What players say
Good game that has a classic arcade style and plays well. Games really difficult though even with infinite continues but I managed to finish it, although platformers aren't a genre I'm generally great at. It doesn't outstay its welcome either. Overall I recommend this especially if you like a challenge, and is also my favourite run and gun style game that I have played since the old classics.

Absolute joy to play, espeically in 2-Player, I beat the whole game with a friend of mine to relive our youth where we'd spend all summer trying to slowly trying to beat Super Contra on the SNES. If you like old SNES games but want some modern Quality of Life improvements, like smoother controls, modern level design and the abillity to save progress between levels, I cannot recommend this one enough!
Great Conta-like game. It definitely has a contra feel but is much faster paced and with way more interesting bosses. I played it all the way through with my son.
