Yup, the same Arc System Works that developed games like Guilty Gear and Blazblue, and judging from the result, it seems Konami knew really well who they should entrust their classic to, for it seems Arc System Works have it all figured out when it comes to arcade games. The second thing that I think would be worth to mention is that, unless it predecessors, who were developed mainly by Konami, this entry was developed by Arc System Works. The thing is Hard Corps went a bit unnoticed during its release, although I highly doubt this was due to the game’s quality. I said I wouldn’t talk about popular series in this blog, but just like in the cases of Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland and Prinny Can I Really be the Hero, I think that, despite its high quality standards, this entry of Konami’s classic series never got the attention it deserved, be it because it didn’t have the Contra “quality seal” in the title, because it was released only as a downloadable game when this format was just starting to boom thanks to the success of high quality games such as Castle Crashers, Braid or Limbo, because this kind of game in not on fashion at the moment, or for a combination for all of those reasons at the same time. Yes, that’s right, the same Contra that took the arcades by storm a couple of decades ago and that has been “missing in action” in the recent years, which it’s not surprising when you think of Konami’s recent publishing policies. I think it’s important to mention first that, when we talk about Hard Corps Uprising, we are not talking just about another Run N’ Gun, for, even its name doesn’t say so, we are talking about the last entry in Konami’s legendary Contra series. Hello everyone! How is everything going? Did you throw some punches already with Spectral VS Generation, the 2D VS fighting game of which I talked in the last entry? In this new entry I’m going to talk about another classic style 2D game, although in this case it belongs to the Run N’ Gun genre. HAZ CLIC AQUÍ PARA LEER ESTA ENTRADA EN ESPAÑOL.
