    Overview

    First released in 1987, Hydlide 3 is an action RPG like its forebears, in which the player runs around a map defeating monsters and earning experience. It plays very much like Hydlide II.

    The game has NPCs in towns to talk to, equipment and items to buy from shops, and more story presentation including an animated opening cutscene.

    The game retains the morality meter of its predecessor and expands the time option with an in-game clock and survival elements such as needing to sleep and eat. The game uses four distinct character classes.

    The plot incorporates sci-fi elements, with settings including forestland, medieval villages, tunnels, a cloud city, medieval castles, futuristic castles, a parallel dimension, and 200 screens of outer space.

    A graphically enhanced version was later released on the Genesis / Mega Drive as Super Hydlide in 1989, and as Hydlide 3: Special Version on the NEC PC-9801 in 1989 and Sharp X68000 in 1990. Super Hydlide was advertised as "Hollo Fighter" prior to the game's release.
