1. Your dedication to your craft of game mastering continues to impress. :) 2. Games like this should serve as inspiration to us all, especially those like me and others who would love to make games that pay homage to adored franchises.
I wish we could get a contra remaster or a new game with the hard corps storyline or a sequel to that game, in my opinion it was the best contra game of all times, the choices system was one of my favorite features and the variety of characters, even the soundtracks, everything from hard corps was epic
this is probably the closest we'll get to a good Hard Corps sequel, Konami nowadays is a mere shadow of itself, probably all the amazing talent they had has left already.
No, people, this guy is right. It even has the same color palette, very similar sound, and it even has a similar speed. Heck, even the chars have different weapon sets and you can switch them anytime you want.
kokubunji there is only one weapon set and the other is the sword. The sound is a lot less hectic and has a different tone. Colour palette is more metal slug and less bright. Also the atmosphere is more generic I kinda wish this game was weirder but it is still absolutely fantastic.
Gameplay: Contra Art style: Megaman X (The cyclop stage and the motor bike looks just like in X4) Metal Slug: Mission Accomplished I think I'm in love.
The sheer number of games they borrow aesthetics from in this just for bosses is really impressive. Everything from the entire 2D Contra franchise to Gunstar Heroes to the Mega Man X series. And they use those influences really well, too.
Un tributo a Contra, con referencias a Ninja Gaiden, Megaman, resident evil, Metal Slug, con ese final se siente orgulloso Michael Bay, que buen juego!
Theres 3 bots This bot is speed bot and he speeds you up The second bot is defense bot and he gives you 2 extra hit points The last bot is attack bot and he shoots with tou
@Far from Evolution Those were very good, but I'm talking about a real Hard Corps sucessor. Shattered Soldier was more of a Contra 3 sequel and HC Uprising was a Blazblue-ish prequel(which isn't bad at all imo, the animation was gorgeous).
@@arkanjoteixeira chronologically speaking Hard Corps is after Contra 3&4, however Shattered Soldier is after Hard Corps, and after Shattered Soldier comes Neo Contra.
I gotta say, I LOVE this game. The pixel art is very well done, the gameplay is super fun and fluid, very reminiscent of Contra AND Metal Slug, and I really like the old video game references they threw in here too. Like the Ride Chaser from Megaman X4, the pseudo-3D tunnel boss that I think is a throwback to the N. Gin fight from Crash Bandicoot 3, and the final boss which is basically mimicking Sigma from Megaman X1
What a fantastic looking game. There's been a lot of retro 8/16 bit titles out there lately, but this is the only one that really captures that classic Irem/Metal Gear style of detail and artistry.
Visual, style, gameplay and music wise this looks like a love letter to Contra Hard Corps. It even the same "over the top" feeling. The drone thing reminded me of Shatterhand though lol And the main char looks like Sheena Etranzi.
I keep getting confused when playing this game, at time I feel like I'm playing Contra and at other times I feel like I'm Metal Slug... It fucks with my game play. I love the visuals.
I played only the original Contra and watch only half of the first boss and half of the second one, but I can recognize a Contra when I see one. Looks great!
I watched all your videos, you're a great platform gamer. You've finished all the games from my childhood. I'm just finished Bloodstained Ritual Of The Night, this game has really tough bosses and levels, I'd really like to see you defeat this game with its bosses. that'd be realluy great. Well done!
I love how much it's on the nose of the exact style it was going for. My favorite thing tho is the balance of challenge. Still hard like old games but with saves and continues. Totally makes the difference between fuck this and I love this.
It's like an awesome action B-movie..... Plus, it feels like it's own thing, perfecting just about what it's based on. What's not to respect here, honestly!
Dear Shadowserg, maybe you can help me? I found all the games from my childhood except one, so maybe you know which one it is based on my loose memories: - It was an arcade similar to MegaMan, where you are controlling your character on a scrolling or sliding level, and have variety of ranged attacks (not a gun if I remember correctly) - First level was starts with a bunch of metal construction rails in green color, with few placed melted and bright orange, and dripping on layers/pathways of level below. - I remember a worm boss that had an attack where it shrinks back to a hole and head detaches and tornadoes around the screen until "screwing" back in - Last boss was kinda like Rick-looking mad scientist, but buff, busting out of some science tube - Whole game had aesthetic similar to game above (Blazing Chrome) - When character dies, it had a very long "whoooooooo" sound that sounds like it was dropping down the deep well
That Megaman X4 intro stage(even freaking street and arcs from the first phase) and also its explosion sound efects, damn this game is god tier in references and cameos, also the final boss "sigma like" from x1, AND FREAKING MEGAMAN ZERO STYLE BOSSES AND EXPLOSIONS, GOD BLESS THIS GAME.
Since you have a little experience with this game, do you by any chance know how to unlock the two hidden characters? Is it as easy as beating Arcade mode?
Bro how many time you spent for each game to make any video...it's always amazing to see any of yours! also, I want to recommend you a game called ZeroRanger, it's a pretty cool shootem up

