Our take on Contra: Operation Galuga

The game concentrates on fast run-and-gun stages, so it gives up the broader exploration and slower pacing found in adventure-focused games. Cooperative capacity also depends on mode: Story Mode stops at two players, while four-player action is reserved for Arcade Mode.

What is Contra: Operation Galuga?

Contra: Operation Galuga reimagines the classic run-and-gun action series with modern visuals and audio, new stages, enemies, bosses, mechanics, and an updated weapon system.

Players run, jump, and shoot through eight levels, including a jungle, waterfall, enemy base, and hovercycle sequence. The arsenal includes spread shots, lasers, and homing missiles, with upgrades that can stack and special Overload abilities. Multiple playable characters have distinct abilities. Story Mode supports cooperative play for up to two players, while Arcade Mode supports up to four. Three difficulty settings and additional challenge options provide ways to adjust the action.
