About R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos
Outsmart and outgun your opponent in R-Type Tactics I • II Cosmos, the ultimate turn-based strategy shoot-’em-up collection! This two-game combination of the classic R-Type Tactics titles arrives on modern consoles for the first time, equipped with an armada of unique units to deploy across dozens of levels, all visually realized in Unreal Engine 5. Multiple campaigns allow you to take on the Bydo Empire or even play as them yourself, while competitive online play lets you square off against others.

Unreal 5 Engine or not.It doesn’t make for better visuals by default if the graphic artists/designers or programmers aren’t up to the task.And for a hex grid turn based strategy game Unreal 5 isn’t really needed.