One of my biggest fears is spiders
And this game is not helping 😅😆
16:38 to final boss, reminds mega man boss encounters
It's a mechanical bear, not bull

Just amazing game! Real True Contra! I recommend it to all Contra fans!
Much better than that new contra game, jesus
We hope bro
The true Contra nowadays are made by the fans for fans
@@ikagura but is a great job bro
Shadowserg feels contra in sega.
Its honestly too bad there aren't too many games like this anymore... This game will forever hold a special place in my heart.
Couple of other indie games would like a word with you.
Just watching the first two fights, I can already see the quality, love and care put into this little gem.
Wish Contra Hard Corps looked this good

The best one for me was Contra 3
@@cyco7229 Hard Corps technically did have a sequel (though storywise it was a prequel) Hard Coprs: Uprising.
@DoDonPachi SaiDaiOuJou It's good but nowhere close Contra III (especially soundtrack wise).
The best is Shattered soldier
*CONTRA HARD CORPS STYLE!!!*
Reminds me more of contra 4 than anything.
More super C with the design except for the large amount of bosses and rolling.
No, people, this guy is right. It even has the same color palette, very similar sound, and it even has a similar speed.

JSENNER83 the one with the Jubei char? I always wanted to try it but I never found it
Gameplay: Contra
Art style: Megaman X (The cyclop stage and the motor bike looks just like in X4)
Metal Slug: Mission Accomplished
I think I'm in love.
Ehm no, art style it's totally reminiscent of hard corps.
Maybe some of Contra III
Metal Slug: Weapon becomes melee next to an enemy.
Gameplay: Contra and Ninja Gaiden
you mean the big boss that attack sky lagoon?
The sheer number of games they borrow aesthetics from in this just for bosses is really impressive. Everything from the entire 2D Contra franchise to Gunstar Heroes to the Mega Man X series. And they use those influences really well, too.
Looks better than the actual Contra game recently announced.
Mr. JH games great but that’s a pretty low bar
robert bektas I know that was a shot at Konami.
Exactly what i was thinking
Yeah!!
Hahaha, true contra feelings.
The love that was put into this game is real
Undoubtedly.
I can't believe a veteran like me never knew about this masterpiece, such a fantastic game!
Un tributo a Contra, con referencias a Ninja Gaiden, Megaman, resident evil, Metal Slug, con ese final se siente orgulloso Michael Bay, que buen juego!
Michael Bay sucks
Contra with Metal Slug graphics?
*Shut up and take my money!*
At first I was thinking "Cool another old game I've missed." But then I was like "wait, those long hair animations are too good for SNES or Genesis."
This is for PS4, XBOX, and Switch too, not only Steam.
Does it need to take up a whole game disk? With the graphics i cant imagine more than 500mb used
DrDemento456 On PS4 I have it downloaded only.
this has to be one of the best 16bit games ever. And damn, you make it looks so easy to play lmao just awesome!
This is an absolute gem of a game. Wish there was a physical copy.
Everything about it is class and the end credit 80s number, just wow.

Me : Finna get this game
He's cute. What does he do?
Theres 3 bots
This bot is speed bot and he speeds you up
The second bot is defense bot and he gives you 2 extra hit points
The last bot is attack bot and he shoots with tou
@@kaos5633 The speed bot also gives you a double jump.
I take it this idea was inspired by Shatterhand from the NES?
@@phantomartistvio3382 yup
28 años como gamer y no tenía ni idea de este juegazoooo!!! Que excelente esta. Para mi una joya oculta.
Awesome game! The 16-bits era lives on!
Game made in Brazil 🇧🇷❤️
Yeah, from developers of Oniken.
This is the second awesome retro arcade style game that comes from Brazil.
play odallus to amazing castlevania style
Come to brazil
I'm so glad you Brazillians appreciate the Mega Drive so much.
The Hard Corps sequel we will never get from Konami
Konami are bad
@Far from Evolution a decent one

This is a Mixture of Contra & Metal Slug all in one Game.

I'm actually surprised Konami didn't make this. The designer did a hell of a job replicating their style with the graphics and sounds
This have looks awesome! It just oozes with contra and hits that retro arcade feel perfectly
I have to admit the bosses were well made and were very flashy in their attacks, always a sign of a good action game.
Visual, style, gameplay and music wise this looks like a love letter to Contra Hard Corps. It even the same "over the top" feeling.
The drone thing reminded me of Shatterhand though lol

I keep getting confused when playing this game, at time I feel like I'm playing Contra and at other times I feel like I'm Metal Slug... It fucks with my game play. I love the visuals.
I love that they drew influences from Hard Corps out of all the titles.
23:11 I can see some homage for Sarah Connor in here, that was pretty cool!
I played only the original Contra and watch only half of the first boss and half of the second one, but I can recognize a Contra when I see one. Looks great!
My Mum and Dad played this. They’re really confused with the mechanical alien that is orange. I helped them but they stopped. This is useful! Thanks.
Mom and dad gamer thats cool
My Xbox game pass expired when I beat level 1 😭 it's really fun
After reading your comment I went to go download it haha
I'm so glad people still make games like this one.
Probably my favorite Contra-like you've played.
Haha, everything from monster design to the music screams Contra...f****ng love it ^^
Shadow, how in the flux capacitor do you keep finding gems? (great game's)
It's actually a fairly recent release, you should track down the trailer cuz it's super cheesy! XD
@@KyosukeShigeru now I must try you up on that offer, I appreciate the offers guys

