Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a 2D shooter platformer game. I could say that's what "Contra" should be to stay relevant today. It's not as frenetic and challenging as the old classic, but it's still enjoyable.

The gameplay is perfect for what it intends to do. There are a lot of things happening at the same time on your screen, and you have to manage to kill your enemies while avoiding being hit. You'll face zombies that hurt you when they get close and humans that will shoot at you.

The story is a bit crazy, mixing zombies and the Mafia. I'm pretty sure the developers didn't intend for it to be the focus here, but it's kind of funny in some events.

The art is really good. It's a cartoon design that matches pretty well with the vibe of the game.

Guns, Gore & Cannoli is a fun game. It's short but worth every Penny. I think you should give it a chance if you find it at a good price.
