Boss Battles
This compilation delivers two titans of the action platformer genre back-to-back. The tight, responsive controls of Contra and its relentless, screen-filling action are a pure shot of adrenaline, while the gothic atmosphere and deliberate pace of Castlevania offer a more measured, exploratory challenge. Both games demand mastery of their respective systems, and the thrill of overcoming their stiff difficulty keeps players returning.
