Atlus U.S.A., Inc. has announced that R-Type Command , a new turn-based strategy game in the long-celebrated series of side-scrolling shooters, is coming exclusively to the PSP. In a desperate war against the mysterious alien race known as the Bydo, humanity gets slaughtered and it looks like there is no way for a victorious outcome. Mankind's only hope lies in a lone commander, sent to lead a small armada on a perilous mission into the heart of the Bydo Empire. The new incarnation of R-Type will include features such as taking control of the enemy forces as well as commanding nearly 100 different units while deciding to upgrade your existing units or purchase new ones. Players can play head-to-head local multiplayer, with the PSP wireless communication feature or play against a friend in wireless Ad Hoc mode for a one-on-one strategy battle! R-Type Command is aiming to hit store shelves May 6th!
