AI-powered picks based on gameplay, mechanics & feel

Blazing Chrome

If Super Contra's relentless side-scrolling action and sci-fi aesthetic resonated with you, Blazing Chrome delivers that same high-octane, pixel-art run-and-gun experience but with modern polish and a killer synthwave soundtrack.

92% Match

Helldivers 2

While shifting to a third-person perspective, Helldivers 2 captures Super Contra's essence of chaotic, co-op alien blasting against overwhelming odds, demanding teamwork and quick thinking to survive each mission.

85% Match

Rico

Rico takes the fast-paced, action-oriented shooting of Super Contra and translates it into a cel-shaded, first-person experience where breaching and clearing rooms is your primary objective, maintaining the high-octane feel.
