    Super Hydorah is a slick and polished game. The controls are nice and tight, the graphics are atmospheric and suitably varied in style and palette, and the music is above average. I especially like the way the power up system works. You choose your weapons at the start of each level and collect other items and 'minor' power ups throughout the level. There are lots of regular checkpoints,Super Hydorah is a slick and polished game.

You choose your weapons at the start of each level and collect other items and 'minor' power ups throughout the level. There are lots of regular checkpoints, you don't power down too badly when you die, and you have unlimited continues. Despite all this, the game is no pushover, but you do have the opportunity to learn from your failures to make incremental progress. And by your 3rd play through you will feel like a boss which is super satisfying! If you like this genre you should definitely give this game a try. It is very well made and very enjoyable to play.… Expand

    A great -but short- homage to the old shoot'em up classic that is as hard as it is satisfying.

    Super Hydorah is a fitting tribute to 16-bit era 2D shoot'em ups. Obviously, this implies a sharp difficulty level, which can become frustrating at certain moments but the game's variety when it comes to weapons and routes is a very attractive factor. What Super Hydorah amounts to is this is a marvelous 2D shooter and a very nice surprise on the Nintendo Switch catalogue.

    Overall, Super Hydorah takes the classic shmup mold and bolts on its own unique elements to produce something new and bold. Definitely give it some consideration the next time you’re strolling through the eShop.
