The classic horizontal shooting game “Contra” has launched a new game “CONTRA: OPERATION GALUGA”, which uses 3D models to create levels. It still uses a flat horizontal shooting gameplay and injects new elements. Up to 4 people can cooperate to pass the level, but the “30 lives” Nirvana doesn’t seem to apply anymore.
“Contra” was released as early as the Nintendo Famicom era. The hot-blooded and muscular male protagonist entered the jungle to fight in the movie “First Blood” and later fought alien creatures. It is really timeless. The collection of classics released a few years ago was well-received, so it is natural to release new works. “CONTRA: OPERATION GALUGA” is an episode where the producers intend to reimagine and modernize the original work. It seems inevitable to switch to 3D characters and levels. Gunfire, explosions and space camera movements have been significantly improved, and the performance of some shots in the levels will be more vivid.
The game has story, arcade and challenge modes. There are 4 protagonists at the beginning, and multiple levels of difficulty and blood volume can be set. If it is the original version, of course it is “kill with one shot”, and novices can choose to play in the blood bar mode. There will be a mechanical core or a boss battle waiting for players at the end of the level. The weapons obtained by players in this episode can be repeatedly upgraded in power, and even use “overload” to exert short-term effects such as shields, time slowdowns, full-screen ricochet, etc. It is key to pay attention to the enemy’s offensive and choose strengthened weapons, and you can use dodge, air speed, etc. The character’s unique skills are unique to rushing, and you need to move flexibly when facing enemy fire.
Completing levels can be exchanged for currency to purchase additional auxiliary abilities in the store, such as increasing blood volume, number of lives, etc. The game can cooperate with up to 4 people in arcade mode, so the Nintendo Switch version may have an advantage if it has Joy-cons.
Tried the PC Steam version. The recommended graphics card for the game is GeForce GTX 1060 or above. The built-in Intel Arc GPU of Core Ultra 7 155H runs at 1920 x 1080 resolution and has a smooth 60fps level. The desktop GF RTX 4060 is used for display. card, it can run natively at 4K resolution, and the GPU is still not fully loaded.

After entering the brain world through games and witnessing the mutual progress of 3D rendering technology and game engines, I am convinced that the PC platform may become the biggest winner.
