Renegade III: The Final Chapter is a scrolling
beat'em up video game released on the Amstrad CPC, Commodore 64, MSX, and ZX Spectrum in 1989 by Ocean Software under their "Imagine" label. The game is a sequel to Target: Renegade which itself is a sequel to the arcade game Renegade
. 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.
An Amiga version was developed but never released. It was leaked years later.[1]
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 C+VG,[2] 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.[citation needed]
The Spanish magazine Microhobby valued the game with the following scores:[3] Originality: 30% Graphics: 80% Motion: 80% Sound: 80% Difficulty: 100% Addiction: 80%
