(Online Interactions Not Rated by the ESRB) Thrilling retro run-and-gun action is back with a vengeance in Hard Corps: Uprising, a new 2D side-scroller developed by ARC System Works that pays homage to classic Konami action series. Play as the soldier Bahamut as he begins to write his legend. Battle in the grueling trenches of Arcade mode, where only the best-of-the-best can survive to the end, or the all-new Rising mode, where a life bar and point system allow you to purchase items and upgrades to build your soldier up and achieve ultimate victory. Partner with a friend to lay down some serious carnage.Show More. Submitted on 5/6/2017 Review title of Mr Yso SiriusOne of the best side scrolling shooters I've played!When bc was announced, this was the first game I requested. The action is non-stop with lots of surprise moments that might be considered cheap at first.
This morning, Microsoft announced that Hard Corps: Uprising has been. Everything below with bombs, and Sayuri eschews guns in favor of a.
However, you can learn from your mistakes and give flawless runs with practice. The best shooters are the ones with punishing difficulty without cheating the player. Plus the music is awesome with hints of Contra in the boss fights. The anime style works well for this, even if there aren't nearly as many aliens as in a typical Contra game.

To a faultGood game for fans of retro games like Contra, obviouslly, with added features like air-dashing and deflecting bullets back at enemies. Mostly hard but fair, though some deaths involve minor trail and error.
The best part is the Rising mode. You upgrade yourself and can skip already completed levels.
Great for less skilled players, they can even turn off upgrades to use it as a practice mode before tackling Arcade mode, the full 'retro' mode.The control issues really stick out in Arcade though.

HOLDING fire causes AUTOMATIC guns to fire half speed. You'll cramp up mashing fire just to kill things faster.Modern controls would keep the same gameplay while improving the entire game, but unfortunately it's so stubborn to be retro that it brought the bad with the good.
