X8 Contra: Super Wall Storm is Out Now!
The world expands
The omnipotent AI Index rules over X8, and aims to expand its dominion outside its digital boundaries. In order to acquire more power, it self-trains absorbing other digital worlds – this time it was Contra.
Among millions of mindless replicas, a fraction of its playable characters retain their personalities. Known as “Glitches”, Index hunts them because it considers them errors that need to be fixed.
The Glitches’ mission is to stop Index from within before it’s too late: will you accept the challenge?

Get X8 Contra: Super Wall Storm now!
https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/46941/X8_Contra_Deluxe_Edition/
Bill and Lance Supreme Skins!
