Sheena has wide area affecting power-ups. Ray is the most traditional, having weapons like the Spread Shot and Homing Gun from the previous Contra games, so he's good for familiarity. His chargeable Power Punch and Psychic Blaster deal an unbelievable amount of damage, but it does require some patience and skill to use. Each has their strengths and weaknesses, though Fang is the strongest character in the game. Ray Poward (the series' secondary protagonist), Brad Fang (a wolfman with a cybernetic arm), Sheena Etranzi (a female guerilla and weapons specialist), and Browny (a tiny robot with the smallest hitbox in the game).Įach of them have a different weapon itinerary and abilities. Hard Corps also introduces new playable characters. The graphics are some of the best on the Genesis with the various boss battles.
The visuals are sharp, the explosions are fierce, and enemies have great detail. Sure, with Mode 7, the SNES pulled off a cool looking visual with the overhead stages, but they're as cumbersome as eating soup with a fork.īlast Processing may have been a marketing gimmick and these still images don't do it justice, but Hard Corps is an incredibly fast and fluid action rollercoaster. Contra III is a very good game, but the one key element that puts Hard Corps over is they omitted the novelty level. We have reached the end of Contra Month, and what better way to wrap up the month than to talk what I think is the best made Contra and one of the top tier Genesis titles that outshines the SNES' The Alien War.
