Initially released on Steam and consoles in 2017, it was announced today that Super Hydorah is on its way to iOS, and both existing fans of the game and newbies are sure to love it.

Super Hydorah is a non-linear shoot-em-up which has you traversing the deepest parts of space to take on the dreaded Metroptians. These bio-mechanical monsters have their hearts set on conquering everything and it's up to you to stop them.

Having taken inspiration from shmup classics, the game is action-filled and weeping with nostalgic art and audio. With its iOS version you've got two modes, easy and hard, adjustable touch controls, Haptic vibration, MFi controller support, and much more.

It's a little on the pricier end, going for £6.99/$6.99 on the App Store at the moment, and while it won't be for everyone it's got excellent reviews on Steam. I've got my fingers crossed that Abylight delivers the same quality, control, and fun factor in its mobile version.
