I wished the Artstyle would be more Contra3- or Shattered Soldier-like. Hell on Earth, all is going down, something like that. But yeah basically its a Contra in a "funny"/"cartoon"-ish way.
Not impressed at all. WayForward repeats the mistake of basing their Contra installment entirely around nostalgia for the NES original. Contra Hardcorps was the peak of the franchise and nothing on display here comes close to matching that game's energy, imagination and sheer badassness.
While I never got a chance to play Contra 4 on the Nintendo DS, I can see why you would say that about WayForward games. If you slap a brand new IP on this type of game, it would go unnoticed and people would cry about wanting Contra so Konami needs nostalgia at this point. Personally I liked Hard Corps: Uprising but it was “too hard” for casuals.
