Single-player only, unlike some R-Type titles

No mid-stage checkpoints; death restarts entire level

Unlimited continues, but power-ups lost on death

Notable slowdown when many sprites/enemies on-screen, aiding navigation in chaotic moments

Reception:
Entertainment Weekly: #2 greatest game of 1991, praised graphics, pulp sci-fi alien designs

Super Gamer: 74%, noted good visuals but tedious restarts

IGN: Criticized as hardest R-Type, flawed by no checkpoints, rushed port

Mixed reviews; lauded for challenge, visuals, but criticized for slowdown, lack of checkpoints
Challenges:
Extreme difficulty, especially without checkpoints; even Novice mode tough for newcomers

Slowdown frequent in busy scenes, though some players found it strategically helpful

Long levels (e.g., stage 4 battleship) punishing without power-ups
