Two-man independent development team Adam McLellan and Ricardo Chirino have announced that their latest title, Operation Hardcore, has successfully completed Early Access and is transitioning to full release.

Operation Hardcore is an action-packed 2D side-scrolling shooter inspired by classic twitchy action games of yesteryear, but with modern touches and conveniences.

Fight your way past enemies using a range of weapons; double-jump your way around obstacles and hazards; activate your traditional plasma-based shield to deflect enemy fire and drink some whiskey to slow time and increase damage (…at the expensive of mental clarity).

You’ll also be able to grab a friend for some friendly and/or competitive 2 player local co-op. Seems like online would be the way to go, but since this is retro I can get behind the local only.

Operation Hardcore is available for Windows via Steam at a price of $5.99 USD. The game will enter full release with a launch discount of 25% off the base game and OST, and 35% off the deluxe edition.
