HYDORA - Shoot em up review

In some ways Hydorah is what sets PC gaming apart and makes it unique. Sure, there are little free gems on other platforms, but somehow they seem to lack the passion and that level of attention to detail that developers like Locomalito put into their creations. Hydorah is a ‘free traditional game’ and Locomalito’s love letter to the retro space shooter genre, a game which doesn't lambast you with donation buttons or ad pages. If you ever recall playing a game that had you throwing your controller at the TV in frustration, well this game is sitting there going ‘hello remember me?’ Think of this game as the bastard son of the classics the developer says... quickly followed by ‘Prepare to Die!’
