"Neon Hardcorps is a fast paced top down action shooter, inspired by games such as Contra, Metal Slug, Super Turrican, Cybernator, Realm and Doom Troopers. "

So if this is name-dropping a bunch of classic side-scrolling run & guns (where Contra admittedly does pull a lot of viewpoint shennanigans), why is this game a top-down shooter ?

It doesn't look too bad, but now I do realize I really want Contra: Hard Corps instead.

Received and thanks!
