About
The spectacular, fully-reimagined evolution of a legendary shoot ’em up!
In the distant future, humanity faces its greatest threat: the Bydo Empire, a horrifying bio-mechanical life-form capable of corrupting and absorbing anything it touches. Although humans once created the Bydo as a weapon, the experiment spiraled out of control. Now the Bydo exist beyond normal space and continually attempt to invade human reality.
After multiple wars and near-extinction events, the Bydo return once again—stronger, more adaptive, and far more aggressive. To counter this new invasion, the Earth Space Corps develops a cutting-edge fighter: the R-90 Ragnarok, a next-generation R-Type craft.
As the pilot of the R-90, you’re deployed into hostile zones that warp between normal space and the twisted Bydo dimension. Your mission: penetrate deep into enemy territory, dismantle the Bydo’s core networks, and ultimately destroy the heart of the empire before it engulfs humanity completely…
R-Type Dimensions III brings the intensity, precision, and creative enemy design of the arcade originals to a new generation. Every stage, boss, and projectile pattern has been rebuilt with high-end 3D graphics, enhanced animations, and richly detailed environments—while preserving the instantly recognizable atmosphere that defined R-Type’s identity.
Building on the legacy of R-Type Dimensions and R-Type Dimensions EX, Dimensions III has been completely re-envisioned with cutting-edge visuals and sounds, expanded gameplay modes, and a range of new features designed to deliver the most definitive modern edition of R-Type’s classic era.
Features:
- A fully remastered experience with completely reconstructed assets
- Local co-op, enhanced with new scoring and survival mechanics
- Customizable controls and quality-of-life features in the settings
- 3D Camera settings (normal and crazy)

R-Type Dimensions III is a neat novelty remaster of a shoot-'em-up classic, but it should have been even neater. R-Type III isn't the series' best-known, and it has a nice novelty feel about it. The presentation work is decent in terms of configurable options and locked frame rates, and that snazzy 3D-2D button switch is a beguiling gimmick.
But there's no getting around the fact that the developer has made a mess of the accuracy. Purists will be dismayed, and those attempting to play through it will feel incredibly frustrated by the increased and frankly unfair difficulty level. That the original SNES game is still here in some form, now running at 60fps, with a new two-player co-op mode and fresh audio remaster, may be enough to sell you on a purchase; it is, both happily and sadly as the case may be, still the superior version.
