Super Hydorah Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Super Hydorah goes toe-to-toe with Konami's Gradius series in terms of quality. Polished to a shiny sheen, those looking to relive the past will not be disappointed with this title.
Following in the footsteps of 80s and 90s genre big names like Gradius, R-Type, and Darius, independent Spanish developer Locomalito knows what it’s like to design a 2D shooter. I realise there’s a bit of caution exercised against western shoot ‘em ups made outside of Japan, but in this case any trepidation is unwarranted. From its freeware origins back in 2010 as Hydorah, it’s instantly discernable that Super Hydorah is a labour of love. Coupled with retro visuals and a killer soundtrack from Gryzor87, Super Hydorah has that delightful sense of style that sucked me in immediately.
Super Hydorah is a fast-paced, challenging, non linear SHMUP that gives a new turn of the screw to the gameplay of classics such as Gradius, R-Type, Darius or Turrican.
There hasn't been a worthwhile indie shoot 'em up for a while but that's about to change. Super Hydorah will bring you back to a time when pure skill is all you needed to master a game so let's get ready to shoot!
The 80s shmup genre has been rekindled by the all-new retro-shooter Super Hydorah. This side-scrolling adventure comes with instant death, unique power-ups, and tons of levels that players can explore as they weave through the multiple paths through the game. It's easy to pick and up and play, but mastering this game will take more than just a typical gamer. Only the fittest will survive this mission.
