Had chroniclesd my first impressions and winning run of this game once again in another site:
https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@acstriker/neo-contra-pure-2000s-top-down-action-with-the-manliest-super-soldiers-engesp
https://peakd.com/hive-140217/@acstriker/learning-to-love-neo-contra-the-surprise-revenge-engesp
But the summary is that despite the intimidating first run, it is possible to catch on this game's pace and tricks after a few attempts, specially if you have the right weapons at hand, such as the Type-E set which I got from my first B-rank playthrough in co-op, and used to repeat Stages 2 to 4 repeatedly to get an S or A-rank in them in order to unlock the final two stages and finish the whole game with an A-rank.
Bombastic, fun, can take some time to get used to the lack of twin-stick controls, but otherwise it is a pretty cool game that I would recommend checking out.
