Super Hydorah

Super Hydorah is not worth $20. However, if you can grab it during a Steam sale for $1.99, or pick up a key for around $1, it's worth your time. Super Hydorah is a tough-as-nails shoot 'em up with gorgeous retro pixel art. The controls are simple, but responsive, giving you everything you need without overcomplicating the game. Levels feature branching paths, and along the way you'll unlock new weapons and tools that can completely change your strategy from stage to stage. For the most part, the game feels challenging, but fair. That said, some stages (talking to you Galactic Inferno) are punishingly long. You only have a limited number of lives to clear each level, and if you run out before reaching the end, you're sent all the way back to the beginning. Most stages feature two bosses, but the longer levels can throw as many as four at you. You'll need to stay focused from start to finish, because it's easy to burn through your lives. As mentioned before, if you like arcade games or shoot em ups in general, and you can get Super Hydorah for a couple bucks, it's absolutely worth your time. Please do not spend $20 for this game.

wow they made a game like they used to before i was born. the quality is so low, the pacing is slow, and they even have checkpoints, fantastic

Void hides ancient wrath A lone ship guns down the dark Legends fight again

It's a cool throwback to the old arcade times, but unfortunatelly not really fun to play. The graphics is nice, and the music is great. The problem is ship speed and firepower. You can't play this on react, because your ship is simply too slow. To make things worse levels are super tight and you will pretty often crash into the walls and loose precious shields. And since you only have 1 shield (or 3 on rookie) it gets old pretty fast. When you die you loose damage upgrades, so it gets harder on retries. YOU HAVE TO MEMORIZE ALL LEVELS AND ENEMY PLACEMENTS in order to perfectly plot your flight path. Otherwise you will die constantly due to that low ship manoeuvrability. I would recommend this game only to hardcore players, who like to suffer and are OK with memorizing everything. Playing this on react I managed to clear like 4 planets in 3 hours. After this one session I feel like after a whole day of work. So yea, it's not a relaxing game by any means. And you can't save when you want. You have to clear the level and then quit. Otherwise you will loose progress. It's not a bad game, but I fear it's way too annoying for most players. You simply can't play this for fun or to relax…

This is a killer SHMUPS (Shoot 'em Up) and reminds me of playing games in the 90s and 2000s! Lots of weapons, levels, and enemies which really help keep the game interesting through multiple replays.
