Contra Returns for Negative User Reviews
✓ Awful, Convoluted, TiresomeOne of the main aspects of the original game that made it so amusing was the fact that it was simple. It wasn’t easy, but it was simple. This game, however, makes it difficult to play through. You have to constantly “raid” previous stages in order to “level up” in order to play the next stage in the story. Exp is hard to come by, so you have to purchase “diamonds” with real cash to replenish your energy. The levels themselves are fun. But all the extra nonsense makes this game just awful. I was excited to see a Contra title in the App Store. But to be honest, this game is a real piece of garbage..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Needs a real classic modeI saw the ad and got excited since my old NES where I had contra stopped working. A big childhood game of mine. First impressions were okay. I didn’t really care for the new game, just wanted to go straight to classic mode but to play the classic version or what they call one life mode, you have to go through the tutorial and some new levels to unlock it. Once you unlock it, you only have 5 tries. Worst part, it’s not even close to the classic version. Completely different levels and gameplay. I was just hoping it would have the original levels, controls, and graphics..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Issues aheadBeen playing for a couple of weeks and was fun to play decent bonuses. Till yesterday an now it wont log me in.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Shockingly disappointed 😔To be as honest as possible I love the original game and still have it on the console and when I first saw the game I was thrilled. Now I’ve been on it for 123 days now and I’m very disappointed. I have spend quite a bit of money to support the game thinking it would help me out as well. But im literally getting no where!!! And above all I am nowhere near my competitors and seem to be losing more than winning…..let’s just say that spending anymore on this game is not worth the level of fun and believe me I’ve spent way more on games that gave more and treat paying customers with real deals!!!.Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ Players pay far too much for anythingI would like the game if nearly everything needs to be paid for. I have dropped about $100 on this game and pretty much barely scratched the tip of its features. Characters, weapons, pets and some of the challenges, you need to pay for. Almost all other games don’t demand this much money from the consumer and offer so much more in terms of content. Even if you drop a lot of money, there’s STILL no guarantee that you’ll get what you want. This is a poor example of how greedy companies monetize their game. They’ll end up killing their game because free players will have no chance. People who occasionally pay will still have no chance, and the people who drop thousands will be the only ones left. Did I mention that you can spend over a thousand dollars getting the dragons breath gun? Yup, that’s how this game is played. Spending your money gambling for a chance of getting items you need. I don’t see this game lasting for a long time. Gacha tends to not do well in the west. It seems the developers milked all the prior countries before moving here. I’m sorely disappointed in this game. If you value your wallet, I’d suggest finding something else..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Great game but developers don’t careIt’s a Altoona great game but the main issue is that a lot of hackers in the game like the contra team where they are able to use rapid fire in all guns no reloading and speed hacking people have reported these players to the game developers which it clearly states that they will banned these players but nope. They only care about money money money and it’s ridiculous that these prices are off the roof no one can afford all of the items plus I know and payed with the hackers and they try to deny it but like what I’ve said the developers don’t care at all the team is called (Contra) the whole team is all hackers plus people who really play actually plays without using hacks apk and using third party’s to get stuff in order to win.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Gets boring p2wPvp is garbage Very repetitive Pay to win is obvious when in arena Just becomes boring to always repeat the same quests every day.Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ Every thing paidEvery thing is paid $49.99,$10.99,$99.99 Etc....Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Poor customer serviceVery poor customer service, Devs messed up one of the offers and to fix it took away the items players have brought, then to top it off never gave back any resources we’ve spent on upgrading those guns. Definitely would not recommend to play a game with such a poor handling things on developers end..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Old school contra meets new school scamGame is very similar to old school Contra. Except it's a pay to play platform. Then you get to the good stuff. Like the gambling roulette type wheel to always get the good stuff on the last spin. Or the latest bait and switch. They offered a pack that looked like a great deal. Then they claim that it was a display error and are now repossessing the items and any upgrades that were done with the purchase. Oh this review will probably be deleted like every other negative review. But I have to try and warn people about the shady tactics this company uses. You make a purchase and its final. They offer a item and you purchase that item then they realize it was too good of an offer and they can take it back..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ DisappointingTo start , my 2 star rating is solely due to the nostalgia. The game is overly complex , too much advertising , misleading sales , pay to win and pay some more. There is too much to do , writing is too small to read or understand everything, and the least attractive portion of the game for me is all the bloated unnecessary materials for upgrading every facet of the game. My breaking point was when I received "gifts" that can only be used and activated with VIP access. Lastly , I received a "diamond voucher" good for 100 diamonds. I should be able to use it wherever i want provided the loot is not behing a paywall , but when i went to purchase an upgrade for my super weapon the game said my 100 Diamond voucher was not enough to pay the 100 diamond price , instead , it referred me to the top up screen to purchase more diamonds... congratulations , you ruined one of the greatest game sagas of all time. Deleting the game and do NOT recommend downloading this game unless you are a high end card bender..