Have you played any good shoot-’em-ups lately? If the answer to that is yes, I would be willing to bet it wasn’t made recently. The shooter genre has become so much of a relic that the term ‘shooter’ barely applies anymore. What was once a catch-all term for the hundreds of games based on moving a vehicle or character in 2D space and shooting enemies has now become the catch-all term for any 3D game that has shooting a gun as the main mechanic, usually with a protagonist in third or first-person. Granzella and NIS America intend on bringing the horizontal-shooter back to its roots with R-Type Final 2, the first mainline R-Type entry since 2003. With a successful Kickstarter campaign that followed an April 1, 2019 announcement that Granzella had to assure was not an April Fools joke, R-Type Final 2 is now available for all shmup fans, old and new, after two years of development.
