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 HD Boosted is a great game. It’s still the same brutal, unapologetic, and dark-as-hell shooter that came out back in the day. But now it’s here to torment you on your modern systems. It’s a landmark in the genre, and one that really does need to be experienced by anyone with a passing interest in shooters.

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.

R-Type Delta: HD Boosted is a glorious blast from the past that takes no prisoners. If you thrive under pressure and enjoy memorizing level layouts, this is the game for you. And if you don’t, give it a try anyway. It’s merciless, but incredibly engaging.

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.
