This is a compilation of eight games from the Contra series, released by Konami. The set was developed on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the creation of the Japanese company in question. The compilation consists of such titles as Contra, Super Contra, Super C and Contra III: The Alien Wars. The storyline plays only a supporting role. Their action takes place in the distant future, and the players step into the shoes of soldiers whose task is to face the aliens that threaten the Earth. The productions that make up the compilation are shoot'em ups, in which the action is shown mainly from the side (although the events are sometimes also presented from a different perspective). Over the course of the game, players travel through various locations, jump through platformer sections and bypass traps, as well as face hordes of adversaries. Among the latter, the leading ones are the powerful bosses with not only high attack power, but also high resistance to our own attacks; overcoming them requires us to find and fire at specific weak points. An extensive arsenal of futuristic rifles is at our disposal when it comes to the elimination of hostiles. The games can be played in singleplayer or in a local cooperation mode. The compilation is enhanced with an ebook containing a lot of information from behind the scenes. |
