered if the Space Corps is to have any chance of victory. That is, until you realize you're fighting alongside the very forces you were meant to destroy...

Redeveloped with Unreal Engine 5, this collection of two games is coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC, with R-Type Tactics II also making its western debut! Making its debut on modern consoles, this collection of two games comes with revamped visuals, online play, multiple campaigns, and branching missions!

You can use your forces in multiple campaigns and play as both Space Corps and Bydo. You can also compete online to see who is the ultimate tactician. With hundreds of ships and levels to choose from in both games, as well as branching missions and a new third campaign (all exclusive to R-Type Tactics II), R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos is packed with superior content!


Granzella has started a R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos Additional Scenario Production Project Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign, looking to raise $28,666, which will run from November 17 until November 30, 2022.

This crowdfunding project aims to add 24 new missions and units to make R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos more exciting and offer more profound enjoyment for everyone who plays the game.

Rewards available for backers include the right to appear as one of the adjutants in R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos (limited quantity) and the right to become a development advisor (limited quantity) to participate in planning meetings and playtests for the content production.

In addition, we have prepared rewards such as exclusive aircraft for backers to use in the shooter game R-Type Final 2, which is currently on sale, and R-Type Final 3 Evolved, which we plan to release exclusively for PS5 in March 2023.

"We believe that the release of the new scenarios, new units, and other additional content will make R-Type Tactics I・II Cosmos more exciting and offer a more profound enjoyment for everyone who plays the game. We would appreciate your support and understanding for this project."

Key Features:

  • New Frontiers: With the debut of R-Type Tactics II in the West, both titles make their way from PSP to modern consoles for the first time!
  • Whose side are you on? Multiple campaigns foreach faction and branching storylines in R-Type Tactics II ensure a unique gameplay experience across both titles, while exploring the world of R-Type and the origins of the sinister Bydo Empire.
  • Crush the competition: Compete against other players online in both R-Type Tactics I and R-Type Tactics II!
  • An Unreal Makeover: Both titles have been remastered with Unreal Engine 5 to create a strategically and visually immersive collection!

R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos will be coming to Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5 and PC (Steam) in Summer 2023!
