NEW Apidya Special remake of the Amiga classic from 1992 for Nintendo, PlayStation 5, Xbox and PC

From the creator

About Apidya Special Originally released for the Commodore Amiga in 1992, Apidya became one of Europe's most celebrated side-scrolling shoot 'em ups. The title is especially well known in Germany, the UK, Scandinavia, the Benelux region, and Poland. Apidya Special has been developed by the original creators in collaboration with a devoted Apidya superfan-turned-developer, bringing the classic to modern platforms while faithfully preserving the gameplay, atmosphere, and challenge that made the original a fan favorite. While the title may not be widely known outside of Europe and the Amiga community, we believe it will be a great discovery for fans of legendary shoot 'em ups such as R-Type, Gradius, and Darius. In fact, the original creators have stated that Apidya was heavily inspired by classic Japanese shoot 'em up games. Whether you're discovering Apidya for the first time or revisiting a cherished childhood classic, Apidya Special is the definitive way to experience this iconic shooter.
