Hydorah for Windows
Pilot a spaceship through a branching campaign in Hydorah, Locomalito's free single-player horizontal shooter for Windows, with unlockable weapons and 30 boss fights.
What is Hydorah?
Hydorah is a side-scrolling shoot 'em up for players who enjoy learning enemy patterns and choosing equipment for each mission. You fly against the Meropticon invasion through a non-linear campaign of 16 levels and 30 boss fights. Weapons unlock as you progress, can be selected before missions and gain power during play. Its pixel-art presentation draws on the style of 32-bit console games.
This entry covers the original Hydorah, released on June 3, 2010, rather than the separate commercial enhanced game Super Hydorah. Locomalito supplies the full Windows game as a ZIP archive. The publisher lists single-player play only; this is not a multiplayer game. Neither a current package version nor CPU architecture is stated on the publisher page, and compatibility with specific Windows releases has not been established here.
What it offers
- Explore a non-linear campaign with 16 levels and 30 boss fights.
- Unlock weapons, equip them before missions and increase their power during action.
- Fight through horizontally scrolling stages with move, attack and special controls.
- Play a solo space campaign with 32-bit-era-inspired pixel art and music by Gryzor87.
Good to know
- Single-player only, according to the publisher's game-mode listing.
- The publisher does not identify the current ZIP's version, CPU architecture or supported Windows releases; specific-version Windows compatibility is unverified.
- This is the original Hydorah, not the commercially released enhanced game Super Hydorah.
