Konami has just released a demo for its upcoming new Contra game, Contra: Operation Galuga. Contra: Operation Galuga is a re-imagination of the classic run-‘n’-gun action game from the ‘80s. So, since this is a free demo, you should at least give it a try.
Contra: Operation Galuga will feature new stages, new enemies, and new play mechanics. The game will have eight levels, as well as playable characters with distinct abilities. Moreover, it will support co-op combat for up to 4 players.
From what I can see, the game retains its 2D gameplay. However, instead of using 2D high-resolution sprites, WayForward has added 3D sprites. And that’s something that will rub a lot of players the wrong way.
You see, due to these 3D sprites, this new Contra game now feels like a mobile title. And this sucks because its gameplay looks good. Okay okay, it’s not as good as the classic Contra games. However, it’s not as bad as the 3D re-imaginations of other classic games we saw in the 90s/00s.
Anyway, those interested can download the demo from Steam. Below you can also find a gameplay trailer for it. This trailer will give you an idea of what you can expect from it.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!