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Why cant i equip the skin i bought?Under materials in the backpack menu it says the skin is a lightspeed activation card. If Its not a skin then why is it labeled skin? And what am i even supposed to do with the lightspeed activation card??? It doesnt let you do anything with it. So what exactly did i buy? Just the coins? If i would've known i wasnt getting a skin i wouldve never bought it. I dont care for the coins, i can earn those. That is very misleading. If its just a card just label it a “card” not a skin. On top of that its not even usable. What was that for???.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Loading problemsWhen the game works it’s great and a lot of fun. However, every time it freezes after pressing start. Even after closing out the app the music continues to play and I have to restart it and close it out again before it fixes and then restart the app a third time to get it to actually load so I can play it. If they fix this issue I’ll change my review. This has actually become worse. Now I don’t have to start it a third time but every single time I want to play I have to close the app and restart it. This last time the start button wouldn’t even load. Get your act together because this is ridiculous. Also, the controller input has become worse. At first I had no problems. Now often I’ll be trying to jump forward and it will move backwards,etc. Get rid of the voice for the npc minion Ledder ASAP. It’s beyond awful. Hire a new voice actor and re-record all of his lines. I have dropped my review to one star just because of that. Fire the actor and whoever was responsible for hiring him..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Facebook Authorization issueI’ve been playing it from almost a month. Today I accidentally got logged out of facebook and now it won’t let me login. I get error on fb page that the app is not active and developers are aware of this issue. Please fix it..Version: 1.29.100.1709
✓ GarbageStandard freemium game. Takes about 5 minutes to load. There is no fun here.Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Login ProblemWas my favourite phone game until the update haven’t been able to login since just says network error! 😩.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Developers rob playersGame has great potential but the team had ruined it. Do not waste money on this game because the dev team will never allow you to win the good items. Players can spend money to buy in game currency or anything to play gatcha, if players loose, no issue, if players win the big price, they will say it was their mistake and players were not suppose to win; they will take back the items and the purchased currency they sold to players but keep the money. Dev team would tell players to contact Apple for refund but not warrantee players can get refund successfully. In other to get away with the ‘robbery’, the team would compensate players with some low value marterials and trash gatcha boxes(nothing great or desirable items) New players can join for fun and experience but never ever make any purchase in this game..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Contra does not ReturnGreat way to desecrate an old classic. Maybe hire some testers before you publish a game? Especially one with such a legacy. Horrible story, appalling “acting”, geez your subtitles don’t even match the VO; but jazz it up with IGP and flashy menu’s because THAT’S what made the original great?? Let’s not even talk about the gameplay that utterly pales in comparison to the original 30+ year old game. Did you actually have a writer/producer/director or it it just a bunch of freshman winging it after procuring IP rights? Because it certainly looks, sounds, feels and plays like the latter. No. Contra certainly does not “return”. Maybe call the game something else - that way you can avoid creating an expectation this 3GB hunk-of-junk clearly cannot live up to..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ QUESTIONS TO MAKERS OF THIS GAME…DO YOU PLAN TO MAKE THIS GAME AVAILABLE FOR WIRELESS GAME CONTROLLER!? REGARDS.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Fun for 2 days, aggressive pinch to spendGame does so many things right. It is fun, exciting, incorporates contra’s historical heroes/villains, and has high production values. Very promising…. However, after two days of playing the game I can already experience the game progression squeezing me to pay. The game’s pace slows considerably, and access to the “fun” slows abruptly within 2 days. I don't mind paying, but i do NOT like it when a game “pinches” me so hard to spend just so that i can progress. I would have been happy to hand over $20 to $50, but do not twist my arm so early. Get me engaged more..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ P2PDevs are greedy so if you are F2P player then don’t even bother with this game..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ Lost my game onMy game was saved on “area hunter” server. I wanted to play my game again tonight so I went back on the server to start game and to realized I lost everything!.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ App no longer available in my countrySeriously? Where’s my refund?.Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ Wait for energy.My day 1 experience. Play a few levels, wait for energy. Join a clan, did all the clan content I could, go offline while waiting for energy, get kicked from the clan because I couldn’t do anything with no energy that will make me progress in the game. Try to join another clan, can’t, have to wait 24 hours to join another one. Use the day 1 energy event to get more energy. Clicked raid 10x. The little energy I had is used in less than 10 seconds. Waiting for energy. This is one of those games where you have to be a wallet warrior before you can experience the game..