"WayForward has done god’s work in design and execution, and in rekindling the feel of Konami’s blistering run-and-gun IP. It’s all expertly assembled: an adrenaline-fuelled bullet ballet that knows exactly what Contra is and should be, borrowing key elements from the series' back catalogue and elevating the action with an original moveset that feels fresh, fun, and exciting to toy with. It’s this undeniable accomplishment that makes the Switch version somewhat deflating. There’s a great game here, and yes, it is playable, it is fun, and it can be learned. But it’s damaged by so many technical setbacks that one weeps for what should have been. " - Tom Massey | NintendoLife
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga, though nothing new and has some story issues, is still a love letter to Contra fans just wanting to shoot stuff."
Who’s down for some old-school, challenging, curse-word-inducing fun?
We’re happy to inform gamers that Contra: Operation Galuga provides just that; and it provides a lot of it. Contra: Operation Galuga is a remake/sequel to one of the most difficult, yet satisfying NES games ever created. It provides old-school gameplay for that familiar feel, but also provides enough new features and mechanics that it feels new and refreshing.
WayForward... have remade the original Contra arcade game from 1987 in the form of Contra: Operation Galuga.