Almost done. Almost. Just a little longer and there will be a boss run of Bloodstained here.
Honestly, this is just cool.
Cool! I love the "Sucked into the Virtual World" part...!
2 mins in and I'm drooling, great job JoyMasher
Another great brazilian game! That's why I love my country.
I love how much it's on the nose of the exact style it was going for. My favorite thing tho is the balance of challenge. Still hard like old games but with saves and continues. Totally makes the difference between fuck this and I love this.
By the looks of it i tought: That game looks old
Yep! it's very recent and looks so good, 2D games need to rise up!!!
It's like an awesome action B-movie..... Plus, it feels like it's own thing, perfecting just about what it's based on. What's not to respect here, honestly!
We all think that games like this don't exist anymore..... But they still! Its like my childhood games combined together contra+metal slug!
Finished this game yesterday on my Switch, it's awesome. The speed bot is pretty broken, it gives you a double jump and makes you very fast.
This game looks AWESOME as hell!!!, so nice RUclips brought me here.
"I'm glad you made it... :) " Good job on the run btw lol! Seeing this I had to buy.
Man... fucking amazing soundtrack, suddenly I want to be an agent of the future
Dear Shadowserg, maybe you can help me?

- It was an arcade similar to MegaMan, where you are controlling your character on a scrolling or sliding level, and have variety of ranged attacks (not a gun if I remember correctly)

- I remember a worm boss that had an attack where it shrinks back to a hole and head detaches and tornadoes around the screen until "screwing" back in
- Last boss was kinda like Rick-looking mad scientist, but buff, busting out of some science tube
- Whole game had aesthetic similar to game above (Blazing Chrome)
- When character dies, it had a very long "whoooooooo" sound that sounds like it was dropping down the deep well
Did you find it? If not, do you remember what platform it was on? Genesis? SNES?
@@DeskoDev Oh I found it, Reddit has its uses... the game is "Thunder Hoop (Gaelco 1992)"
@@D3w10n Huh, looks fun. I'll have to try that.
This gives off huge Contra fangame vibes
That Megaman X4 intro stage(even freaking street and arcs from the first phase) and also its explosion sound efects, damn this game is god tier in references and cameos, also the final boss "sigma like" from x1, AND FREAKING MEGAMAN ZERO STYLE BOSSES AND EXPLOSIONS, GOD BLESS THIS GAME.
The enemy sargeant is named "Commander Zet", according to the ost.
nice touch ,some classic and modern feel to it make me feel old but happy at the same time
15:22 Lol! That boss is just Robot Serris from Metroid Fusion! XD
Awesome! Congratulations!
Wow, that's one head trip of a final boss.
The greatest and the sequel contra hard cops we waiting so long.
She blows a bubble of gun for a victory pose? This game's got more character than I expected!
You know that someone's waifu material when she's a badass and blows bubble gum for victory poses.
The last phase of this boss clearly has some influences from Contra Hard Corps' mutant boss that ate Doctor Mandrake.
Everybody : its Contra ..
Me : MetalSlug ??? Any of you ever heard about it ??
Even the "mission complete" is the same style .
I'm not the only one who thought this, then.
I got Metal Slug vibes, too.
Very impressive game... and very impressive video from Shadowserg, as usual.
I love old console, i always see u play, keep it up shadowserg!!👍👍
Great job like always, Shadowserg! This game is awesome! 👍✌👊💪
this makes me think art style of hard corps with some contra 3 alien wars love it i need to buy it
Woaaaaaaahhhhh very nice :D Amazing, i love it :D
7:20 best boss reveal I've ever seen
Underwater Mutant is just like the big fish with the human face from Contra The Shattered Solider, just AWESOME!!
Since you have a little experience with this game, do you by any chance know how to unlock the two hidden characters? Is it as easy as beating Arcade mode?
You gotta finish the game on Hard mode.
Oh, seizure flashes, scanlines, and absurd difficulty, how I missed you.
Is there any traditional 'alien nest' like level (where the whole place is made of flesh)?
Hopefully they're working on Super Blazing Chrome with more stages and bigger bosses!
Wait this game was created in 2019!? I thought it was some old legendary 19s 0r 90s or whatever 1 or 2 it's from
This is Contra Hard Corps 2 for me 💙
Yes, this game is a solid throwback to Contra and Metal Gear. What kind of controller do you use?
Ending music such heartwarming. This game truly contra hard corps 2019.
The same guy who made this also works on the NGC fangame. He’s awesome.
WOW! 👍 Nice arcade game... 👌
Thanks. 🍹🍰 🎮 ✌😌
This looks awesome. Reminds me of Contra Hard Corps
This is pretty sweet! My friend loves arcade games. He's gotta check this out. I'll be sure to share your YT.

WTF
Es un juego espectacular
