R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is an absolute gem of a shoot 'em up that's near and dear to my heart but holy hot darn, will it make you want to rip your hair out so make sure you bring plenty of patience and it'll end up being a supremely rewarding experience.

R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is an essential title for fans of shoot 'em ups, and its revamped version has made it as appealing as many current titles. However, if you're not a fan of the genre—or don't enjoy dying thousands of times in the same area full of giant fish—Delta might be a little more difficult to digest. Now, if you're willing to experience this gem from the late 1990s, you can add it to your library without hesitation.

Ultimately, this is a brilliant remaster of a great title, and if you’re a fan of shmups, this is a must.

R-Type Delta is an incredible SHMUP that sits among the very best of its era, or any era for that matter. Its high level of difficulty and low level of adaptability may turn some players off, but genre fans who haven’t gotten a chance to play it absolutely need to check it out.

As far as remasters go, R-Type Delta HD Boosted adds very little in terms of new content. There’s the new soundtrack (which is fantastic), the supposed graphical boost, along with the Practice Mode, and…that’s it. It’s a smaller offering than what some of the other remasters of this year have brought to the table, but it successfully manages to preserve the refreshing yet frustrating experience of its source material.

While this is the shoot 'em up port we most wanted to see (alongside Gradius V at least), it's also such a straight, unambitious port that it doesn't really do justice to such a beloved game. Sure, the original magic is still there but they've done very little to enhance or modernise it, beyond a quick and dirty upscale.

R-Type Delta HD Boosted offers tight gameplay and nostalgic strategy, but muddy visuals and collision bugs hold it back from greatness.

Summary The year is 2163, and the badly damaged R-9A Arrowhead has just returned to earth after defeating the Bydo Empire, and is recovered by the battle cruiser, Croque Monsieur. Peace doesn’t last for long though, because one year later, deadly objects begin to fall from the sky. Control is lost over the deadly Moritz-G orbiting annihilatio...
