R-Type Delta HD Boosted: the return of a cult shoot'em up!

RETURN OF A TIMELESS CLASSIC
Since its international success in 1998, R-Type Delta has been considered one of the best shoot 'em ups of all time. Now, 27 years later, history repeats itself with R-Type Delta HD Boosted. With its polished levels, three available ships, powerful Delta weapons, and the incredible Force module, this new edition proves that cult games of this caliber are truly timeless.

If you played R-Type Delta back in the day, this is the perfect opportunity to dive back into its sinister sci-fi universe. And if you're completely unaware of this essential piece of gaming history, this is your chance to change that.

MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN EVER
R-Type Delta HD Boosted boasts high-resolution graphics that elevate this PlayStation masterpiece to a whole new level. Experiencing R-Type Delta in high definition is a whole new experience. This version of the game also includes a new Training mode for those who want to hone their skills before taking to the skies!

NEW SOUNDTRACK BY HÜLSBECK, ISHIDA AND THE USP SOUND TEAM
R-Type Delta's musical atmosphere has always been one of its strong points. The HD Boosted version includes new music tracks composed by Masahiko Ishida (R-Type II, Image Fight), the USP sound team (who composed the music for the original in 1998), and finally, Chris Hülsbeck. Hülsbeck is, of course, an iconic composer in the video game world, having already worked on R-Type for the Commodore 64 and Amiga. The new soundtrack for R-Type Delta HD Boosted is truly extraordinary!

ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING
Another defining feature of R-Type Delta is its dark and gloomy atmosphere. Shoot 'em ups aren't typically known for their storytelling, but R-Type Delta HD Boosted excels in this area thanks to its minimalist environmental storytelling, typical of the late 90s. Where the storytelling is captivating and thrilling, it's also disturbing and anxiety-inducing. And all this without words.

MEANING OF DELTA
The term "Delta" has several meanings. For starters, the Greek letter delta resembles a triangle, a geometric shape with as many sides as there are ships in the game. Coincidence? It's also the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet, and R-Type Delta is the fourth entry in the R-Type series. Finally, the delta triangle is the most basic polygon, which makes sense considering that R-Type Delta was the first entry in the series to use 3D polygon graphics instead of 2D sprites.

SCENARIO
2163. The R9 Arrowhead fighter returns to Earth in poor condition after its mission to destroy the Bydo Empire. The ship is rescued by the battlecruiser Croque-Monsieur and transported to an orbiting space station. One year later, as astronomers in Central Asia observe mysterious objects falling from the sky, all connection with the orbital annihilation platform Moritz-G is lost. A cutting-edge machine capable of destroying the entire planet swoops down on a city and razes it to the ground. Although its destructive weapons have not yet been activated, its advanced defense systems make Moritz-G impossible to approach. A last-ditch military operation is launched, and the prototype ship R9aII Delta is deployed to resolve the situation. Thus begins the epic battle that is R-Type Delta!
