Contra Rogue Corps

Contra Rogue Corps

CONTRA is back! Two years after the Alien Wars ended, the Damned City erupts from the final battleground. From the midst of the chaos, a group of scoundrels emerge.

They might not be typical heroes, but they’re here to save the world… or get rich trying.
Featuring action packed battles, customisable gear, gigantic bosses and explosive multiplayer action.

• Local and Online CO-OP action for up to 4 players
• 4 outrageous characters, each with their own weird style and colourful attitude
• Build over 100 weapons and augment your character with bionic body parts earned in-mission
• Character progression, weapon development and customisation ensure extensive replayability
• Crazy new heroes and big bosses join the Contra universe.

Pre-order to get two T-Shirt skins for Hungry Beast. One featuring the iconic duo Bill and Lance, the other featuring the classic Contra logo.

Players assume the roles of four classic Contra series characters, as a former military group of bounty hunters and treasure finders: Kaiser, a rebuilt cyborg from The Alien Wars; Ms. Harakiri, an assassin with a parasitic alien attached; The Gentleman, a well-cultured alien bug; and Hungry Beast, a brilliantly scientific cyborg giant panda.

Players configure a main weapon and sub-weapon in realtime. These have unlimited ammunition, but with a heat meter to be managed. Between stages, weapons are upgraded and uniquely customized. As a last resort, the player can clear the area with a huge bomb or use the character’s special ability.

Contra Rogue Corps Review

I had high hopes from Konami but sadly the critics are right and this game just isn’t fun. Contra was all about shooting everything that moves, and while this game isn’t different, I feel the fatal flaw is silly mechanics like the overheating system. Add to that design flaws that i’m surprised managed to get through QA such as the gimmicky zombies sticking to the screen (which blocks your view for about 1 second, which is a LOT when you’re surrounded by a horde), or enemies like turrets that attack you from off-screen!

Multiplayer seems non existent (haven’t been able to join any public rooms so far), the levels are just lazy – increasing enemy HP and Attack is the only difference in a lot of levels! To make things even more annoying, frame rate is capped at 30 FPS.

Shame – this could have been something greater.
