HARD CORPS UPRISING OPENING UPGRADE
HARD CORPS UPRISING OPENING SERIES

Attack Reflector: The Ripple power-up.

Art Shift: With Arc Systems at the helm, the game heavily resembles BlazBlue, as in high-res sprites, anime characters, and 3D environments combined.

Anime Hair: Harley sports an epic pompadour.

Finally, the longer you play the game, the more continues you get: the number starts from 3 and goes steadily up to 20 before finally jumping up to, you guessed it, 573.

HARD CORPS UPRISING OPENING UPGRADE

Arc Number: 573 is all over the place and probably shows up more than in any other Konami game: the stage 3 midboss and boss are called 573-Tigris and 573-Draconis respectively note they are called Kasuga-Tora and Kasuga-Ryu in the Japanese versions, making themselves as Kasuga series, the Rising Mode has an upgrade that gives you 30 lives which costs 57,300,000 points to buy and if you use a variation of Konami Code that allows you to buy it without beating the game first with that character, the main menu reads 'CODE 573'.Stage 7 mentions that he has no memories beyond the point when he fought Bahamut, and Stage 8 all but confirms that he is actually dead or dying and, having finally realized why Bahamut betrayed the Commonwealth, envisions himself taking down the Emperor before finally succumbing to his injuries. All Just a Dream: Leviathan's story mode is stated in the loading screen texts to be a dream of him experiencing what Bahamut went through in the first seven stages before the Knight Lunata battle in which Leviathan was defeated.Hard Corps: Uprising provides examples of: These range from increasing your maximum amount of starting lives and health, improving your basic mobility, instantly receiving upgraded versions of weapons when you pick up their corresponding capsules, and adding new contextual moves such as dodging during a run (and counterattacking), reflecting certain enemy shots, or busting through barricades and enemy cover. In addition to the Arcade Mode's challenge of blowing through all eight stages in a single go with limited lives and continues, there's the more manageable 'Rising Mode' where you can use upgrades to your characters purchased with your hard-earned points. By default, your character can sprint forward, double jump and dash in midair, which makes evading enemy fire just a tiny bit easier. Gameplay wise, Uprising combines the classic Run-and-Gun Contra formula - wherein you move forward mowing down hooded Mooks and other dangerous opponents, picking up weapon power-ups and dodging hailstorms of bullets - with the style and some of the mechanics of BlazBlue. Of the quartet, only Bahamut and Krystal are initially available as playable characters, with the other two, as well as Tiberius' right hand man Leviathan, available as premium downloadable content.

His unit also consists of fellow soldiers Krystal, a young woman with considerable combat skills whose village was destroyed during a Commonwealth attack and joins the fight so nobody else would have to suffer a tragedy like hers Harley, a boisterous guy with Cool Shades and an awesome pompadour and female samurai Sayuri, who forgoes the whole shooting thing in favor of a more close up and personal approach to fighting. Leading the Union Forces in the fight is ex-Commonwealth soldier Bahamut note (Who has the same name as) the final boss of Hard Corps, who deserted and switched sides after realizing it was evil. The story of Uprising involves the, well, uprising in the far future against the world's current tyrannical dictatorship, the Commonwealth, and its leader Emperor Tiberius.

Developed by Arc System Works - best known for the critically acclaimed Guilty Gear and BlazBlue series of fighters - it's a prequel to the original Contra, the very first installment in the series released on arcades and Famicom/NES, as well as Contra: Hard Corps, the spin-off entry released on the Sega Genesis, hence the title. Despite not having the Contra name directly attached to it, the game makes it pretty clear that it is indeed part of the franchise. Hard Corps: Uprising is a downloadable entry in the Contra series released for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