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Still NothingTwice I’ve had purchased items not appear and twice developers confirmed the purchase and lack of items. Then they do absolutely nothing and state an escalation team or some other group needs to act. My advice is just don’t give these people real money and expect to lose some diamonds every so often. And expect this happens to a lot of users and that the social environ will be shady. Like every legion gets to a point where the chiefs keep donations, stop opening/upgrading the shop, and never provide any perks. Probably trying to recomp what the contra devs took from them..Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ Plays well, serious flawsThe game plays well, sounds and graphics very good. There absolutely must be an option for users to remap controller buttons. Right now, the right stick on an Xbox controller controls firing and aiming, which is great. But jumping while firing is difficult since the fire button can’t be reached easily while using the right stick to fire. We need to remap the fire buttons to the triggers. Also, micro transactions will probably swallow this great franchise alive. Another typical roll the dice game where you gamble for rewards using a typical energy system designed to bleed players by frustrating them into paying money. Disappointed..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Play at own riskWhen I saw this game I was really excited. It started out fun but pop up adds offering you small boost we’re expected. Unfortunately I bought the Browny Character unlock with the Iron Tank skin upgrade. This was during a trial unlock of Browny. Neither showed up in my inventory. I did verify with my credit card company I was charged. The customer support for this game is non existent. It just loops into an automated response not that is disguised as a live chat. I don’t even want a refund just my items… but no response from customer support or Facebook site.. this is appears to be a smash and grab for money with no back end support for the app...Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Awful gameAbsolutely awful! tricks u in every part saved over 4000 gems to try get a skin took it all on silly stuff I already had I tried to persevere with it for months! Just take take take! I hope this game gets deleted asap!.Version: 1.29.100.1709
✓ DreadfulIf you like loading screens, poorly explained mechanics, needing no skill and paying to win - this is the game for you. The game needs to download then unpack 3gb before you can play, even on fibre it took forever. You then get a series of 10 second gameplay snippets that require no skill and about 20 more loading screens. Awful butchery of the original, avoid..Version: 1.29.100.1709
✓ Not worth spending moneyNot many ways to earn exp, limited mission. If I buy contra pass, I do not see benefits. Not sure if players who buy contra pass will even reach level 55. Very hard to earn cp to level up. Spending money to buy weapons or skins is confusing, we get fragments for everything, not worth to spend money. I don’t mind spending money to buy skins or weapons, but it should be worth spending a dime. This game will die soon, since everything is for money here. They need to fix PvP games based on time zones..Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ So grindy not much energyThe game is good but with the energy you can’t do much after depleting all your energy. Co-op is bad especially the underwater. It will match you randomly but your partner will just stand around and watch you do everything 🤷♂️🤷♂️. You guys should implement penalty for that 🤷♂️🤷♂️..Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ Pay to play..I LOVED classic Nintendo contra first of all! I had very high hopes for this game. Though the game introduced SO MUCH information in the first few chapters I was able to look past it hoping that I wouldn’t have to start paying for a little while. I played for one day. The next day I didn’t have enough stamina / firepower to continue without paying. I upgraded everything I could to get enough. The levels are short but well done. The classic contra feel is there with the same sound effects / visuals from the original. I just needed a few more days of play to be hooked enough to pay or even just make the game $5, or $10 so I could play the entire thing. Good try guys!.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Soulless money grabUtter trash. Not contra at all. Just an excuse to make an arcade machine mixed with gambling and pay to win. Gameplay mechanics driven by transactions, not actual gameplay. And you aren’t sorry about it. That is the remit set by Konami. Can’t wait until you allow me to buy NFT’s through it and improve the gameplay because blockchain!!!! /this is sarcasm btw..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ HmmNot liking the fact that now you have to be on wifi as when first downloaded you can use your data also to get more information like the daily rewards, upgrades on weapons etc. if there’s a glitch then please fix this. This is a good game, but there is problems lately. Many thanks..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ The great scam of Jan 28, 2022See all the 1 star reviews? See tons of paying players leaving the game? The developer done messed up, offered something for money (they made their own mistake there), tons of people bought it, they removed those items and replaced it with “compensation”, and then suggested everyone unhappy with the compensation seek refunds. This isn’t even the first time they pulled similar shenanigans, but certainly the most egregious. The worst is not that they made a mistake, it’s the handling of it in the aftermath, thinking they can smooth it over with some piddling rewards compared to what I actually purchased with real money. Stay away or stay f2p, don’t give the defrauders a dime.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Pay To Win Garbage…Yet another game ruined by sheer greed , this game is pretty much just pay to win events and to unlock golden weapons … seriously don’t even waste your time downloading this..