Bonjour,
Jeu sympa et bien adapté au Steam Deck mais la durée de vie du mode histoire est famélique compte tenue du prix de vente. L'histoire se termine en moins de 2 heures en mode facile, dommage. Il aurait fallut 2 fois plus de niveaux ou que le jeu coûte 2 fois moins cher. C'est pourquoi je ne recommande pas le jeu actuellement (plus de 35 euros, c'est trop). Espérons qu'il y aura des DLC gratuits pour rallonger un peu la durée de vie mais j'en doute. Autrement, le jeu est plutôt sympa comme je l'ai déjà dit mais je le recommanderais à 20 euros max. Je regrette de l'avoir acheté dès sa sortie. J'aurai du attendre mais la tentation d'avoir un jeu de ce type à eu raison de moi.

Vraiment un excellent bon jeu. Beaucoup de clin d'oeil sur tous les contra d'avant. Je conseille vivement à tout joueurs ou fan de contra d'acheter ce jeux.

This a good one, but the price is too expensive.
It should be around 20$ not 40$.
Wait for it if you can.

Alors que dire de ce nouvel opus de Contra après un chaotique Contra Rogue Corps ?
Eh bien qu'il est tout bonnement excellent . Faut dire que derrière , il y a Wayforward qui avaient déjà développé Contra 4
sur la DS , mais aussi la serie des Shantae c'est eux . Donc pas des amateurs .
Franchement , j'ai pris un pied magistral sur ce dernier épisode .
Et pourtant , il y a un énorme défaut . Le jeu se termine très très rapidement . J'ai fini en mode normal en 2h .
J'aurai peut etre du débuter par le mode difficile mais bon . Après on peut aussi citer les musiques qui font trop films cinématographique . Enfin heureusement qu'il y a une option pour pouvoir jouer avec les themes retros mais pas en mode histoire .
Bref à conseiller ou pas , je dirai que oui et non .
Oui pour les fans de Contra comme moi qui attendaient enfin un bon opus malgré qu'il soit court .
Non pour ceux qui ne sont pas fan de ce type de jeux , ou alors à prix réduit .

Pretty damn good so far, honestly.

Been a huge fan of Contra my whole life, but specifically have very fond memories of Contra 4 for a variety of reasons. Contra 4 also happens to have been developed by Wayforward and was a phenomenal entry. This game has a lot of the same feels and vibe as that one did.

The 2.5D visuals used feel a little dated, but the Contra run and gun gameplay you know and love is there and that’s all that truly matters.

Sound wise everything is satisfying and the soundtrack is more on the orchestral side, but you can also unlock different soundtracks for arcade and challenge mode. Speaking of those modes, there’s plenty of content on offer from what I can see so far. A full fledged story mode with cutscenes, arcade mode which is just classic play until you run out of lives, and a challenge mode with tons of different challenges (speed runs and stuff). There’s also a new perk system where you earn points as you play to spend in a perk shop that give nice little buffs to your character (Spread equipped on level start, Lance having a higher double jump, etc.) so that’s a nice little way to change the game up or give you an upper hand if you’re struggling. Don’t forget to put in the Konami Code for a special shop bonus!

This game also runs perfectly on the steam deck out of the box, 60fps, so you can get your Contra fix on the go.

All in all, as a fan, I recommend the game so far. If that changes at all the more I play, I’ll be sure to update my review.

(Any game that lets me play as Probotector is a good game)


Finally we can leave all that crap with Rogue Corps behind..

I liked the improved graphics and arcade gameplay but this is not a $40 game. I might pick this up again if it is on sale later for $20. It's worth $20 - $25 in my opinion. Game did not crash which was good. Thumbs down until price is better.

Suddenly I am feeling very old.

Hey!
La hype est palpable pour le retour du Roi des Run & Gun, et je t'en parle 2min ici !

Bon jeu à tous =)

Wayforward knows what they're doing because they already made Contra 4. Contra: Operation Galuga on the surface might look like a simple cash in on Contra 1 nostalgia. but mechanically there is quite a bit of new things added to the series.

First off character selection there are 10 characters who all vary in degree, Bill and Lance, have the most standard playstyle they have double jumps and Dashing/Air Dashing, but even between the two you can get a character specific perk. Bill's allows him to be in invulnerable durring a Dash, and Lance gets a Higher Double jump. Then you have a character like Stanley Ironside who's playstyle is entirely different, He can't Double Jump or Dash, but he has the Contra 4 Grapple hook to elevate himself higher quickly, and he can Hover. The Probotector Robots have the potential for all 4 movement options since they get double Jump and Dash, and with their two character perks giving them access to the Grapple Hook, and Hover, you only get two perk slots. so those movement options will be at the cost of something else that can give you more fire power, or survivability. Different characters may also very in what weapons they get.

The Perk system is there if you want a bit of an edge in gameplay, there are cheaper perks like Start a level with your weapon of choice, or more expensive perks like keeping a weapon after dying, or increasing the amount of hit points you get, or healing a hit point when you overload a weapon (useless if you play with one hit deaths of course)

When it comes to weapons the Lv2 upgrades by collecting the same one twice makes a return from Contra 4 and the new feature is Overloading. you can use a weapon (or just it's Lv2 upgrade if you are on an easier difficulty) in exchange for a powerful move. For example Laser lets you slow down the world around you, and you'll be free to deal a big chunk of damage to a boss. Flame gives you a very long lasting Flame wall that stops projectiles, Machine gun gives you invulnerably for a decent amount of time. You can also call in a bonus weapon pod if you fill up the meter. So every weapon drop you see is the opportunity for an overload.

The levels enemies and bosses are a re-imagining of Contra 1, it'll be familiar but there is always a twist to keep things fresh, for example the Snow level now take place on a speeding Train moving though the snow top mountains, and the Robot boss is more elaborate, half way though it turns into a homage to a Contra Hard corps boss. This is a Solid Contra game, and it's very much worth playing.

True to the original. A bit pricy for what it is.
