R-Type Delta (アール・タイプ デルタ Āru Taipu Deruta?) is a horizontally scrolling shooter video game. Released only on the PlayStation, this is the fourth game in the R-Type series (hence Delta, the fourth letter of the Greek alphabet), and also the first game offering different fighters, with different Force and Wave Cannon combinations for the player to choose from. Set in 2164, Delta is also the first game in the R-Type series rendered in full 3D graphics.
The game introduced the Dose System, which allows Forces to absorb energy through collisions with projectiles or enemies. Every Force has a Dose Gauge, and when the Dosage becomes 100%, the player can use the fighter's Delta Attack, a superweapon attack whose form depends on the fighter being used.
R-Type Delta received favorable reviews. Peter Bartholow, writing for GameSpot, awarded the game a score of 8.2/10 concluding that "if there's one PlayStation shooter to own, R-Type Delta is that shooter."
