October 21, 2013 - seya

It’s time to reveal the day when your race for the first place in the Steam Syder Arcade leaderboard will begin: set your calendar to October 24th and get ready to join us in our newly launched Community Hub!



With more than a year behind us it certainly seemed like we’ve crossed the universe in search of a port to call home, but now that day is nearly upon us. Many of you have supported us all this time, patiently waiting to see Syder Arcade getting greenlit, and we can’t stress enough how grateful we are.



As we already announced, we want to thank all of you planning for the next updates of the game some Steam features and upgrades that will be ready soon after launch. Remember that among these new additions we are preparing some special rewards dedicated to our supporters! Badges, cards, emoticons and new achievements will be immediately available at launch! We will wait for you to celebrate together in our Community Hub in a few days!

Killing zombies never gets old, but some times you just need a break.

Get back to some serious Old-School gaming with Syder Arcade!

Syder Arcade is a free scrolling, multi directional shoot 'em up, an uncompromised old-school experience, furious, challenging, straightforward. This game will bring you back in time, when bulky starships were cool and games were about player skill and swearing madly at your computer.

  • Amiga-style soundtrack
  • Zombie free

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!

Honestly, who isn’t a fan of some awesome side scrolling space shooter action? I can’t see a reason why it hasn’t been greenlit already!

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

You might be thinking something like ‘Why would I play a game like this?’ Let us answer your question with another question: ‘why the hell not?’

Armlessoctopus.com
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.

Darkzero.co.uk
A staple in the gaming libraries of longtime and recent gamers alike. Syder Arcade is visually incredible and the music and sound effects only add to the atmosphere that it generates.

Multiplayer.it
Studio Evil is able to bring back feelings we thougt possible only through emulators.

Look in the official community hub for key info.
The short answer is, we are waiting for GamersGate ... :pixlotno:

Will those who bought the IndieFort Countdown Bundle get a Steam key? I checked on GamersGate and there's nothing yet.

Many thanks for bringing us Syder Arcade Version 1.51
This is a very different beast from the older version of 1.3, not only is this new version far more polished than ever before, the first level is vastly upgraded too! Numerous tweaks here and there add depth and just more "wow" factor to what simply is the very best shooter for the pc.
Thank you for the rebirth of the Amiga in the form of Syder Arcade. I am very honoured to have your product sitting on my hard drive and forever there it will stay. Please bring us more news on Shellcode and more of Reyes if you please?
