Ray Poward (returning from Hard Corps) is deployed to thwart Bassad's scheme along with three of the newest members of the Hard Corps team: Tasha, a female mercenary CD-288, a robot and Bubba, an alien. Bassad has allied himself with an unknown alien entity for his bid to world domination. The game was scheduled to be released in Japan as well, but was cancelled.Ĭolonel Bassad, a dictator of a small country, has become a threat and is amassing an army of soldiers, robots, and alien mutants. Legacy of War bears the distinction for being the first console game in the series to retain both the Contra title and human characters during its release in Europe and Australia (where the console series has been known as Probotector from the first NES game until Contra: Hard Corps).

Legacy of War marks the series' shift to three-dimensional graphics and gameplay, the game was also packaged with a pair of 3D anaglyph glasses.


It is a follow-up to Contra: Hard Corps, and was the first of two games in the Contra series that were externally developed by Appaloosa the second game, C: The Contra Adventure, was released in 1998. You won't be disappointed with those Contra games.Contra: Legacy of War is a 3D action game produced by Konami and developed by Appaloosa Interactive that was originally released in 1996 for the PlayStation and Sega Saturn. Try the Contra series on PlayStation 2 such as Contra: Shattered Soldier and Neo Contra. Take my advice and don't even lay a finger on this game. No one needs 3D glasses to see that games are in 3D, that is all relied on polygons and cel-shaded graphics. Like hell we would be interested in that feature. There is a 3D mode in this game that requires the included 3D glasses from the early release. This game is so frustrating that you regret even playing this garbage for the first time. After they take enough hits, they blow up instead of falling to the ground. Instead, you take a hit and hear your character scream in a lame way. The life system in this game is nothing like the traditional Contra games where the characters dies from one hit. The controls in this game are so screwed up that you can't aim very well at various times and evading attacks is a mere pathetic problem. The graphics were so horrible, especially the terrible character designs of the game. First off, the game was developed by the Hungarian developer Appaloosa Interactive and KCET (now Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo) is missing from the development production of the Contra series. Contra: Legacy of War is of no doubt the worst Contra game ever.
