A disappointing Contra Legacy of War 3D spin-off. Stiff handling, wonky camera, abandonment of classic run and gun. With Contra Adventure, one of Konami's worst 3D attempts, easily forgotten.

Collector interest

Konami's failed 3D spin-off of the Contra franchise, Legacy of War drops the classic run-and-gun for a clumsy isometric view (rigid camera, stiff handling), counted among the series' worst 3D detours. Loose and complete copies stay cheap given how disliked it is, with only sealed NTSC-U climbing, through the scarcity of a title few kept shrink-wrapped.
