Definitely recommended if you want to scratch that Contra itch for a bit. Just be aware that a full playthrough can be done in a single sitting and after that all gameplay will be in replaying the same levels ('just like' the classics). The retro visual style is pretty and it's got a high energy soundtrack. Normal difficulty is quite forgiving and can be beaten reasonably quickly. If you like it a lot you can 'git gud' and play it on hard/arcade/mirror mode or do a boss rush, and unlock a whole bunch of skins if that's your thing.

A cool nostalgic take for Contra lovers. Graphics, music and design all very nice, though the game unfortunately did't reach the level of bio-horror insanity of Contra Hard Corps. There are a lot of easter eggs and design elements that only Russian speakers can understand and relate. The game is pretty short for the modern standard, again comparable to Contra 3/Hard Corps. Overall a good game to waste a couple of hours!

Blast squelching eyeballs orbiting all around. Obstacles of viscera and hellfire await. Innards and gizzards decorate the walls in morbid fashion. Worms, so many disgusting worms. Brandish unearthly weaponry and ultimately jettison oneself from the moon before it implodes but not before decimating everything in sight. 2 pulsing mutant thumbs up.

Good for 2 player couch co-op. Old school arcade, reminds a lot of contra but with flesh monsters.

Like classic Contra, but with more blood, gore and metal. Love it! Also.. c'mon.. Iron Meat?! If that isn't the manliest title I've ever heard, then I don't know what is..

This game honestly deserves more attention. Super fun, addicting, love the art style, and FANTASTIC soundtrack. Hard mode is awesome for boss rush and those who are quite skilled. You can also make it worse (in a good way) with mutations. My only issue was sometimes you would respawn on the edge of a platform after losing a life which would cause you to walk off and die again if you're not paying close attention. Overall, this game is fantastic and fun with a friend. Hoping for a sequel or DLC. Need more content!!

This game feels like the sequel that Contra Hard Corps deserved but never got. The music is so good that it's worth the price of admission on its own.
