R-Type Tactics Getting A Sequel Full Of Bitter Chocolate

Wait, what? Good question. 1UP is reporting Irem Software Engineering has announced a sequel to the mostly overlooked R-Type Command (known as R-Type Tactics in Japan). The sequel, the bizarrely titled R-Type Tactics II: Operation Bitter Chocolate, is once again headed to the PSP and is currently scheduled to arrive in Japan on October 23.

R-Type Command differs from the typical side-scrolling shooter R-Type series in a big way: it's a turn-based strategy game in the same vein as Final Fantasy Tactics. It was a weird move.

Plus, whereas previous R-Type games focused on the ongoing war between the alien Bydo race and the humans, Operation Bitter Chocolate is apparently human-on-human.

Sexy?

R-Type Command (the english version of R-Type Tactics) is a wonderful turn-based strategy game, especially if you like games such as Nectaris / Military Madness, Panzer General, Advance Wars, and the like.

I'm glad R-Type Tactics II is being made, I can only hope it too sees a western release.

Here watch the pre-rendered CG trailer:

Personally I loved R-Type Command. I hope this sequel is really good.

R-Type is really failing right now, they need to get back to their roots.
