Maybe we've looped back around as a culture to where we can appreciate this game's extremely 2000s art direction. Either way this is a really good Contra. The rotating weapon loadout is a pretty clever idea.

This game had maybe too (??) much fun with the Contra IP and would've been better-received as a standalone top-down co-op shooter. On its own terms it's a very good game, though the goofy stuff is more successful than the grotesque.

I hate growing up too
