« R-Type II is a game developed by DotEmu. The game features a retro graphics and a high level of difficulty, which at times makes the application frustrating. The game features a good longevity and original graphics, all at an affordable price and without in-app purchases. »
« R-Type II provides yet more old-school shmup action with vital controller support and a particularly masochistic streak. »
« This shoot 'em up is devilishly hard. »
« A wonderfully crafted love letter to R-Type II which is let down by its touchscreen control schemes. »
