"Hydlide 3," released by T&E SOFT in 1987, is an action RPG.

This is the third installment in the iconic Japanese action RPG series, "Hydlide." and the player once again rises to the occasion to save Fairyland from a new crisis.

In addition to the graphics and sound inherited from the previous title as a sequel to the series, this ambitious work incorporates a moderate amount of various elements, such as the ability to choose a class, the concept of time, the need to eat during adventures, and the need to manage luggage due to the weight of items to be carried.

It can be said that this game title not only appealed to fans of the Hydlide series but also left a lasting impression on numerous gaming enthusiasts.
