R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate

Posted by John as 2d Shooter

As awkward as the title may sound, Irem is working on a sequel R-Type Tactics called Operation Bitter Chocolate. Its first PSP game strays far from its shmup predecessors. See an Advance Wars-like turn-based strategy in its game play.

The sequel has the force of Earth, Bydo Empire, and Granzela army locked in a hex grid war.

R-Type Command sequel is coming at you on October 27 to Japanese retailers. Irem is preparing a downloadable version scheduled to come out on the same day. A boxed copy is priced 5,040 yen ($53) while the downloadable release goes for 3,800 yen ($40).
