Contra: Operation Galuga is the latest modern run-and-gun action game in Konami’s legendary Contra franchise, developed by WayForward. It reimagines classic side-scrolling combat with updated visuals, new enemies, intense boss fights, and explosive co-op play while preserving the chaotic blazing action the series is known for. Players take elite commandos like Bill Rizer and Lance Bean through eight dynamic stages filled with alien threats, rapid enemy waves, and stage-specific hazards.
Officially, the game is available on Windows PC, consoles (PS4/PS5, Xbox, Switch); there’s no native macOS build listed by the publisher “Contra: Operation Galuga.” However, Mac players can run it using Windows compatibility tools like CrossOver/Wine, where users report successful installs and smooth performance on macOS (Intel & Apple Silicon) with such wrappers. It’s also playable via cloud gaming services (e.g., Shadow PC, airgpu, CloudDeck), which stream the Windows version to your Mac through a browser or app.
Whether you’re chasing nostalgic thrill or modernized run-and-gun intensity, Contra: Operation Galuga blends old-school roots with new mechanics for a fast-paced arcade blast.
