Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 9 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
That long-imagined IF has finally become reality.
Fight straight through from the First Bydo Mission to the Second Bydo Mission
in “Ultimate Challenge,” the series-spanning ultimate mission.
In Music Encore, relive this legendary IF with brand-new soundtracks
that can be enjoyed exclusively in this mode!
“Ultimate Challenge” features its first-ever full soundtrack.
Even scenes that originally shared music have been given
dedicated tracks faithful to the arcade experience,
allowing every stage to be played with the same musical structure
as the original arcade version.
The music is composed by WASi303,
a specialist in retro game sound.
By harnessing authentic sound chips from portable hardware,
he delivers an experience that preserves the original feel of the era
while offering something fresh and new.
* When starting from the title screen in Classic mode,
R-TYPE and R-TYPE II can be played in either monochrome or color,
selectable within the game.
In the year 220X, humanity witnessed true darkness!!
The first encounter with extraterrestrial life to be recorded in cosmic history.
Space Era 220X—
In an alternate dimension hundreds of light-years away lies the Bydo Empire.
What humanity saw there were alien beings overflowing with hatred and bloodlust.
Survival or extinction—humanity’s fate hung in the balance as the battle began, armed with the ultimate weapon: the Force!
Once again, the terrifying Bydo return—their counterattack has begun!
The malevolent Bydo Empire, a force that annihilates everything in its path within an alternate dimension,
was believed to have been eradicated by the “R-9” fleet humanity dispatched.
But it survived.
It had fled to another dimension, regaining its strength in secret.
Now, the Bydo Empire, seething with hatred, has torn through the dimensional barrier to strike at humanity once more.
In response, mankind has deployed the enhanced “R-9” craft—together with the ultimate weapon, the Force…
An ultimate mission that lets you fight straight through
from the First Bydo Mission (R-TYPE) to the Second Bydo Mission (R-TYPE II).
In addition to the standard score,
detailed performance data such as hit rate and number of continues are also recorded.
How few mistakes can you make to clear the challenge?
Player-Friendly Support Features
Beginner-friendly features such as Rewind, quick save & load, and full power-up start are included, and rapid-fire shots are available.
In addition, as a feature unique to Music Encore, “Encore Track” is implemented, displaying the titles of newly arranged tracks based on the arcade versions.
Packed with Extra Content
The Extra section includes a wide variety of digitized materials, such as original packages and flyers from the time.
You can also take on various missions through the achievement system and unlock your accomplishments.
R-TYPE DX is a title that brought together
the arcade-hit side-scrolling shooters R-TYPE and R-TYPE II,
ported to a handheld system.
With the inclusion of “Ultimate Challenge”,
which allows players to fight through both titles in one continuous run,
it offered a unique way to experience the series.
In this remastered release,
R-TYPE DX: Music Encore,
new “what-if” sounds that did not exist at the time have been added,
along with modern support features,
delivering a deeper and more refined gameplay experience.
Sums Steam only; PlayStation, Xbox publish no volume signal, so the true total is higher by an unknown amount.

Reviews
A lot of GB/GBC ports of console/arcade games end up sacrificing core parts of their respective games, but R-Type DX does a pretty good job of remaining faithful. There is some missing content, but the bulk of both R-Type I and II is there, with the DX mode combining both into one long shmup fest. The new soundtrack in this re-release ups the quality and brings it closer to the arcade originals. Something that took me by surprise is some nice sprite work and redone stage theming which helps this version stand out. Sure, there are better ways of playing the first two games nowadays but it is a fun experience for those interested in the series history and/or fancy a different experience for such classics.
Neat emulated port of R-Type DX from the Gameboy Color, complete with a mode that contains newly arranged music from the arcade version. Everything from the original R-Type DX is here and accounted for, and everything you expect from an emulated port is here, including save states and rewinding. The emulation quality feels solid and the interface is good. The rearranged music is a banger. If you are an avid R-Type fan, you'll like this release.

Jogo bem legalzinho para os fãs de r-type. Ele junta as o 1 e o 2 numa sequência como se fossem um jogo só. Tem recurso de rebobinar, e é possível salvar em qq parte do jogo, então isso facilita bastante. Não usei o recurso de rebobinar, mas salvei sempre que passava de fase, e ia salvando em locais estratégicos, assim ficou bem fácil conseguir as conquistas de pontuação que em tese seriam as mais difíceis. Senti um pouco de queda de fps jogando no steam deck, mas nada que atrapalhasse a gameplay. Só em alguns pontos que achei o hitbox do jogo zoado, que eu morria sem ser atingido. Mas no geral eu gostei. Mesmo que tenha sido uma platina em cerca de 1h.e pouco, achei que valeu. Mas sou suspeito pq sempre gostei de r-type, desde o master system.
Look, is this the best version of R-Type? Hahahahahahahahaha GOD NO Are there other versions of R-Type you should play first? Absolutely. But God, I must have played hundreds of hours of this on the GameBoy Color. I brought that sucker to weddings, to family gatherings, absolutely everywhere. And look, the real problem with this game was never the fact that it didn't have the arcade music.. The problem was that it was a bullet hell shmup that was running off the pure, raw, unrestrained power of...the GameBoy Color. But I could never hate this goofy ass game. I think most people will get everything they need off the other R-Type games available on Steam and elsewhere. But this little thing was such a formative part of my childhood that I needed to check it out. If you're playing through all the R-Type games, check it out. It will be at most a curiosity for like 95% of players, but it's still an interesting port go such a....once again, INCREDIBLY powerful system, as the GameBoy Color.
probably the best way to enjoy these games. the game does have some issues such as some button prompts being different than what is displayed and some weird sprite shenanigans at the second part's end boss. achievement tracking between game and steam is also buggy too. the biggest quality-of-life is definitely the increased sprite limit as the original game had massive issues particularly with the stage 10 boss and its disappearing enemy bullets. the bullets are legible in this release. the revamped soundtrack is sooooo much better too (though i suppose it doesn't sound very gameboy-ey anymore). good purchase and easier to clear compared to the arcade version
Toute mon enfance 10/10
GB版のR-Typeのリメイク GB版はやったことないがR-Typeファンとしては買わざるを得ない 無印R-Typeと攻略方法が違うため、そこそこ楽しめた 音楽も古き良き音楽となっている為、楽しめる 実績解除も通しプレイで全部解除してしまった ゲーム全体的の評価としてはとても良いが もう少しやりこみ要素（実績解除とか）あるとよかったかも
本作是原版于90年代末发售在GBC平台的《R-TYPE》与《R-TYPE II》的合集，该系列最为特色的是其独特的Force僚机系统。但是此番Steam版绝非是简单的打包，不但增加了倒带、即时存读档等功能，最重要的是进行了曲目的重制，使得原版单一的关卡通用曲目变为了类似于街机版的编排。此外还支持2代作品无缝连续游玩，一口气体验全部内容。除此之外，该合集还完美收录了包装盒、卡带、说明书以及宣传单及原画样式，电子博物馆无疑了。 [quote]关注「 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/42276832//]鸿源鉴游组」 [/url] [/quote] [u][b] 会当逢佳游，始可见鸿源。 [/b][/u]