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ OverpricedAll the items for heroes unlock are overpriced. One S-tier hero could cost you 10,000 diamonds or $100. The game is also unbalanced and has a pay-to-win style. If you are broke, you will not go far as you need high-tier hero to fight in higher rank which is highly unfair. It’s lost all the fun it should have. It should have been a balance game where people play to kill time not a game where people could lose $100 of dollars to and still get highly stressed over with. 2 stars for effort, designers and programmers..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ This game hasn’t been working for the past 2 days..Not sure what’s going on with this game but it keeps saying “Please login in 30 mins”, “Please login in 29 mins” etc and keeps looping. There’s no support to contact about this and the Twitter profile doesn’t seem to respond back..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Origin is opOrigin got 4 abilities 2 are shots that stun u and homing to u also leaving a teleport for u to use the other one is that u teleport to ur enemy well on a phase shift doing tons of damage the other other ability teleporting u to the enemy again doing damage well u can’t move that is over powered can u guys balance it nerf it is to strong.Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ Not Support ControllerNot Support Controller !!!.Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ BuggedThere has been so many bugs in the game recently and people are tired seeing major things in the game not working as intended. It seems like they don’t quality test updates before they come out. The new battle pass just came out but bugged and glitched. Somehow it also bugged the daily missions and rewards. Also for the past two weeks, people couldn’t log in, something that isn’t supposed to be there is there (you can’t interact with it, it’s just there), a major function for equipment upgrades was bugged from its release, etc. It is a fun game, just not with all these issues and bugs. Especially for people who pay for the game, it seems like a waste if everything just stopped working. If there isn’t a solution to major things like this the potential of this great game idea is just thrashed..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Keeps crashingJust downloaded this and after it loads up it just crashes taking me back to my phone screen.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Wasted PotentialLike your classic games to have at least 3 different in-game currencies? Then this one is for you! Seriously, bummed out by this game. All the potential to simply remake a classic, but nope, gotta turn it into a cash grab (which ironically is unlikely to grab any cash from anyone)..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ SCAM: DO NOT INSTALLProxima Beta PTE.Limited is well known for scams, just Google “Proxima Beta Scam” and you’ll see. I was just recently charged for an in-app purchase I did not make. I asked the developer to delete my account and was told: “due to the reason you provide us we will not be able to delete your account.” SERIOUSLY?! Since when does the developer get to decide whether or not a user deletes their account or not. I also revoked my consent to their user agreement and privacy policy and was informed: “We do not promise that we can delete your account…” SERIOUSLY?! That just tells you how much of a scummy developer they and their entire purpose is to scam their user base with micro-transactions that most users won’t realize. Mine was an unauthorized charge of $1.57. It’s small enough that most people won’t blink an eye at, but it seems they then will make the charge regularly. DO NOT INSTALL..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Bad controls, bad visuals, unethical micro transactionsI guess my first lengthy review was pulled. Here is the short version: unethical micro transactions that do very little to explain how they will scam you out of money. You want that character that looks like it costs almost $100 in diamonds? Well, over $200 won’t even come close to getting you that one… VIP points are needed and $100 gets you less than the $70, which gets you 5950 out of the 400,000 you need…. I take back everything I have said about a claim I made about a few other freemium games I have played, THIS is the most blatant and unethical one I have ever played. ——— The controls are terrible as they have terrible response to touch input. Find myself not shooting, shooting in the wrong direction, and a myriad of other things frequently. The PvP is awful as the screen is tiny and with so much going on, you cannot see if you are even shooting in the right direction, or shooting at all half the time. PvP is determined by whose controller works, not skill. Someone have a bad connection? You are screwed either way. ——Actually, now that I think about it, they probably have found a way to monetize the controls…. They have monetized everything else in this game..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ 100$ in since launch, how is it?Honestly, fun game especially if you have people to play with. But the support on problems is non existent, just a AI that spews unhelpful answers at you, along with the usual overpriced, horrid luck gachas. It’s simply 1star cause there’s no support. Without it the game will die in a couple years, fun for now, other wise don’t bother..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Good game but money hungry!This game is a big money grab!!! the company is greedy and will nickle and dime you anyway they can. The lottery system of winning heros and weapons isn't really a lottery system, it's more a system of spend more diamonds and more money and frequently require max spending to unlock the hero or the weapon. I do have to say they did do a great job on graphics and smooth interplay and really deep ecosystem, it's almost too complex. gone are the days of simple shooting and jumping around, you'll have to learn an entire new operating system to squeeze the most out of this game.Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ Mostly p2wYour f2p experience won’t be that great, I’d say you need to spend at least 200 US dollars to have a decent time. (I have) Various bugs cause issues, devs do fix them after about 2-3 weeks so it’s not so bad. Skip this if you don’t have money, the North American version of this game is severe lacking in content (no seasonal skins) translation issues, etc..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ Charges with items that I did not buy.I got scammed at least 3 times with extra charges on top of items that I bought. For example, I bought Gun A and that was charged to my bill. That is fair. But they sent me another bill for Gun B after, and I never bought that item. 1 out of 3 extra charges got refunded but not the other 2. I deleted this app right away..Version: 1.29.100.1709
