Farming or grinding is needed to a certain extent in order for the player to increase their firepower to be able to advance in the game. Many factors will increase the player’s firepower, from weapon upgrades, equipment upgrades, the hero capabilities, to the pet system and et cetera. Each stage has a recommended firepower value that indicates the difficulty. Each mode does offer rewards upon completion.Ĭontra: Return has a unique progress system that uses the term “firepower” to measure a player’s current progress and level. PvP is where the player will face competition from other players to fight to the top of the food chain. Arena is an automated PvP mode that simulates PvP based on firepower and chosen hero. Duo mode is where the player can team up with a friend or a random person and attempt to challenge a different set of stages. Challenge and Daily modes are stages which demand certain requirements that need to be achieved in order to proceed. The story mode is similar to the original Contra with new bosses and mobs introduced. The game has 6 game modes to choose from which includes Story, Challenge, Duo, PvP, Daily, and Arena. Bill Rizer will be given as a free hero upon completing tutorial while the rest of the heroes are either unlocked via using the in-game currency (Diamonds) or as a reward for progressing in story mode.

Each hero can be assigned 2 unique active skills and 3 passive skills that can be unlocked when the requirements have been achieved. Players can choose to deploy a different hero each game. Luckily, Contra: Return is not a remake neither a sequel to the original Contra, instead it inherits the essence from the original Contra and adds new elements such as PVP (yes, you read it right), Boss Battles, Daily Challenges, and many more new elements that make it an entirely new Contra experience. Many may be wondering, Is Contra: Return a remake? a sequel? or just another game that is trying to ride off the coattails of the original Contra. Contra: Return inherits the traditional gameplay from the original Contra, but at the same time adds a lot of new elements introduced to cater to the mobile gaming market. Konami and Tencent Games worked together and brought one of the most iconic side-scrolling shooter games to the mobile platform. Feels nostalgic isn’t it when you saw the codes above.
