About the Game

Ready for a blast from the past? R-TYPE II, straight from the minds at Dotemu, hands you all the frenetic action of a classic Arcade shooter—with a few slick upgrades for good measure. You’re piloting the R-9C starfighter, and the menacing Bydo Empire isn’t going down without a fight. Every run feels like a new challenge, and those massive bosses? Yeah, they’re just as wild as you remember. If you’ve got a soft spot for old-school shooters or just love testing your reflexes, this is your kind of chaos—especially if you’re trying it out on BlueStacks.

Game Features

  • Six Action-Packed Stages
    Battle across six totally unique levels, each ending with a tough-as-nails boss that’ll take all your firepower and a bit of grit to defeat.

  • Weapon Upgrades and Power-Ups
    Luckily, your ship isn’t stranded—stash up on fresh weapons like the Search Laser and Shotgun Laser, plus an all-new bomb for hammering ground targets.

  • Graphic Modes
    Choose between pixel-perfect original graphics or spruce things up with filters and scanlines—however retro you wanna go.

  • Flexible Difficulty Options
    Whether you’re after a no-strings unlimited mode, the classic Arcade difficulty, or a truly punishing ‘insane’ run, there’s something for your skill level.

  • Customizable Controls
    Tweak controls to fit your style—switch between a virtual D-Pad or touchscreen controls, shuffle the layout, and toggle auto-fire if you want that thumb break.

  • Multilingual Support
    Play your way—R-TYPE II offers support in 10 different languages, making sure just about anyone can jump in.

  • Achievements and Leaderboards
    Unlock achievements as you play and see how your skills stack up against other pilots in online leaderboards.

  • Full-Screen or Classic View
    Go big with a full display or stick to the original screen ratio for a real Arcade room vibe.

  • Controller Compatibility
    Prefer physical controls? The game works with a variety of gamepads, adding to that authentic arcade feel—especially nice if you’re on BlueStacks.
