Contra: Hard Corps Longplay (Sega Genesis) [QHD] [Brad Fang]

Developer: Konami
Publisher: Konami
Year of Release: 1994
Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
The Contra franchise has always been synonymous with Nintendo and its NES and SNES consoles, but Sega Genesis owners received their own entry in the long-running series in 1994. It's a suitably action-packed romp through various stages, blasting enemies and taking on ludicrously oversized bosses in a fight to the death.
Contra: Hard Corps features four different playable characters to choose from, each with their own unique set of weaponry, which adds some variety to the gameplay. Brad Fang, a weird yet ridiculously cool lycanthrope with cybernetic arms and sporting shades is my favourite of the bunch.
Interestingly, you'll get to make choices at certain points during the game's story which influence the ending you'll eventually get on completion. There are also some hidden secrets and bonus endings to be found if you look of the beaten track, and I've included these as bonus features at the end of the video.

[@deceiver444]

Konami pushed the Genesis to its fullest with Contra and Castlevania

[@ynotwalk7391]

rocket knight is also pretty great, but i think treasure takes the prize with gunstar

[@jric81argen]

This was the best Contra for Sega

[@hopetagulos]

Sega have only "Contra Hard Corps".

Thanks of made a playtrough of Contra: Hard Corps 👍! This game is super hard and i never be able to finish it. Plus... you play with my favorite character!
Konami really show how to take advantage of the power of the Sega megadrive, crazy number of moving sprites on screen and beaffy beat techno soundetrack! When the hardware is in good hands, the game produce could "almost" seems to be a neo-geo game ( i think of you Thunder Force 4 🤘 )

"Hard" is right there in the name! A great game but tough as nails, all do the creator of the video made it look easy picking my favorite character by the way 🤓

I’m going to have to claim defeat and say that this game is a LOT more fun to watch than it is to play.

[@angeldeb82]

This is so really cool! Some of the scenes predate Cuphead, and there's even the Taurus, Gemini, and Sagittarius fight (which is somehow odd when PB&Jeff kept calling Sagittarius "Cupid" in the Hilda Berg fight in Cuphead, though the centaur archer is clearly not Cupid! LOL!). And the bonus arena fight in which you go back and marry a monkey... pretty weird! Anyways, nice one!

[@drweetabix]

Outstanding looking game for the time

35:46 The (oddly stupid and weird) Secret Non-Canon Ending.

[@almeidachannel7121]

Nice Video ! Sub & Big Like ! And Love Retro Genesis Games !

[@bigdoggy6650]

It has several more endings than this.

[@SolCresta3405]

You want for the best path also.

[@sockpuppet4716]

Less than half the game covered here...

[@drweetabix]

So did he go back in time and marry a monkey 😂
