VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Operation Galuga isn't quite as successful as previous retro revivals, but it's darn close. It has everything you'd want in a Contra game, and in some cases more. The moment-to-moment action is terrific, level designs and boss battles are mostly great, character and weapon diversity provide high replay value, and customization options allow for an adventure as dangerous or approachable as you like. With a more interesting story, a less tedious progression model, and nicer artistic assets, it would enter that next tier of greatness. Even without those things, it's one of the better entries in the long-running run-and-gun series."
"Contra: Operation Galuga switches on the time machine and bags some 1980s action hero glory - a near-perfect slice of retro run and gun fun."
- Stuart Cullen, TechStomper
