Unlike the first two games, Renegade III follows the character known only as "Renegade" as he travels through time to rescue his captured girlfriend. It also dropped the two-player mode found in the previous title.

Reception

Though the game was highly praised by critics, receiving high scores in several prominent gaming publications such as a 91% score being awarded by Crash, and 84% in C+VG,[1] it was derided by fans who criticised the game's storyline, lack of deep gameplay, weapons, glitches, poor physics and lack of a two-player option.

The Spanish magazine Microhobby valued the game with the following scores:[2] Originality: 30% Graphics: 80% Motion: 80% Sound: 80% Difficulty: 100% Addiction: 80%

Amiga version

A Commodore Amiga version was developed but never released. It leaked years later, in XXI century[3]
