Los amantes de los juego retro están de enhorabuena con la nueva obra del estudio 2ndBoss. Estamos ante un run´n gun ambientado en la portátil de Nintendo, aunque aportando una variedad exquisita en cada uno de sus cinco niveles. Ya no sólo tendremos secuencias de disparar y esquivar las balas del enemigo, sino que encontraremos situaciones donde controlaremos motos, helicópteros, aviones… incluso a nuestro perro labrador. Si os gustan los desafíos y además queréis revivir buenas reminiscencias delante de vuestra GameBoy, no dejéis pasar por alto esta pequeña joyita del catálogo indie. Canela en rama llena de balas.

Necesitamos más juegos como Wild Dogs, necesitamos volver a ciertas mecánicas dejadas de lado, sea cual sea su estética y con historias sencillas pero que aporten muchas horas de juego sin que estas sean artificialmente alargadas.

Is Wild Dogs worth your time and attention? If you’re a fan of punishing retro action games, absolutely. This game nails that balance of old-school presentation and modern sensibilities. Assuming you’re looking for a very specific kind of challenge, that is. Anyone looking for a new game to memorize will be overjoyed. On the flip side, your raw skills won’t be tested to the same degree. This is a short, sweet, sadistic title with remarkable graphics and an excellent soundtrack. Wild Dogs is the quintessential retro action experience.

A Contra-like experience that offers a solid difficult experience. Swapping color palettes on the fly is an excellent way to mix it up and cater to all gamers as they can have their favorite. The controls are tight but most importantly familiar. With explosions and Gunfire everywhere, the game is a non-stop arcade-like experience. Boss battles are not that varied and very clear cut but the levels leading up to them shine. It’s a game you put on to have a Contra fix bit not play Contra in the traditional sense as you have shmup and Vehicle sections to keep it different. Brilliant little game.

Siempre es agradecido el picotear del pasado en nuestro presente, cuando se hace bien y disfrutón y no como muchas veces era ese pasado. Wild Dogs ofrece poderoso Run'n Gun, junto a otros géneros, homenajes y divertidas sorpresas. Un juego para jugar y rejugar, para superarnos a nosotros mismos u otros jugadores en su ranking de puntuaciones, aunque con el lunar de la falta de más configuración y opciones. Pero el jugador solitario disfrutará de una experiencia más clásica con momentos exigentes aunque totalmente llevadera y gozosa.

Compared to a lot of run-and-gun games though, Wild Dogs is cut above some of the recent retro-inspired efforts. We were pleased that it held off on including any metroidvania-style mazey level layouts and didn’t slow down the action with too many puzzles but after being sent back to the start one too many times, it was hard to keep the enthusiasm for this one.

Despite the bullet-soaking and clunky vehicle sections, we like Wild Dogs. It’s a Contra tribute in an unexpected but genuinely eye-pleasing style that mostly hits all the right notes and will satisfy any die-hard fan of Konami’s series or retro gaming generally.

For those who want an easy-to-play, entertaining and Contra-like action game, Wild Dogs feels like a natural choice. The game is as classic as it gets, both in appearance and game mechanics. It gets a bit monotonous over time, and after a few hours of playing the game, it is an action experience that may not be particularly memorable. The disadvantages that come with this type of game are quickly put aside when you hold the X button and realize how simple and fun it is to shoot your way through the courses. For fans of this type of action game, Wild Dogs is an easy pick.
