✦ AI summary
Players praise this game as an excellent modern Contra-style experience with smooth performance and engaging, challenging gameplay that captures the spirit of classic run-and-gun action. However, some find the controls awkward and uncomfortable, particularly on handheld devices, though switching to a traditional controller setup may improve the experience.
No reviews on this game so far, so I'm gonna drop one for all the old school CONTRA fans out there, THIS GAME IS AWESOME. This is the NEW AGE CONTRA. The performance on the demo was atrocious but the game runs butter smooth in the final release. This game does not hide its INSPIRATION... its CONTRA IN ITS PUREST FORM ! Really fun and challenging. If your a Contra fan. Do yourself a favor and pick this game up, you will not be disappointed !7 found this helpful
As much as I would've liked this game being a modern take on contra type games, the controls are awkward resulting in irritating deaths. I played on my ally x so now that I got a dock for it im going to try playing it on my TV with a dualsense controller. Hopefully this will make the experience more enjoyable6 found this helpful
