Wild Dogs Review (PlayStation 4)
For this Wild Dogs Review, where the world is under a frantic alien attack. Amidst the chaos and with the army virtually subdued, the deadliest and most inconsequential pair of specialists are called upon to do what must be done. Join the war-hunting aliens around the world in every way possible. A few days before the “Biolab Wars” protocol is activated by the army, Major Frank “Pumpkinhead” Williams and his partner Teddy are summoned to the front lines. Authorized to use all necessary methods, the pair will explode, run over, crush, and smear themselves in a lot of alien goo.

Summary
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.
