No improvement over 90s, horrible design
I only have cons for this game, so here they are: - This game is like Contra with no improvements apart form some Metal Slug-style mechs which you can pilot. The problem is, if you're gonna copy a game from 30 years ago, you better bring some innovation to the table. As examples, 2 games that do this very well well are Huntdown and Fight'N Rage. - I love difficult games and stuff like Metal Slug. however the problem here is the way the difficulty is implemented. There's a HUGE discrepancy in how much skill is required to beat a boss based on how well-equipped you get to it. You can beat some bosses in literally under 10 seconds standing still and pressing the fire button IF you never died during the level and reached the boss with a defensive bot and a grenade launcher, OR you have to dodge and aim perfectly for 3 minutes instead if you died before reaching the boss and lost your gear. Add this to the fact that you usually only find each weapon once or twice per level and it becomes a very unbalanced and frustrating experience. I found myself dying just once and then suiciding on purpose until I lost all of my lives to restart the level because I knew it was just more time-efficient to restart, considering the length of the boss battle and the low chances of beating him with basic gear. This would honestly be more fun if you had a single life. Also, boss battles should never end in under 10 seconds and should never be a joke. Also, why the fuck would you not add a "restart mission" option under these circumstances? - There's a bug or a very bad design choice that absolutely every time you continue a game from where you left off, you start with 2 lives instead of 5. - There are only 3 weapons apart from the default one, and the devs didn't even bother to make different models for them. They all look exactly the same in the player's hands. Even Metal Slug, an ancient game this one takes inspiration from, had different weapon models AND more weapons.
