Atlus U.S.A. has shipped
R-Type Command for PSP, a turn-based strategy game based on the classic series of side-scrolling shooters. In
R-Type Command, players take on the role of a lone commander, sent to lead a small armada on a mission into the heart of the Bydo Empire, an evil alien race that is out to destroy mankind. Players use these forces to take on the enemy with clever tactics, a dash of luck and the foresight to pick the right mix of units with the best firepower.
As the game progresses, players will be able to upgrade their existing ships or buy new ones, choosing from nearly 100 different units. As an added bonus, players can don the role of Bydo forces as they launch their assault on Earth. Finally, R-Type Command offers head-to-head multiplayer for up to two players via Wireless Ad Hoc mode.
Look for the game in stores today and check out the demo at the
PLAYSTATION Store.
