Contra: Operation Galuga is a glorious revival of everything that made the classic Contra games legendary, while delivering modern flair and polish that never feels out of place. Developed with a clear love for the series, this game reimagines the retro run-and-gun gameplay with tight controls, explosive action, and an updated visual style that stays true to its roots.



Modernized Gameplay: The familiar fast-paced action is paired with new mechanics like weapon upgrades and special abilities, making the experience both nostalgic and fresh.

Stunning Visuals: Vibrant, hand-crafted pixel art combined with modern effects makes every stage a feast for the eyes without losing the classic Contra vibe.

Challenging but Fair: True to its legacy, Operation Galuga is tough as nails but always rewarding. Perfect for players who enjoy mastering patterns and pushing their reflexes.

Co-Op Chaos: Playing with a friend is pure adrenaline-fueled fun, and the game offers seamless co-op integration.

Epic Boss Battles: Each level concludes with unforgettable encounters that test your skill and strategy, all accompanied by heart-pumping music.


Short Campaign: Like its predecessors, the game isn’t incredibly long, but the replay value and different difficulty modes make up for it.

High Difficulty Curve: New players might find it daunting at first, but that’s part of Contra’s charm, and old school gamers, like myself, may actually throw this in the pro section of this review.

Final Thoughts:
Contra: Operation Galuga is a love letter to fans of the series and an excellent starting point for newcomers. Whether you're chasing that nostalgic high or looking for a challenging, high-octane shooter, this game delivers on all fronts.
