2. Player Ship “Standard Force”

We have added the player ship "F-A Standard Force," which closely resembles the iconic invincible lifeform "Force" that symbolizes R-Type.
This player ship was selected from a poll conducted during the June 2024 YouTube live stream event, "Gathering of Granzella 2024."

We have added a new difficulty level, “FIRST STEP,” with enhanced support features.
This brings the total number of difficulty levels to eight.

スEven players new to R-Type can enjoy the thrill of clearing stages and the satisfaction of defeating enemies.
By utilizing the SLOW function, you can learn how to use the Wave Cannon and Force effectively, and develop the skills needed to take on the next difficulty level, “PRACTICE.”

In the FIRST STEP difficulty, the following support features are available:
- Always maintain full power-up status
- Reduced charge time for the wave cannon
- SLOW function is available for use
