Contra: Hard Corps for Genesis Free download

BSEditor: The game retained the fast-paced run and gun gameplay from previous titles but shifted Focus from fighting onslaughts of enemy troops and Vehicles to mainly boss encounters. Some enhancements were established in this title such as multiple paths, multiple endings and selectable characters. It's also considered to be the most difficult game in the series, especially the international versions, which removed the lifebar that was present in the Japanese game.

The gameplay follows the same formula as its predecessor. As in Contra III, the player can carry more than one weapon in their arsenal, as well as a stock of smart bombs that kills all on-screen enemies. This time the player can carry up to four power-ups, with each character having a unique weapon configuration. The weapon capsules are labelled "A", "B", "C" and "D", with A replacing the default machine gun weapon once picked up. As in Contra III, the player will lose their currently equipped weapon when they die and the number of smart bombs automatically resets one.

Hard Corps also gives bigger emphasis on set boss battles and encounters than previous games in the series.
