Play R-Type III - The Third Lightning (Europe) (Beta) Online
Pilot your R-9C spacecraft, blast through alien hordes, dodge hazards, and take down massive bosses in this challenging side-scrolling shooter.
R-Type III: The Third Lightning was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1994, developed by Irem and published by Irem and Nintendo. It arrived during a period when the SNES was well established, offering a polished and demanding entry in the side-scrolling shooter genre.
You pilot the R-9C spacecraft through horizontally scrolling stages filled with alien enemies and environmental hazards. Your main objective is to survive each stage and defeat the large boss waiting at the end. The game's signature mechanics include the Force pod, an attachable unit that can be positioned in front of or behind your ship to block shots and amplify your own firepower, and the new Delta weapon system, which offers three distinct shot types you can switch between at any time. The pacing is relentless, and the difficulty is notoriously high, demanding precise movement and strategic use of your tools. It feels tense and demanding, rewarding careful play with moments of explosive satisfaction.
