Incredible bosses, npc and gameplay in this run and gun game . It is one of the few good run and gun games I've played lately in coop over remoteplay with my friend. I had asked for recommendations of run and gun games when Contra Operation Galuga came out and this was one of the games recommended to me, rightly so i'd say. con - the save and progression system is a pain in the keester, ruining an otherwise mindblowing game.

Have only seen the first couple of missions. It certainly succeeds in being a run-and-gun akin to Contra/Metal Slug. Looks like it came straight out of the Super Nintendo or Arcade. Will have to give it a proper playthrough one day. Admittedly the genre isn't a favourite, I prefer platformers.

There's a miniboss in stage 4 that died standing like an absolute badass. First impressions after beating the game on easy: the enemy aesthetics are just incredible and the gameplay is more contra than contra itself. Simply outstanding. Impressions after beating the game on normal: for some reason I expected different characters to have different weapons, like in contra hard corps, mainly because extra weapons we get are kinda situational, and sometimes less reliable than basic gun, so it felt as if each character would have their own set, but that is not the case. It's just standard shooters and standard melee ninjas. There's also a slight visibility issue on one part of a snow stage where enemies shoot bright missiles on a bright moving background while other enemy throws a snowball at you. It stands out because it's the only 30 seconds of the game where that's an issue.

I finally gave this one a shot after having it lying around for ages (mostly because Wayforward's new Contra looks super bland and safe aesthetically) This game is great. I wasn't that crazy about Joymasher's first two games (Odallus and Oniken had potential but their level design and action was just kinda OK), but this one really feels like they hit their stride Great level design, great pacing. Just the right amount of chaos while feeling very fair. A few cool gimmicks to set it apart from its inspirations. Lots of great setpieces. It just feels exciting and fun to play on a raw level. It's a very nice game and I could see myself revisiting this every now and then when I need a shot of adrenaline, just like the best Contra games.

It's time......to blaze some chrome! A fantastic run and gun game inspired by Contra with some Metal Slug sprinkled in there for good measure. Smooth & responsive controls, awesome retro-inspired visuals, bombastic action packed levels, banger soundtrack( weapon sound design is a bit disappointing tho), variety of weapons, and insanely fun boss fights all make for a good fucking time! There's also a surprising amount of content which can be unlocked such as Hardcore difficulty, Mirror mode, boss rush and two characters who play very differently, adding to the replayability. Overall this game doesn't do anything to reinvent the genre and it's obvious that it wears its inspiration on its sleeve but I believe it deserves to stand on it's own alongside the greats. Definitely recommended for Contra fans or just fans of old school run and gun games in general. You won't be disappointed!
