Vortex Effect: Syder Arcade originally released in March 2012 and became a sleeper hit in short order. Since that time Studio Evil has kept updating the game and working on it and their work has paid off. Growing fan support and clamor and a quality level of product and features has given this game a second debut of sorts by being brought out on a major platform like Steam.
Hardcore Gamer: Last week's Humble Android Bundle 9 was already a solid value with a diverse lineup of games. Now, it's gotten even better with the addition of three games. The Shivah is a 2D adventure game, and is a remake with revamped graphics. Savant - Ascent is a stunning-looking action platformer that will dazzle you, and Syder Arcade is a wonderful side-scrolling shooter with a 2.5D look.

When I looked up information on Syder Arcade, it promised me a return to the olden days of shoot ‘em up gaming; days of such vicious difficulty that all you could do was pray or hurl profanities at your computer screen. It promised me crushing defeat against nearly-insurmountable odds. It promised me the hopelessness of my childhood run-ins with floods of enemies that I couldn’t hope to defeat. And, dear friends, Syder Arcade has delivered on those promises.

It comes with an enhanced visual presence, which I needed to take screenshots to really notice the difference. The improvement is definitely there, and in the images below you’ll see a coloring adjustment and some minor detail changes. It certainly looks better and I’m able to notice it more as I continue to play."
