Hard Times 1CC
41 credit clear of Hard Times (Arcade), an Italian made hack/reskin of Blood Bros. Played on August 4th 2025. using FBNeo standalone, recorded off a input replay
Normal difficulty / factory settings
No save states, cheats or anything like that. Turbofire was used in this playthrough (7 Hz)
1CC challenge difficulty: 7.5/10
A bit easier than Blood Bros, but still challenging. This game is shorter too with 3 late tough levels missing. It's easier to max out grenades, seems to have no rank difficulty increase.
However, some of the bugs make it more challenging than what it should be (seems to be tied with the more drastic examples enemy type alternations and terrain changes).
Overall it's one of the best bootlegs that I played and a very solid alternative to the original game.
