Contra III: The Alien Wars

Story

It is set in the futuristic year 2636, two years after the events of Super Contra (previous version for the NES). The protagonists Bill Rizer and Lance Bean are once again called to fight against an alien invasion. By using Super NES technology, the graphics in this game were improved compared to the previous games. It is considered by many to be the best game in the Contra series. The game features a variety of weapons, initially an accurate but very weak machine gun. Some of the weapons are: Rockets, flamethrowers, lasers, shots that reach a large area, extremely powerful missiles, among others, each with its advantage and disadvantage. The bosses are a strong point of Contra III, they are very scary, big and well made, each with a different ability and different ways to be defeated, which makes the game very unpredictable, you never know how to defeat the boss, and dying to them is almost certain. In most stages there is also a mini-boss that is very easy to defeat. The gameplay is excellent, the joystick commands respond perfectly, the characters shoot in every direction, lie on the floor, jump, climb the wall, do almost everything. The graphics are great and original and the aliens are different from what we are used to and look scary.
