About Operation Hardcore
Operation Hardcore is a 2D side-scrolling shooter set during an alien invasion of Earth in 1999. You play as one of four characters and fight through 12 levels, using weapons and abilities to get past enemies, obstacles and hazards.
Fight and move
You can double-jump over obstacles and hazards, and use a plasma-based shield to deflect enemy fire. Drinking whiskey slows time and increases your damage, at the expense of mental clarity. A jetpack lets you take to the air in forced-scrolling challenges, and analog controls support precise 360-degree aiming.
Levels and upgrades
You collect coins to buy items, weapons and upgrades between levels. Meet or beat a level's par time to earn a Badass Rank. The game includes multiple difficulty settings, upgrade paths and secret areas, as well as achievements and unlockables.
Local co-op
Two players can play local co-op, either cooperatively or competitively.
Key features
- 12 levels
- 4 playable characters
- Modern sound design and an electronic soundtrack by Snug
- Particle, atmospheric and lighting effects
