Man this game is so hard, im 2 stages away from completing it but ive lost like a thousand times. This guy who plays it has insane skill! Thanks for posting the video it helped a lot
This TH-camr makes it look easy, which in reality it's not. I bought the newest version on Steam and barely beat it on Easy mode (default 3-hit shield, half the score gained from all kills and powerups). Also, thanks for the subtitle instructions.
You should know that there is the upcoming arcade edition called Super Hydorah AC, featuring more aggressive enemy patterns and instant respawns. Therefore, there will be no more checkpoints. Available exclusively on Exa Arcadia. I look forward to playing BRAND NEW arcade games covering multiple genres with exclusive content.
Trenton Thompson That was me being enthusiastic about the arcade platform. I do welcome fine-tuned enhanced versions from home release to arcade. The arcade games have different environmental and social factors compared to home/mobile release. The most notable aspect for arcade games is catering to two audiences: The players and operators, with a latter expecting short play times per credit for average to beginning players. Expert players develop from repeated plays.
just beat it today and love most of the stages as they are creative. I use Laser, Scorts and Turrican throughtout the game and found it a little easy to finish each levels but some can be tough as hell especially the Water level and Galactic Inferno. Got the Good Ending and now i just need to 1cc it for the true ending
how is that ''NO MISS''..its definitely a few misses..i wonder how to get perfect..i killed almost every enemy in level 2 only 2 missing and still didnt get ''perfect''-ranking..only ''very good''-ranking :( ..i also only fire when i have enemies in my target line..so im basically doing a better job than the dude in this video and yet i dont get a ''perfect''-ranking..what exactly are the conditions i have to meet?
No miss means no deaths in arcade jargon (Japan). And to get a perfect you have to complete a stage without getting hit, the ranking depends on number of hits/deaths. Hope that helps :)
@@SPM_STG funny thing is i fulfilled that already and didnt get perfect-ranking..i didnt die and i didnt take damage..if it was just that i would have gotten perfect ages ago..but i dont get it for not dying and not taking damage alone..there has to be something like score that counts as well..also i dont use bombs/special, cause if u do u dont get perfect as well...i really think its also the score to some extend or the amount of enemies u kill..who knows
@@SPM_STG yea i dont even use a shield..and funnily i have seen videos of dudes taking hits on shields who still got perfect..maybe they faked the video.. but i guarantee u, its not just hits taken..i almost never get hit..and if i get, i immediately end the round and retry..so its impossible..unless my game is different from yours..slowly i begin to think the conditions u have to meet for perfect, are slightly different in each level..
At that particular point all your speed upgrades are lost because that gas boss emmitts some stuff that removes your upgrades. He carries that light item so he can increase his score rather than getting power ups..i think
@@coulthard1984Specifically, the light is in place of a "bomb" item, which is what that third row represents. The light item is only usable on the black hole level, and only to light the "torches" that allowed progression and recovery of the sword weapon at the bottom of the level.
Maybe the secrets are part of what counts toward a "perfect" clear of the stage? I don't think you messed up otherwise on Silent Fleet but you still didn't get a perfect bonus there.
No, the bonus depends on hits/deaths during the stage. You get a perfect if you didn't get hit. For example: 34:20 got a hit, got "very good" instead of "perfect".
@@SPM_STG The last part of the game is 6 super long boss one after the other without continue. It is simply artificially increasing the time it takes to complete the game.
@@MarquisDeSang I love that boss rush and wouldn't say that's a flaw, but I understand it can be frustrating, it's punishing. Its purpose is not to increase the playtime though, but to feel epic. I guess they could've added extra shields on the easy mode... No reason not to if you're going to have an easy mode to begin with. You may not like checkpoint-based shmups, that's all (which is perfectly fine, I feel the same some times, but calling it a flaw...)
"You are in war with every planet under this sun AND STILL CALL ME TYRANT" was such a power quote though
So the player is the villain?
Agreed very powerful quote
Doesn't the fact that Hydorah has complete control over most of the star system prove he's a tyrant?
True, also you only ever fight the Meroptians as far as I know.
feels like the commander is the bad guy

Holy crap I just beat the game I cant believe it. Definitely of the hardest games I ve played...looking forward to the next locomalito game!

I miss the old secret ending with the statues of well know shmup characters. I understand why they had to change it, but it's still sad they had to
Hydorah's quarter
Back in the original version, there was a secret at 3:30. It required flying above that topmost floating island.
- EXTRA CHIP -
Just managed to beat the game today, but used like 37 continues. Getting a 1cc on a game this long is insane!

This last sentence sounds like an ad. Also that is NOT a brand new game though an enhanced port of Super Hydorah is a good idea

That ending reminds me of Gradius II, RayForce, & Thunder Force IV obviously.
Its a shame they didn't keep the original take off text: Soldiers! The Fate of Humanity lies in your hands! God Bless...
Funny thing is the 1cc statue is more copyright friendly than the one that isn't (which implies that every 2d shooter is canon within Hydorah)
Fantastic... As ever!
good game
Does this game have a cap with continues? It erased my progress after an apparent 100 continues.
AYYY ITS HYDORAH! or the super version, that counts too.

Is this a TAS run?

Strange, i have the game but in this version it has boss health bar, how can i get the new version? I have to buy it?
Update to the latest version.
@@JaimersSTG ohhhh i get it lol
Why are you always equipped with light and how did your speed power-up go down if you didn't die?