✓ Not compatible after update as guest???I’ve been playing this game day in day out and after 1 update and deleting personal items for the game it says not compatible...I play as guest and it doesn’t work why is this???? Will this be fixed or what or should I delete my game after all my hard work playing???!!!!!.Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ DisappointedThe classic game used to have a soul. Now all I see is greed and life time of grinding. Why is there PVP in pay to win game?.Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Not ContraContra isn’t a pay to win game. This is. Not sure why they called it Contra Returns..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ NOTHING MORE THAN A SCAM & FRAUDThe fact that the developers of this game can’t accept their own mistake of allowing people an offer of 1199 Golden Falcon Keys for 1199 diamonds, which was made available for everyone to purchase for 14+ hours, choose to take back the weapons and any items that people had won from that Limited Time Draw and give us a compensation that isn’t really worth having instead of leaving it as it is, just goes to show how much of a BIG SCAM AND FRAUD Contra Returns is. Doing this is going to hurt you really bad when players start quitting the game because of this fiasco!! Also I don’t know why you removed my previous review about this game, that tells me how shady you guys really are!!.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Cashgrab, ripe for Apple Arcade treatmentIt’s the usual… beloved old game series, utterly ruined by endless transactions, complicated menu systems leading to those transactions, blah blah a million ways to get you to needlessly spend money. I wish this model didn’t work, but it clearly does for enough of the population. The underlying game is actually quite good. Hardly classic Contra but does a fair impression. Really hoping Apple gets this on Arcade and strips out all the micro transaction nonsense, like it did with some other games including Castlevania, then it might be fun..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Awful awful awful gameNothing resembles the good old Contra. Least of all the “pay to play” nature of this abomination which more resembles a casino than a game. Dreadful soulless addiction inducing money grabbing creation. You can’t just simply play. You’re forced go through different flashy screens, ridiculous obscure game modes, roulettes, collect 5 types of digital currency, and buy buy buy. Deleting to never hope to see it again..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Game designers ruined ContraCopy paste from all other gacha mobile games where you have to pay thousands of dollars for good content. Disgusting system design. Truly disappointing..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Decent gameSeems alright, there is pretty much always something to do. Unfortunately the levels are beyond easy, you just run through holding down shoot. There is a challenge mode which took me a couple of turns but that’s it, but the best thing is the multiplayer. Unfortunately unless you want to play ranked you best be above VIP 5 at least because if you bring the normal players you unlock without paying (you can’t even get Lucia zero until VIP5) you’re just going to get wrecked. This is apparently “balanced” play as well, yeah your main weapons maybe balanced but the characters are not, at allll. Shame really, I bought a couple of packs but the amount the game expects for the top charactera, really not worth it..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Fun with exceptionsYes, it’s Contra and some of it harkens back to the original console game but it’s totally a 21st century pay for play mobile game but… Yes, there are in-app purchases that you can easily dump tons of money into to get the best of everything faster but there’s also a ton of variety to play around with but progress and updating weapons and characters will take progressively longer and longer the higher rank you achieve. There is some side-scrolling action but it’s limited so don’t expect to bang through 4 full levels in one sitting. This is more like a builder game where you constantly have to unlock unlock unlock. One nice thing is in this game, no one can attack you (particularly when offline) and steal all your hard-earned resources. Been playing for 100 days without spending $ so far and mostly it’s… get up in the morning, play today’s missions, and then get on with the rest of my day. It’s a nice distraction if you don’t obsess about it and don’t feel the need to keep up with the Jones..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ Pay to win gameThis game really had some potential however it’s ruined with micro transactions, if u don’t have the best gear, you’ll be screwed over. Not to mention PvP is absolutely broken, whoever has the best gun with the best character will always win, basically whoever spent the most money..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Took 10 minutes to even start playingTerrible UX, uninstalled immediately.Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Price does compromise QualityI played couple missions and I had enough I liked: Music; Graphic. I dislike: Where no on time purchase; Selling items in shop; Speaking portraits; Poor animation; Poor scenario; Game was made to generate cash instead to revive original game with updated graphic and good features. I do buy the games but then I see is worth. This is trash list..