This shoot 'em up, which is very popular with gamers, is 90% off on Steam. But be warned, because it is very difficult and will put your skills to the test.

Many video games are available on Steam, and some are particularly well known among gamers. But currently, it's an independent and highly acclaimed title that is 90% off on the platform.

This is Super Hydorah, a 2D shoot 'em up created by Abylight Studios and released on Steam on September 20, 2017. With its unique universe, it plunges the player into the skin of the most skilled and powerful pilot in the galaxy in order to fight the Meroptians.

Thus, you get weapons and various accessories after each mission. As for your progress, it is not linear, and you can choose your path according to your desires.

A total of 21 levels and 35 sublevels are available, allowing you to extend your experience. Not to mention that you'll face over 100 different enemies and 35 bosses, which will put your skills to the test.

But be warned, because it is a very difficult game. Indeed, there are many dangers to avoid in each level, and the difficulty of the enemies continues to increase as you progress. Finally, there are various secrets to discover, as well as several endings.

A highly popular shoot 'em up with some flaws

With its design, Super Hydorah brings nostalgia to many players. And that's not all, because many of them also enjoy the game's difficulty. But while it is appreciated by 87% of players, there are a few flaws to consider.

Indeed, if you are not used to this kind of gameplay, you may have a bad experience. In addition, there are technical issues, as pointed out by user duerra, who states that the game is unplayable if your refresh rate is less than 60Hz.

If you want to play this game, it is currently available for $1.99 on Steam. But beware, because this offer ends on November 20.
