  "Wild Dogs" is a cool retro styled platformer in the vein of the classic Contra games. The game follows the typical run-and-gun platformer format, but occasionally the game-play changes into a fixed-screen shooter (where you control a vehicle) or precision platformer (where you play as the hero's dog!). Expect hordes of alien and robotic enemies and lots of mini-bosses (I'm currently in the middle of stage 2 and I've already encountered 6). The game's difficulty is on the higher side, so you'll likely need to replay each level a few times to practice and get the hang of things. Visually, this game features lovely monochrome pixel art, with color palettes that are reminiscent of the classic Gameboy. The tilesets and character sprites are beautiful and add to the overall nostalgic feel of the game. If you enjoy a challenge or have fond memories of classics like Contra, then you'll definitely enjoy "Wild Dogs"!

  Wild dogs is a fun contra style run and gun game with mans best friend in tow, i love the gameboy look and music it really add the to the style. game play wise its plays great on the run and gun levels with tight controls and a few difrent weapons to pick up but the shooting stages have a bit of momentum to them making it a little hard at first to dodge bullets but you soon get used to it, there a great mix of levels and some surprise stages later on and i am not going to mention here. Really good fun game recommended and well worth picking up.

  This game is a a love letter sent to Contra. With its perfectly balanced difficulty, crazy amount of bosses and clever level design its a superb 2d run-and-gun side scroller. For a negative things i can point out are: there is a time limit for every level i honestly do not know why, i hate time limits in every game, i want to enjoy the game without rushing it... Weapons could be upgradable if you picked the same one 2nd time in a row, sadly they arent. The story and especially the ending of the game is just very bad... I wish this game had an coop mode. If you enjoy contra style games and you arent scared of a low color palettes go for it and buy it. Gameplay is just pure old style fun. :)

  Not denying how cool this is but pretty difficult.

  Short, I would wish to say fantastic, but just good game. 5 stages, few weapons, clear inspiration taken from NES games like Contra, Battletoads and few other minor games. Pros: + Contra alike! + Battletoads Turbo Tunnel (Unless You hate it!) + Variety of colors! Cons: - I got Contra vibes, but those are washed off later on - Short and annoying in few places - Depending on color palette, hard to read the screen sometimes I got more or less something I wanted, as well as part of gameplay I wanted to completely avoid. Achievements are just for playing the game, nothing special. On a sale, why not? Give it a go!

  This game is so addictive and satisfyingly fun! 4K to 8K graphics are great but even a graphically pixels game like this one is even better and default winner in replayability value that guarantee to keep you coming back for more! I love great games with doggies because I'm more of a dog lover. I like other animals too, but dogs mostly are the most loyal and true best friends ever among many. So if you like cool side scroller shooter and awesome dogs, this is definitely made for us. Keep on gaming, gamer buddies! (^_^)d