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Horrible developerSpent tons of money on the app…had items before their pricing mistake…took back those items and more…customer service lol they don’t even respond or care…apple customer service for refund sorry can’t give it to you because developer hasn’t said that they had a price issue in the app and to allow people a refund. Shady developer I wouldn’t spend a dime on this game. Customer service is a joke. Cut and paste response to all the complaints On here. Email or use the in app ticketing process they don’t know anything they ask for you to prove it? How about you give me a log of all my items so I can prove it! Or better yet do your jobs better and make sure you don’t steal items that people spent their hard earned money on like you did to me and others. 100% developer won’t give a genuine response to this message!.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ 3v3 is a jokeFor as much as I like to win, it gets pretty dumb when 3 players with S graded weapon are matched up against 3 players with C weapons. It not only happened once, but 3x in a row, and I had to stop to write this review. Though ranked match can be somewhat balanced, I have been matched with a player at lvl 80 while I was lvl 45-50. Paid heroes will surely destroy you as they do way more damage than the free ones. I’ve managed to get to Platinum I and had players just letting me kill them to lose ranking to get some easy wins against lower lvl players. Another thing that annoyed me was that I started the Tournament by mistake and wasn’t able to cancel (couldn’t play at the time), so I just got a loss and had to wait for the following day. The game really banks on nostalgia, which is the reason why I played it, but as a P2W I don’t really see myself sticking to this game. Will just be one of those, spend money on a hero and the next month there a much better one. No, thank you. Games need to find better ways to hook player other than P2W models..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Fraudulent companyThis company does not think twice about removing items bought in-game no matter what consequence it causes the purchaser. Recently they sold an item that had “too many keys”…people bought them and used them to get random prizes, then spent more on packs in order to upgrade these items also restructured weapon arsenals to accommodate said weapons only to be told they would all be removed days later. This effectively ruined the game play for thousands of paying players. A couple days later they also “gave too many” free items in another event and also rolled those back once more. They are a fraudulent company that should be avoided in this game and any others they manage/own..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Game is not even startingJust says restart your device everytime i try to play.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ You CAN have fun… at firstFun in the beginning. Then you realize the only way to keep up is spending a ton of money. Meaningful progression is lost after a few hours when the game basically forces you to make purchases. If you don’t spend you’ll fall way behind in “firepower” which is basically just your overall strength. Rather than building bases for some form of kingdom power, you’re building your soldier using every gatcha mechanic in the book. It’s shameless cash grab and it’s really depressing to see how far the art of gaming has fallen. Shallow mechanics with a moving goal post and using gambling mechanics to addict players. Edit: Dropped to one star after terrible developer response. Edit2: how do these developers think that repeating the same message without addressing a single concern is helping them? It only proves they’re corrupt..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Needs major optimization,Can't play atm due to battery fever and laggy gameplay, otherwise nice game..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ PTWVery classic pay to win game. You can find lots of similar games like this, where you buy weapons, buy upgrades shoot stuffs….. And if you cannot finish the level it is because you don’t have enough upgrades, not that you don’t have good skills. Because there’s a time limit…… you got better gear you can pass the level. Now the game mechanic is rather a grinding festival, instead of gameplay itself. And Arena is more like a “show off your gear” event, see how much money you put in. The developer pushes you so hard to spend real money, and this is where I get upset. I simply cannot enjoy a game like this. . Update: because there is energy and tickets for playing games, the amount of the games you can play is very limited. The ultimate tournament is a lot of fun, but you only get to play once per day…WTF hahaha! And after spending a little bit money and careful thoughts, you need at least $30 to actually enjoy this game. So…… Don’t you guys have money?(big ironic face) . Update 2: I rate it 1 star now, because every time I login, I have to close 5 ads pop ups!!!.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Could be good but so buggyThis could be a good game but it’s so buggy. Doesn’t register half the items and you find yourself logging in and out repeatedly so things work. It’s a shame really.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Pay to playFor anyone at my age with so much of good memory this version of the game killed it all. 1. The stamina is high limiting the play time and connection of it to vip which then ask you to buy is one the worst. 2. Everything specially the level up any good items depend on money else you have to wait for something half decent as paid material to drop. 3. If you don’t pay and spend money forget pvp it is a realm for paid players which is boring. If I was the developer I wouldn’t do this I would interface fair play system woo way less money trap remember more we spend time in game more we spend money look at games like call of duty mobile no matter if I buy or not I still win and nothing stop me to play meantime yes I can buy extra. Thank you to bring the old memories but you failed to keep us playing..Version: 1.29.100.1709
