None of the cheats work on this version, so good luck! I ended up playing it on an emulator but still couldn't get past the last boss. i played it for 6 hours straight and only go to the 4th stage.

This is hands down the hardest Contra game EVER. You'll even battle aliens while riding a motorcycle and while perched atop a flying spacecraft. You'll run, jump, slide, climb (on walls and ceilings) and shoot your way through cities, jungles, alien space and other exotic locations. The game has a certain degree of nonlinear play in that there are a number of different pathways to take, storylines to follow, and game endings to achieve. The available weapons depend on which character you are controlling.Ĭontra: Hard Corps lets you team up with a friend through more than 10 levels, some of which are hidden. Browny is a robotic intelligence tool who packs a laser.Įach character has a standard machine gun, bombs and four possible weapons pick-ups, including Spread, which fires in five directions at once, Shower Crash, which rains down exploding shells, and Gemini Scatter, which returns like a boomerang. Brad Fang is part wolf-man, part cyborg, with a Gatling gun grafted onto his left arm. Sheena Etranzi is a jungle girl especially skilled in guerilla tactics. Raised in the city slums, Ray Poward is an expert combatant. Contra: Hard Corps lets you play as one of four different members of the Hard Corps team.The character’s class and gender are indicated by their uniform and headgear they are divided into three classes: B-class, A-class and S-class. As the game progresses, additional characters can be unlocked and played, each with unique abilities. In the original game, Bill Rizer is the only character available for play. One-Life Mode is a difficult mode in which the player character is defeated in a single hit.Gear can be enhanced with loot (such as EXP tickets), and it can be upgraded with materials gathered while playing.Players can buy premium currency and in-game gold to acquire equipment of higher rarities for greater firepower and survivability.Heroes can use two weapons, three super weapons, and two active hero abilities.
