In the distant future, humanity faces its greatest threat: the Bydo Empire, a terrible industrial life form capable of corrupting and absorbing anything it touches. Although humans initially created Bydo as a weapon, the experiment got out of control. Now, Bydo exists beyond normal space and continuously attempts to invade human reality.

After many wars and near extinction events, Bydo returns once again – stronger, more adaptable, and much more aggressive. To confront this new invasion, the Earth's Space Forces develop a state-of-the-art fighter: the R-90 Ragnarok, a next-generation R-Type craft.

As the pilot of the R-90, you are assigned to hostile zones oscillating between normal space and the warped Bydo dimension.

Your mission is to penetrate deeply into enemy territory, dismantle Bydo's central networks, and ultimately destroy the heart of the empire before it fully consumes humanity.

R-Type Dimensions III combines the intensity, precision, and creative enemy design of the original arcade games with a new generation.
