Hard Corps Uprising was originally released in 2011. I am playing it now Remastered with 4K Ultra HD, smooth 60 frames per second and I added a Cyberpunk styled soundtrack with thumping beats by composer Daniel Deluxe. The original game is only available on Playstation 3 and Xbox 360. It is the spiritual successor to the Contra Series from Konami.
The punishing high difficulty is retained from Contra and the famous Konami code does work at the main screen and allows the 30 lives power-up for "Rising Mode". The big difference from Contra gameplay here is that Hard Corps Uprising has been designed to be "Rogue-Lite" genre. It is called "Rising Mode" and in that mode, each time you die & resurrect, you retain some of your skill progression to enable even further advancement when you restart. It allows for character growth after each death by spending points earned from playing through missions.
Thrilling retro run-and-gun action is back with a vengeance in Hard Corps: Uprising, a 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 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. Need help? Partner with a friend to lay down some serious carnage.
