RoboCop 3 is a side-scrolling platform shooter adapted from the movie of the same name. Players take on the role of RoboCop to complete missions like rescuing captured colleagues. The game features multiple levels made up of platforms, teeming with enemies that fire at players. Special repair tools collected during levels can restore health after completion. Compared to its predecessor, RoboCop 3 emphasizes shooting mechanics more, with more numerous and challenging enemies. It also introduces a limb damage system, requiring players to perform repairs between levels to keep RoboCop functional.
