Ratings and reviews

I was thrilled that a new Contra games was being made... controller compatible, too! They needn't have bothered. When the tutorial takes over a half hour to do in order to deal with all the silliness about leveling weapons and other microtransaction related stuff? Yeah, that means you have made this WAY more complicated than it needs to be. The limited range of the weapons is also pretty stupid. If I can't shoot across the whole screen with a bullet, the gameplay flows poorly.

Imagine a beautiful, tasty looking muffin. It's a heaven to behold. And when you take a bite, at first it's wonderful. But something is wrong. Something just isn't right. You spit it out to reveal that it's full of TOENAIL CLIPPINGS! Tedious tutorials, p2w, and it takes longer to go through the character minutiae than it does to play a level. Very ambitious, but in the end you have to pay for everything. And the overcomplicated character development system takes away from the Contra experience.

Im two weeks into this game, so far, it has been great. The nostalgia is on point, and its easy to control. I won't say its "pay2win", but after a certain point, leveling slows waaay waaaay down. EXP amount could raise slightly with level, or energy costs for raids could only cost half energy, rather than the same amount - that would be a good update. An offline mode would be appreciated as well. But , for many reasons, I'm loving the game regardless.
