![]() ![]() Nobuya Nakazato (the director of Contra III and Hard Corps) was put in charge of the game's direction, design and scenario. Moirai Relic: Mysterious force that the alien attackers were trying to recover.Īfter commissioning Appaloosa Interactive for the development of Contra: Legacy of War and C: The Contra Adventure, Konami assigned their internal KCE Tokyo team to work on the next installment in the franchise.Their names are Gaius, Nero and Commodus. They are the high government of Earth in 2647. Triumvirate: Three hundreds-of-years-old men who have prolonged their lives using cybernetic implants, which also combined their minds together.Now he has become the commander of the " Blood Falcon" terrorist organization and also has merged himself with an alien cell. Lance Bean: Bill's former partner and one of the protagonists of earlier Contra games.Geo Mandrake (from Contra: Hard Corps), but he was unable to finish her due to his death, so Lucia was developed later. Lucia: A female cybernetic super soldier and partner of Bill Rizer since she released him from his prison.Bill Rizer: The Alien Wars hero and one of the protagonists of earlier Contra games, Bill Rizer is brought back from his cryogenic prison, where he was located since he accidentally killed 80% of Earth's population.These primary weapons may be charged for a more powerful attack: the Round Sweeper, which launches out a "gun pod" that sprays bullets in multiple directions the Energy Shot, a large gunshot which delivers great damage and a barrage of Homing Missiles that traces the nearest target. The primary weapons are: a rapid fire automatic machine gun (Heavy Machine Gun), a flame thrower (Flame Whip) and a grenade launcher (Diver Mines). The power-up capsules and pill-box sensors from previous games are gone. The major departure in Shattered Soldier is the new weapon system, which consists of three weapons and three special shots. The player can replay previously cleared stages to achieve better grades. A high hit-ratio, along with the minimization of lives lost and continues used, is essential to receive the better endings, and consequently unlock the hidden extra features. Every unique target (non-respawnable) –whether it is an actual enemy or an object in the environment– that is destroyed increases this ratio. The game also introduces the concept of a "hit rate", which gauges the amount of enemies hit as a form of performance metric. However, the ending received now depends on the player's performance rather than the path taken. Like the Sega Genesis game, Shattered Soldier has multiple endings. The game is known for being very difficult, arguably more than Contra: Hard Corps. The game achieves its goal in mimicking the gameplay that made the previous 8-bit and 16-bit titles so popular by essentially duplicating the same style boss fights and stages.

However, five years later (in the year 2647), Earth faces another threat as the terrorist organization " Blood Falcon", led by a mysterious superhuman commander, spreads panic over the world. He was given a sentence of 10,000 years in cryogenic prison. Bill Rizer, the hero of the Alien Wars, was held responsible for the incident, as well as for supposedly murdering his partner Lance Bean who reportedly tried to stop him. 80% of the planet's population was completely devastated by a malfunctioning hyper-magnetic weapons grid during development. In 2642 A.D., Earth remains scarred from previous alien conflicts as environmental problems grow beyond humanity's control. ![]()
