You have to be literally autistic to enjoy this game.

That's how I feel about the American Contra Hard Corps

a game without difficulty is like a book without story, useless

Name one thing autistic about this. I'll wait.

Is this the best story ever written? So much LORE

The Year is 2015. The planet
Sierra is gripped by fear and is
in the midst of a deep crisis.
The evil terrorist group, Scarlet
are still a commanding force.
They have the power to prevent
humans travelling to and from the
outside universe.
Scarlet's members consist of
artificial beings creates using
super genetic engineering by the
Sierrans. Scarlet is an
underground organization that has
been secretly formed with the
express intention of destroying
the human race.
In addition to their high level
of intelligence and awesome
strength, Scarlet's members are
equipped with parasitic abilities
that allow them to live within
human beings, animals and
machinery. Equipped with these
abilities they conquered the
Sierrans and stand on the brink
of obtaining supremacy over
Sierra

Epsilon-Eagle, the boss of the
Scarlet group, is the intended
target of an assassination
attempt being planned by
Sierrans. A special combat group,
capable of using super powers,
was secretly dispatched to carry
out this mission.
Scarlet unleashed a sudden attack
on epsilon with their super
powers. Epsilon, seriously
damaged by the attack, was thrown
into the time-space continuum
which had been activated by
Scarlet's use of super powers.
With Epsilon seemingly gone
forever, Xi-Tiger' took control of
Scarlet amidst the resulting
confusion. With Xi-Tiger now in
charge, the terrorist attacks
against Sierrans became more
frequent and brutal.
With this increase in attacks
towards Sierrans, Xi-Tiger soon
became unpopular amongst Scarlet
members. As a result, the demands
for the re-instatement of Epsilon
as the leader of the Scarlet
group became stronger.
Having been isolated from the
other Scarlet members, Xi-Tiger
Decided to assassinate Epsilon.
In an attempt to activate the
Time-space continuum, Xi-Tiger
ordered an attack on the
Sierrans' research laboratory,
where children with super powers
were behind held hostage having
been kidnapped.
Xi-Tiger sensed something was
wrong. He could feel the presence
of Epsilon in one of the boys.
However, he was unsure because he
couldn't pinpoint the evil from
Epsilon, who had entered the
boy's body and was now living as
a parasite inside of him. In an
attempt to get Epsilon out of the
Boy's Body, Xi-Tiger took a young
girl hostage and threatened to
kill her unless Epsilon released
the boy.
The boy flew into a rage and
morphed his body into Epsilon
Suddenly, where the boy had been
standing, now stood a 'Birdman'
with steel wings.
Epsilon's mind was in conflict
as a battle between it's real
nature, human justice, and the
foreign force raged on.
Xi-Tiger could sense an unknown
power within Epsilon, and fled
immediately having killed the
girl first.

---Epsilon---
'Xi-Tiger, I will never let you
get Away.'
Epsilon is not the only creature
of his kind. Somehow Another
'Birdman' with a similar body had
been created. Although their
bodies were identical, their
minds were very different.
Unknown to everybody, the mind of
the Mysterious new 'birdman' was
filled with an evil ambition
He also flew off in search of
Xi-Tiger..............

And to think the game creator wanted to include EVEN MORE LORE. The game we saw is just about half of what he wanted to do.
How deeper would it be? We'll never know.

>Even when the development of Alien Soldier ended, my idealized vision of it just kept growing. I would like to make an Alien Soldier game again. This is my game. It is my work. I want to complete the story I began. I want to program everything through to the end myself, and do all the art myself. I want to show the process of how Epsilon 2 grows into and becomes the Alien Soldier. The youthful love between Kaede and Fou (Epsilon 2’s name when he was in human form), a Seven Force with seven transformations, or perhaps a boss with a hundred transformations—no, even a thousand!—I want to create all of that.
If he can't make a game, he should make it a movie!

The anti-treasure guy still hasn't seen this thread?

It's the only game Anti-Treasurefag can't shit on. It's just that good.

>>4060154
Not a big fan of Alien Soldier but the game is hard to compare to something similar, so I guess at least it's kinda unique

>>4057714
u rekt urself normie

>>4060086
the learning curve is retarded and most people will get fucked by the first boss/time out on it since they don't know what they're doing (even if they know to use the full health teleport on the boss to kill it ASAP, they'll get hit long before that and not recover full health)
the controls are a little bit of a mess trying to fit all the various options onto a 3 button pad (weapon switching is actually fairly obnoxious in the heat of things)

that's it though -- once you have the controls down, the game's just really stylish and has some truly slick boss fights
music's okay, graphics are great

>>4058495
I honestly love the story. Mild shame it really doesn't matter one bit in-game.
>terrorist leader gets violently ousted
>guy worse than him takes over

>old leader was a terrorist but now he's got a head full of thoughts of justice

good shit

He hates "boss rush" though.

>>4057720
So non fiction books have no purpose?

>>4057716
Hard Corps is a meme, it's no harder than other Contra games. Contra 3 on max difficulty is far more challenging.

One day I'll learn how to play this. One day...
Passed Guardian Heroes without much of an issue, but the movement in Alien Soldier seems much more iffy to do in practice.

I can't get past the character design, I hate playing as a space chicken.

Birds are badass.

Too hard for your Nintendon'toddler ass? Can't just hold right and wahoo through the levels, huh? LMAO.

>>4063341
Nintendude here, Alien Soldier is easy once you get used to the dashing. I beat this game without getting hit on my 3DS.
If you want a real challenge play Punch-Out.

>>4063345
Punch-Out is for children, real men play God Hand on hard mode with the Kick-Me sign on their back the whole game.

Real men 1CC Contra 3 on Hard.

>>4063368
>God Hand on hard mode with the Kick-Me sign on their back the whole game.
Did that, you can really break the game with some ridiculous combos you can buy. Amazing 3D beat em up, maybe the best.
>1CC Contra 3 on Hard
Okay, you got me there.

>>4063345
>Alien Soldier is easy once you get used to the dashing
This. So much this. Alien Soldier being hard is just a very bad meme.

>>4063373
>>4063345
agree. I love the game but it isn't as hard as people think, you just need to master the controls and you're set. Full-life dashing and the Lancer are too op

>>4063235

The english version of the game was developed for (and became a legend in) PAL regions. It gets its reputation as a tryhard memorization-fest because most people in burgerland played the 50hz game on a 60hz system. It wasn't designed for that.

>>4064876
The Euro rom slows down at 50hz, it's totally designed to be ran at 60hz.

>>4064906
The PAL ROM isn't. The JP NTSC ROM is.

>>4058495
Archons
They re here

>>4064994
That's wrong, man, if you play the JP and EU side by side you'll notice the EU is running slower than it's supposed to at 50hz.

>>4065223
Why would I play two of them at the same time? That doesn't make any sense.

>>4057714
you'd have to be literally retarded not to.

>>4064876
>It gets its reputation as a tryhard memorization-fest because most people in burgerland played the 50hz game on a 60hz system.

I played the JP version on an emulator then later bought a bootleg of it to play on real hardware. Nobody would expose themselves to 50hz trash. It was also released in the west on the sega channel back in the day (in 60hz of course).