✓ ContraIt’s a dead game. Cannot logging “Network error”. I think they switch off their server.Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ UninstalledWas looking forward to it but no thanks you spoilt it.Version: 1.29.815273
✓ It was fun for a while, level 74 is my limitWhen you reach level 25 you can only level up once maybe twice a day depending on how well you do. I’ve reach level 74 without spending a single dollar, it just took a while. Now it takes 2 or 3 days to level up unless you pay for the V.I.P upgrade which I’m not willing to do. Combat simulation scores hit on you without actually hitting you. PvP modes get boring because lack of different stages plus the experience points gained in PvP modes don’t really help with leveling up..Version: 1.29.83.8711
✓ A tencentNo wonder it has a roulette option inside the game lmao .It’s a tencent game .Uninstalled..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ The best example of what a side game should be.The contra universe is fun and it has a lot of style. This game does a great job of capturing that. Though a little slow paced for free players, it still has enough fun to keep you coming back 30 minutes a day. The base characters you get just by playing the game are great, and buying characters isn’t needed at all. The weapon system is a huge money pit, and is better off just enjoying the weapons you get, which are pretty good. As frequent as the ads are to buy things, when you realize how much you’d pay to get so little, you become less interested in spending even small amounts. It’s fun to play but there are a few things that can be done better. The auto aim will sometimes just not work at all. Coupled with terrible hit detection, it leads to some head scratching moments. When I say bad hit detection, I mean getting hit on a side of the screen you aren’t even on when the attack is made. It’s legendary just for that. TLDR: Horrible game to spend on, great to jump in a few minutes a day..Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ P2W for sure but….1-This is game p2w for sure like others but you need skills because game will match you player with similar strength. 2-They need to open way for medium spender player to F2Play by taking out energy functions which drags players so badly. 3-I know developers need supplies to keep going but putting a price on everything is like going to grocery store. Which is ridiculous bad. We players understand spend to unlock new characters or guns but you have spend for playing is out of game policy. 4- I recommended developer to remove energy function to open the road for Grinding for low - high spenders players. If not I will tell for sure the community will never grow. Mock my words Thank you.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ From a classic to a pay game.Is nothing bloody sacred with regard to re-releasing games? Both Tencent and Garena are dropping in pay to play and gambling games and Apple will be profiting well too. Game developers used to produce games at very little profit to themselves, for the love of producing a piece of art for their fans. This lot can go and stick their up themselves. Needless to say, uninstalled..Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Pay to win. Yet it is still not enough lol you gotta keep spendingIf your not prepared to spend a couple of hundreds of dollars on this game . You shouldn’t even waste your time . It’s was fun at first but you’ll never get any of the fun weapons if your not prepared to spend some money !!! Pretty greedy for them to base everything on gems . Yeah you can play for free . But you’ll play at a disadvantage. That is why I rate it one star because of the game predatory practices. Very unethical behavior and very glitchy systems . Overall it is a very disappointing experience. Update : I contacted them through their support line inside the app . It was just terrible . The game glitched and took my diamonds . For some reason even though I showed them the screenshots of all the proof it still had to get escalated . It’s been a weeek with no response on a simple fix . How you except your fan base to keep their loyalty towards your game and keep spending money on it when your not willing give them no support . Beyond disappointed at this point . Update : they have the worst customer service service ever !!! They’ll send your concern to the escalations department and never respond back after . Total scam game.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Over power heroesPlayer: I was playing thing game from the launch. Spent money as well. But they’re not fair match and everytime send overpower heroes. Introduced new overpower heroes like origin. And forced to buy by sending them to low level player too. Game pass: I believe that’ll be good if you try to use like CP (Call of duty) or UC (pubg) for game pass. Not worth to buy game pass everytime when new session comes in. After playing more than 1 year. I started hating this game. Not fair and over priced as per experience as per fact it’s not open world or 3D game..Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ Well...It’s not horrible, but it’s not epic either. If you actually enjoyed contra, you might like it, but I find that side scrolling games can get pretty boring if not done really well... and it’s mediocre tbh. I wouldn’t go out of my way to play it but it could be a fun casual game. Just not for me. I feel bad at whoever suggested this game go forward. If you want good side scrolling games, just play dungeon fighter on PC and it’s free and in has a real in-depth skill and equipment system and there’s tons of characters to choose from.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ 5min of endless loopIt’s been a great game apart from the network error and Endless loop of 5 min wait time before log in again over two days ago. I have guess accounts so can’t just delete and reinstall. Not that the Facebook and Apple account option would actually work either (5 min). Email was sent to support not even an auto respond. So not even sure if it’s gone through. Please help fix with an update or something? Ps Is it possible for this game to start up and operate on mobile phone signal as well. Can’t always get access to wifi..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ ContrA. MONEY RACKET. SHAMEFULGarbage….. WALLET WARRIOR CONTRA. 100000000 garbage weapons.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Pay2winIt’s definitely pay to win. I would like to see the developers actually address this rather then just copying and pasting a generic answer.Version: 1.29.85.8657
