Contra: Operation Galuga Now Available!

2024-03-13

Contra is back - reloaded, reimagined, and reborn - with Contra: Operation Galuga! Grab your spread shot and run 'n' gun your way through explosive co-op action against the Red Falcon army! This thorough remake of the revolutionary Contra NES/arcade game from the 1980s redeploys players to the Galuga Archipelago, where you'll take control of elite Contra commandos Bill Rizer and Lance Bean (as well as other warriors) and use an assortment of iconic weapons such as the Spread Shot, Laser Beam, and Homing Missiles to run, jump, and shoot your way through burning jungles, frigid mountains, a grotesque alien lair, and more. Character-specific abilities, devastating Overload powers, and unyielding bosses keep the action intense across Story Mode (1-2 players), Arcade Mode (1-4 players), and Challenge Mode (1 player), while variable difficulty settings and perks provide options for gamers of all skill levels! Contra: Operation Galuga is available now!

This is a rec with substantial caveats. If it’s not clear from the publisher’s description, this is a direct port of the Super Famicom Kunio-kun game in which Misako and Kyoko made their debut, with a slap of paint on it. That paint is pretty thin: an on-boot cinematic set to a Megan McDuffee song, a pair of RCG comic book cutscenes bookending the actual gameplay, and an always-accessible menu that lets you save...
