'R-Type Final 2' (ALL) Launches Paypal Crowdfunding Campaign

R-Type Final 2 is the latest title in the long-running, side-scrolling, shoot-'em-up series.

The R-Type series was created in 1987, and R-Type Final 2 will be the the latest title of the long-standing side-scrolling shooter game series.

R-Type Final 2 steps it up in its explosive debut on current platforms with 3D graphics and modernized gameplay features. New and old players alike can shape their experience to their liking with the performance-based difficulty system and customizable ships and pilots, while experiencing classic R-Type trademarks such as the "Force" mechanic and an addictive gameplay loop. Navigate an entire universe of new and classic stages, face enemies that evolve with your performance, and blast the competition away with worldwide leaderboards in this successor to the acclaimed R-Type franchise.

In addition, the "Real-time Level Function" automatically adjusts the difficulty level according to players' skill and ability in shooter games. The difficulty level is displayed on the screen so that the players can check their scores in real-time. The higher the difficulty level, the more scores the player gets. Players who are not familiar with R-Type games can set a cap on the difficulty level to avoid gameplays that are too difficult and play according to their level.

The stages that appeared in the earlier work will come back with new expressions and interpretations.

Last year, Granzella Inc ran crowdfunding campaigns that were successfully supported by more than 10,000 backers. Once again, we would like to extend our gratitude for your support. Ever since the second crowdfunding round ended in October 2019, we have had many requests for another round.

Therefore we decided to launch a third crowdfunding round on the special page on the official website for one month from October 27th (Japan Time) onwards. PayPal is the only method of payment.

Please note that due to the short period until the game's release, certain reward tiers that would affect the game's content will not be available for this crowdfunding campaign. We appreciate your understanding.

The stretch goals, which increase the quality/ quantity of game components based on the funding level, will continue as they were in the past two crowdfunding rounds. We will add the fund we receive to the amount we already have raised.This campaign will also draw attention from fans who have already backed our campaign. More details will be updated on the official website and social media of "R-Type Final 2".

Also, backers will be able to view “Team R-Type Final 2”, the dedicated website for the backers. After receiving your support, we will contact you separately.

Our development progress and latest information will be updated regularly on the Team R-Type Final 2 website, so please stay tuned for it.
