Series X|S / PS4 / PC / Switch - 4/29/2026
R-Type DX: Music Encore features the ultimate mode, Ultimate Challenge, allowing players to battle through both titles seamlessly. For the first time, this mode includes a full soundtrack. Arcade-accurate stage themes have been newly implemented — including dedicated tracks for areas that originally shared music — enabling every stage to be played with the same musical structure as the arcade versions. Experience newly reconstructed sound created using authentic handheld hardware audio. The original R-Type and R-Type II are also included. In Classic mode, players can choose between monochrome and color versions, preserving the feel of the original release.

Review coverage
Numeric critic scoring uses full scored reviews once available. Review-in-progress scores act as temporary early signal only until full review scores exist. Unscored reviews still count as coverage, but they are not included in the critic average.

How to read this
