In Gradius III, players assume the role of a skilled spaceship pilot, commanding the Vic Viper, a powerful star fighter, in a mission to save the galaxy from the invading Bacteria Empire. The game features fast-paced side-scrolling shooting gameplay, putting players' reflexes, strategy, and firepower to the test.

Players navigate through a series of challenging levels set in space and alien environments, encountering waves of enemy ships, obstacles, and powerful boss encounters. The Vic Viper is equipped with an array of weapons, including lasers, missiles, and a force field, which can be upgraded by collecting power-ups scattered throughout the levels.
