CONTRA IS BACK, BABY! When I saw this game drop back in 2024 my jaw hit the floor, a new Contra game? a GOOD new Contra game?! this must be a dream! but nope! its real, and it is AWESOME! Operation Galuga is a modern reimagining of the classic Contra games, taking some scenes and inspiration from Contra, Super C and Contra III on SNES and turning it all up to 11 with new crisp HD graphics and a banging soundtrack! plus working remote play multiplayer this time around! this is a fantastic package for lovers of classic sidescrolling run n' gun action! Operation Galuga features some QoL improvements to make the game more accessible to new or casual players, with less difficulty for those who want to see the rest of the game. The game also features upgrades for your weapons so you can use them across stages and more! This is the quality you get, when the people making the game actually care and understand the source material, Operation Galuga is a game made out of passion and it shows, it's fantastic from start to finish, looks modern but plays just like you remember it as a kid, tough enemies, tight combat and platforming, and having an absolute BLAST while doing it! Pick this one up, it's stellar!

Contra made a strong come back from the previous games they made. They finally took this series back too its roots and its better than the originals. Finally you have a life bar which means you don't have to use the konami code to cheat with 30 lives anymore. Also their are unlimited continues unlike the previous versions wihich they limit you to only 3 continues then game over. All the weapons are have been revamped and now have 3 levels of powerup. Gameplay and graphics are also detailed and improved with textures, lighting, and colors. The stage layouts are wider so you can take the low route or high route. A satisfying addition to my arcade cabinet ,Thanks Konami

**Recommended** Contra: Operation Galuga is what happens when your childhood memories of Contra hit the gym, chug three energy drinks, and start bench-pressing explosions. I booted it up expecting a nice nostalgic run-and-gun experience. Instead, I got: * missiles * lasers * alien horrors * enough bullets to violate several international treaties * and a soundtrack that makes me want to invade my own living room Every level feels like the game looked at the phrase *“reasonable amount of enemies”* and took it as a personal insult. At one point I was pretty sure I wasn’t playing a shooter anymore — I was just legally classified as a moving hitbox. The bosses are gloriously over-the-top. One moment you’re shooting soldiers, the next you’re fighting something that looks like it escaped from a 90s arcade cabinet after being exposed to gamma radiation and pure rage. It absolutely nails that classic Contra feeling of: “I am an unstoppable action hero” followed immediately by “I have died 14 times in the last 30 seconds.” 10/10, would spread democracy through excessive gunfire again.
