Selected Reviews

DarkZero: 9/10
Syder Arcade is a wonderful title that has brought all of the good components from the 90s arcade side-scrolling shooters into the modern-day era.

RGCD: 4/5
A chrome-plated supercharged gunship of a shmup, and I can see Syder Arcade remaining on my hard drive indefinitely.

Armless Octopus: 4.5/5
The brutal difficulty of Syder Arcade may put many folks off from it, but those who are familiar with the genre should be no stranger to adversity. The lush visuals, distinct feel to each ship, and variety of missions bring a lot to the table, and make this a solid addition to any gamer's diet.

DarkStation: 4/5
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.

Multiplayer.it: 8.6/10
Studio Evil's game is able to bring back emotions we thougt possible only trough emulators.

Pixelprospector Finest
Syder Arcade is a faithful tribute to shmups in general and to the classic Defender in particular. It feels like a lost classic with its challenging oldschool gameplay that impresses with fantastic 2.5D graphics and tight controls. Highly recommended for any shmup nut!
