Contra Rogue Corps Standard Edition - Nintendo Switch

this game is getting a lot of hate online from contra fans. i been playing contra since the original so i like to think i'm more than qualified to judge contra games. first lets get one thing out of the way, the graphics. this has been the main point of contention among fans of contra. yes, the graphics kinda suck. this game looks like an early ps2 game. Neo Contra looks a lot better than this game. if you're going to pass on this game based on poor graphics alone, you're doing yourself and this franchise a disservice. if you can get pass the "bad" graphics, which imo isn't THAT bad, the game is very fun to play. after all, contra is all about the gameplay, not how pretty it looks. i been playing this game for hours and i have been enjoying it so far. the only thing i don't like is that your weapons will overheat so you need to be careful not to overuse your weapons. there are upgrades you can buy to reduce the cool down time. imo, contra is a game about Run and Gun and i don't know why your weapons need to overheat. besides this, the gameplay is very fun. it's good for people who want a quick pick up and game type game. it won't waste your time and you will get right into the action, which i prefer. story is weak but c'mon, this is contra, in contra games, story takes a backseat to the gameplay. this game plays very similar to Neo Contra. you control your character w/the left stick and aim with the right stick. this type of game is commoning called "twin stick shooters," similar to games like Smash TV or Robotron. another thing i like to mention is the awesome case art. i love the cover art for this game. not too bad for Konami. on the reverse side of the cover is another great art work. most other switch games would be blank but konami decided to put great art work on every inch of real estate. cool stuff. great for collecting. is this the best contra game? no. imo if you want great contra games go play the original contra games on the NES, play Alien Wars on the SNES, then go play Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra on the ps2. is this game worth $40, imo yes. my shoes that i'm wearing right now that i bought from payless shoes cost more than this game. $40 isn't much. go buy this game! it's fun, nevermind the ps2 graphics, the gameplay is fun. if you want konami to make more contra games then buy this game.

Yes this game does have inferior graphics regardless of what platform and somewhat resembles a mobil game. And no it is not a side scrolling run and gun like we all know and love of the Contra franchise. But all of that aside, the cut scenes and story is unique with continuity to Alien Wars, the characters are interesting and the gameplay is actually fun. I will admit the platforming in the game is a little problematic at times but not broken. If you see and play the game for what it is without preconceived visions of what this Contra game SHOULD be in your minds and keep an open mind I think this is a great video game. Give it a try if it goes on sale below the retail price of $39.99 Or better yet download the demo on your respective platforms and try it out first like I did. I think you may enjoy it.

I wasn’t going in with high expectations for this “Contra” game since it was announced. The gameplay and graphics didn’t speak to me especially for the Contra Franchise. I purchased this game a few months ago and finally got to playing it. It’s not bad ... yea the graphics look like a PS2 games but the controls are good and it has a rpg element that keeps you playing. I can see why the price tag is 39.99 because there is replayability but still doesn’t justify the cash grab. Get this on sale and if you like twin stick shooters .... it’s a good catch. I’m happy with it. There is swearing in the cut scene so beware for young children playing.

I went into this purchase with no expectations, which is why I gave it 3 stars as opposed to none. In fact I waited for it to go on sale because I knew it probably wouldn’t be all that great. What I ended playing was a version of the Dreamcast game Cannon Spike (just not as good looking). The gameplay is similar to driving a 60’s model Buik, just not as smooth. I think the only thing that kept me playing was the outrageous premise and characters. This game really shows that Konami as a publisher is not as interested in console gaming as it once was. It’s been years since any new Contra game was released, and this game shows why. Was it complete crap? No. Would I recommend to new Switch owners? No. Instead buy the Contra collection available on the E shop, you’ll enjoy it more. Here’s hoping that Konami can get their stuff together for future releases.

I was super excited to hear about a new Contra game on the Nintendo platform. Then I saw it and it looked like a toasted chocolate nugget on a roaster. It still looks like that. However I had to give it a chance since I grew up with Contra and Super C. The gameplay is actually not bad. It is a repetitive grinder but it's enough to keep you at least somewhat interested. The graphics I give an absolute Fail but the gameplay I'll give it a pass. I picked it up for 14.99 from best buy. For that price I'm ok with what I got. If i paid full price for this chocolate nugget looking adventure I wouldve been very displeased, but for 15 bucks...I'm ok with it.

Its a pretty straight forward top down shooter. There are a few things that I would change like taking the name Contra off of it, the weapon cooldowns just to name a few. But I liked it and found myself playing it for hours.

Got it on sale and for $20 and with my gamers club discount was like $15. It not great on graphics. But i enjoyed the twin stick shooter. I wouldn't pay full price but for 20 its worth it

This game has received a negative reaction since it doesn't have too much in common with previous Contra games, but on its own it isn't so bad. It's more of a third-person / top-down shooter, and there is a loot system to collect money and parts to create better gear. There's still lots of shooting and swarms of enemies to defeat, plus it can be played with up to 4 players in co-op local and online, which is the best way to play it. I will say the graphics are kind of poor, even with updates trying to improve things a bit, though other areas have been updated as well.
