It\u2019s safe to say Contra passed on its crown as run-and-gun royalty a long time ago. The last truly great entry was 2011\u2019s Hard Corps: Uprising<\/a>\u2014an unrecognizable-as-Contra game which doesn\u2019t even bear the series name\u2014and even before that point, Contra had muddled through multiple halfhearted reinventions in between quality games. I approached Operation Galuga with embers of optimism: It's by WayForward, developers of 2007's exceptional Contra 4, but its insistence on new playable characters with special abilities, perks bought with in-game currency, and an overhauled 3D look had me wary of another misguided attempt to complicate a formula defined by its simplicity.<\/p>\n

What I got with Operation Galuga was just the opposite: a rock-solid celebration of classic Contra with new ideas that remix and recontextualize, but never crowd out, the shooter\u2019s foundational meat and potatoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These days Contra has stiffer competition than ever, with modern masterworks like Cuphead, Blazing Chrome, and Huntdown building out the run and gun formula with more extravagant setpieces and more varied combat. But even amidst those games Galuga has some novel ideas. My favorite is the new overload mechanic: You pick up special weapons as you go like in most other Contra games, and you can only carry and swap between two at a time. But you can now overload your active gun to destroy it in exchange for explosive benefits, like an actual explosion, a bullet-soaking shield, or the ability to stop time for a few seconds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On top of this, you can pick up two guns of the same type to wield an ultra-powerful version of that weapon until you get hit. These additions threw an interesting wrench into my typical Contra game-plan\u2014get the spread shot and hold onto it for dear life\u2014and had me thinking about more than dodging bullets in the heat of the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The perk store offers similarly powerful boons: character-specific special moves, extra lives, free weapon upgrades, extra hit points, and so on that you can buy with credits earned by playing. If you enjoy run-and-guns for the tough-as-nails difficulty, this might all sound like the sort of stuff you\u2019d find on a Game Genie, but the customization goes both ways. From the very start you can up the difficulty, make every enemy attack a one-hit-kill, and even deactivate 360 degree aiming (making Galuga stress me out as much as the famously brutal Contra: Hard Corps). It\u2019s all optional and easy enough to ignore entirely, but if you want to wring all the value you can out of the game, nabbing and toying with every one of these cheat codes will take more than a few pizza-fueled Friday nights.<\/p>\n

If you forgo any optional modifiers, Operation Galuga is “just” a souped-up, modernized retelling of the NES original\u2014with so many new levels, setpieces and redesigned encounters that it\u2019s unmistakably its own thing. Jumping feels snappy and precise, iconic arms like the homing shot and laser gun return alongside a few new ones, and double-jumps and airdashes make you a nimbler glass cannon than ever.\u00a0<\/p>\n

My only real gripe is with the story and dialog, which occasionally pipe up while I\u2019m busy trying to shoot stuff. It\u2019s not that the writing or acting is bad, it\u2019s just that it\u2019s devoid of much substance; shattering a run-and-gunner\u2019s flow state so some evil robo-terrorist can remind me he\u2019s an evil robo-terrorist is a sin most games are mindful enough to avoid. Cutscenes are skippable, but the fact that they trigger mid-level still brings the action to a screeching halt. Previous Contra stories had the good sense to either be hilariously zany or completely absent, so unless I\u2019ve missed another secret ending where my G.I. marries a chimpanzee<\/a>, I\u2019m holding this one against you, Operation Galuga.<\/p>\n

The game\u2019s eight stages make for a brisk playthrough assuming you don\u2019t die as much as I did, but replayability is through the roof. Challenge mode, uh, challenges you to master specific guns, speedrun the game, get through levels without firing a shot, and so on. After 2 hours in Arcade mode with the difficulty options fully cranked, I'd nearly crawled nearly the halfway mark when I dropped my beloved spread shot and died to a one-hit-kill bullet. That's the old Contra torture that hurts so good.<\/p>\n

And with Project Galuga\u2019s high degree of customization, you can really dial in how you choose to self-flagellate. I\u2019m not sure it reaches the eye-straining highs of the very best Contras, but it\u2019s a thrilling return to form for a long-dormant titan, an accessible entry point to the genre it helped define, and a rich playground for veterans to test their mettle.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
