    Syder Arcade is visually incredible and the music and sound effects only add to the atmosphere that it generates.

    Syder Arcade is a beautiful shoot'em up inspired by some classic Amiga 500 titles, like Project X and Uridium 2.

    For the asking price of $7.99, anyone would be hard pressed to find such a quality shmup within reach, especially one which seems to not only to celebrate, but actually relish in the difficult roots which birthed it. Naming itself a love letter to the ’90s, Syder Arcade is a great ride to a glorious, and well earned, death.

    Don’t expect anything fancy. This is a run-of-the-mill arcade style action with no frills and a cool soundtrack.

    While I never owned an Amiga, I have always loved Shoot 'em Up games. The game videos tell everything. This game is well made. The campaignWhile I never owned an Amiga, I have always loved Shoot 'em Up games. The game videos tell everything. This game is well made. The campaign is varied (but haven't finished it yet), the enemies are fun, the controls are sharp (both keyboard and controller), and aside from the nifty graphics filters is a simple no-frills game. But that simplicity is the basis of it's charm. Not the best that I've ever played, but definitely the number one option from steam.… Full Review »
