This is more an overview of Super Contra X than the hack/translation done on it, as that's just a title screen hack and looks fine. The game itself seems like a bootleg that uses some of the sprites from the original Contra (especially the main character sprite) with new background graphics and new monsters.

The bigger problem is, this isn't a hack of the original Contra, instead, they seem to have developed their own engine which is really terrible. Your hitbox is massively larger than your sprite, often enemies or mines will kill when you're not even close to them. You get the same weapons as in the original Contra but they seem more sluggish than usual and due to terrible sprite collision only hit what you want them to hit from time to time.

The game is pretty long, 8 levels, with most of the gunning & running in two sections and a boss fight (which themselves are comparably easy). There's one shmup level early on and one where the screen is scrolling.

While it's long and incredibly difficult due to the poor controls and collision, it's also pretty repetitive and not much fun. Can't recommend playing this, there are far better game on the NES.
