R-Type Dimensions EX heading to Steam and Switch this month

Are you ready for an alien invasion?

Whether or not possible alien probe Oumuamua is actually heading toward Earth to exterminate humankind, extraterrestrial experts agree that it’s important to be prepared. One of the best ways to be ready for a possible alien invasion is by honing your blasting skills on shoot ’em up games.

In an effort to save the planet, Tozai Games announced today that it has opened up store pages for the upcoming release of R-Type Dimensions EX. The classic shmup will be launching worldwide on Nintendo Switch and Steam on November 28, 2018.

The game will be available at a 20% discount (reduced from $14.99 to $11.99) for Switch pre-orders and during the first week of sale for both Steam and Switch, allowing humans everywhere the opportunity to hone their skills before the first wave strikes.

Additional features of R-Type Dimensions include:

  • Two complete games – Includes all eight original R-Type levels and all six original R-Type II levels
  • Multiple gameplay options – Switch between hi-res 2D/3D graphics with revamped music, or play the classic versions with the push of a button
