      I'm so glad this channel stopped reviewing new games, and acknowledges it's on hypocrisy in the first 5 seconds of a new game review.

      I tried the demo and I've got to say, WayForward did a great job capturing the spirit of how Contra is supposed to be played. I won't lie, giving players the option to go old school one hit death or a health bar is a nice touch.

      Super C was awesome. I also liked shattered soldier on PS2 about 20 years ago that was pretty cool.
      Going to get this new one today and check it out. Thanks for the awesome video bro!

    So puzzling that Hardcorps Uprising never got the Contra name. Criminally underrated game!!

      It is weird. I imagine some people don't even realize it was a Contra game considering they dropped it from the title.

      Maybe because the were no aliens, and the devs were worried that if they added Contra in the name, then fans will be confused by the lack of aliens.

    Wayforward should be dropped on Galuga for not including online play. I’m pretty confident the main demographic for this game are all married etc and we’d like to play with our buddies who live away etc.

    • @GamerThumbTV

      I think WayForward would be great at developing one. They've already touched on the Metroidvania exploration style. Them or Mercury Steam should do Castlevania.

      Hard mode took me a good 3 to 4 hours on a first playthrough. And the new unlockables in the store after the story mode is beaten are great additions that will take a while to unlock. Depends how you feel about retro style replayability.

    • @ultraspinalki11
      @ultraspinalki11 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Some games, like Devil May Cry, are short but are meant to be replayed over and over to get the most out of them.
      If you're the type who puts a game on the shelf for good once you reach the credits, Contra is not for you.

    Great game. Plays tight, runs smoothly, and I'm really enjoying the challenge mode.
    Although the levels are a bit too long so the pacing isn't as tight as I'd like.

    • @GamerThumbTV
      @GamerThumbTV  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I'm ok with the levels being as long as they are since this kind of game is short in general. But man, I hated that Temple level...

      I wasn't sure about the art style either but the gameplay is good. It just looks a bit too colourful and cheerful like donkey Kong or mario.

    • @GamerThumbTV
      @GamerThumbTV  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      Like I said in the review, the art style is completely a matter of opinion. But I can vouch that the gameplay is absolutely solid, classic Contra.
