What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Operation Hardcore is a great side scrolling shooter, no doubt about it. It is somewhat limited in content and a very short experience, but for the price range we are talking about it is well worth it. If you are a fan of the genre, take it straight away and if, like me, you are not it still is a good experience with lots of fun.13 found this helpful
Go right. Shoot dudes.4 found this helpful
https://youtu.be/QSVczXQXh8Q Basic elements are competently made but core design of loss upgrades on death or weapon recoil are more frustrating than challenging.3 found this helpful
Not a bad little contra type game. I like the graphics and music. Controls don't feel *quite* as tight as I prefer but it doesn't ruin it. My biggest complaints are every time you shoot a bullet you kick back a bit and the so-called permanent upgrades like weapon cool down and rate of fire go back to zero when you continue.1 found this helpful
My personal review: ★★☆☆☆ It's a cool shooting game, but kinda glitch.
This game is utter smelly lines of plasma mans attitude arranged with a demolition derby car fisted a pump with volume bulbing cola striking a stupid hilarious preference globally...its decent but it doesnt really take a far knotch to be successful as a contra clone or a metal slug ripoff i give this game a 7.9/10 love the burrito master its an indicator of a incubus moon landing standalone piece of crap
