Shining Force III also possesses an exploration mode that occurs outside of battle. Thus, there is no Game Over, and the player's army gets stronger even upon its defeat, although the leader's death results in the player losing half of their money. The Force keeps any experience that is obtained, regardless of the battle's outcome. Even if the player army is defeated, the player can recover allies and retry the battle. The enemy side wins if they kill the player's leader (Synbios in Scenario 1, Prince Medion in Scenario 2 and Julian in Scenario 3), or if the player chooses to escape the battle by casting Return.

Each unit can move up to a fixed amount of squares along the battlefield, determined by its Move statistic. Battles take place in square grids, and each unit occupies one square. ![]() Like earlier Force games in the Shining series, Shining Force III is a turn-based tactical role-playing game. ![]()
