Operation Galuga is a slick reimagining of the original Contra, blending classic run-and-gun chaos with modern visuals and gameplay upgrades. It delivers explosive action, iconic weapons like the spread shot, and new mechanics like stackable upgrades and Overload abilities. With a solid 8-level campaign, co-op play for up to 4 players, and a punchy soundtrack, it’s a nostalgic blast with fresh polish.
Some might find it short or overly familiar, but for Contra fans and arcade shooter lovers, it’s a high-octane hit.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)
Best For: Retro action fans and co-op shooter players
