The masterpiece side-scrolling shooting game "R-TYPE III" evolves into a new dimension with modern technology. "R-TYPE III THE THIRD LIGHTNING," originally released by Irem in 1993, has been completely remade with 3D graphics and newly arranged music. The legendary side-scrolling shooter once described as a "high-density tactical violence shooting game" returns, elevated to a new dimension through modern technology. After suffering devastating damage from the long war against the Bydo, humanity decides to launch a final battle against the core of the Bydo. The third Bydo mission, operation code "THE THIRD LIGHTNING," is initiated. The latest R-series fighter, the "R-90," built with the full technological capabilities of humanity, is launched toward the enemy core using a spatial transfer cannon and dives into the intense battlefield. As the third installment in the series, "R-TYPE III" greatly expands upon its predecessors. The iconic Force units of the series include three types, "Round," "Shadow," and "Cyclone." A total of nine laser types are available, and the wave cannon is significantly enhanced with the addition of the Mega Wave Cannon and Hyper Drive Mode. Combining tactical depth with exhilarating gameplay, the title stands among the most accomplished entries in the series. In this version, players can seamlessly switch between 2D and 3D visuals with a single button. A new two-player simultaneous play mode, not present in the original game, has also been added, allowing players to cooperate in the fight against the Bydo. The original game was also known for its high difficulty due to its life system and checkpoint respawn mechanics. To address this, a new "Infinity Mode" has been included. With unlimited lives and immediate respawn, even newcomers to the series can fully enjoy the experience. A legendary classic is rebooted for modern players. Experience the evolved battles of "R-Type." CERO Age Rating: Suitable for All Ages.
