The Contra series has had its highs and lows, from classics like the NES original, Contra III: The Alien Wars, and Contra: Hard Corps, to disappointing releases like Legacy of War, Neo Contra, Rogue Corps, and Operation Galuga. But the run-and-gun genre is alive and well, thanks to indie developers who have outshined modern Contra games. In this video, we break down 10 indie shooters that deliver the fast-paced, bullet-blazing action Gen X and early Millennials crave!
