R-Type Dimensions III for PlayStation5 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 spiralled out of control. Now the Bydo exist beyond normal space and continually attempt to invade human reality.

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.