✓ 👎👎👎👎#Contrascam sells a pack for 14+ hours then takes it down says it’s an accident and they are gonna take all the weapons people got from a roulette style system to rip you off as much as possible and then decide what they are gonna refund you for the items they take away it was a total bait and switch fraud not to mention taking people legit items they earned cuz they couldn’t tell the difference befor there screw up just blown away !Put the damn pack up so every one can get it thank you for the awesome 6th month anniversary present you woulda been gods now you just look petty and greedy good bye contra returns boycott this company.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Has potential…I love these types of games but most of them are to bent on money than enjoyment. What I’m talking about is the requirements of this game. First, you need internet to play, which is not listed in the description. It seems like companies and developers are constantly making this feature just to get continuous revenue from ads. They call them “on-the-go games” and you can play them “anywhere”, but really, it’s anywhere that has WiFi. I want to be able to play on my own terms without very many restrictions like these. Especially the campaign. The Original Contra games were never like that, you could play them absolutely anywhere with no restrictions or cache. They didn’t require internet. There should be an offline mode where can play without internet, but you just don’t have as many playing options. Also, if you do play multiplayer, there should be an option to play with bots, so you can train while you’re offline and therefore, test your skills against real players when you have a WiFi signal. That would be great. Please add those and you’ll earn a loyal player..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ AVOID CASH GRAB SCAM!!!Terrible game that’s a glorified cash grab and purely pay to win, what was once an iconic classic arcade game now ruined by poor game design.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Cheating is insane in PvP.Just as last person said it doesn’t matter how well you play how much money you spend. And people spend 10k and up there are hacks and codes. U can get killed with one move have the same character and the same special move does almost no damage how??? No I am not complaining just because I lose. It’s crazy how you can have the same hero origin for a example and get absolutely destroyed by one special hit the other player with three of the same specials and they still live. I have been killed by two loves multiple times. Have jumped out of the move etc and still get bodied. It’s crazy how some players are invincible. Everytime I get close to top 5 in PvP I get unbeatable players. If it was skill I would be fine. Anyone can press one button tho. It’s whatever but definitely hackers are at it. Also don’t waste your money on upgrading. Wasted hundreds and get zero result. Somehow the First awakening for the gold am is better than the second. Second cost 30 dollars. Only choice. Game is fun but hacked or fixed. They will never change anything or care as it gets ppl to spend ridiculous amounts of money thinking it will level the field. It doesn’t. But hey just quit playing. It a total scam and had absolutely nothing to do with the original contra series. NOTHING. It’s either too hard or too easy. Skill does not come into play in story mode or any mode other than PvP. But in PvP it pay to win or cheat to win. It irritating that’s for sure..Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ Pretty awesome for a mobile P2W gameAs funny as this sounds, this game is probably the best Contra game since the 16-bit era. It’s nowhere near the difficulty level, but it’s fun and frantic nonetheless, and the performance is surprising good. There are a ton of various modes and constant updates and events. Additionally, the in-game currency is surprisingly abundant and can be earned pretty quickly even at higher player levels. It would be amazing if this game was converted into a proper console title because it’s far better than the last several decades worth of Contra titles, with tons of nostalgic throwbacks to the older titles, as well as other action games of the era. Definitely give it a go if you enjoy Contra or side-scrolling action games! Just jnownin advance that if you intend not to spend any money on this game, you WILL be paired consistently against those who do in the PvP mode, so it’s pretty lousy in that regard..Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ To complain teamHi developers, I played this game everyday when I got free time to do so. At first the game seems ok to level up but since I reached level 70 I noticed a increase in getting your level up it just so slow now which is now taking away the real fun of the game and is now making a game that have so much promised gets drag down the drain just as much others out there but you can still save the game and gamers from switching to other games and keep playing this game. I like to spend a bit on deals offer but this also has change from the last update and now I just don’t see why to make any purchase that doesn’t help players in anyway with the game progress or experience. Many thanks Anthony.Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ Mobile garbage gotchaThis game is ruined by the micro transactions, just wish some devs would just charge a one time purchase price instead of $100’s of dollars of micro transactions. But I guess devs just want to stuff their pockets and prey on young people who will pay for digital garbage they will lose one day.Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Add offline modeConsider in adding offline story mode, with save points and no timers..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Can’t start gameI was looking forward to this game. Unfortunately every log in option comes up with an error?.Version: 1.29.815273
✓ Heros nerfed!!Lance, Connor and Terminator were nerfed!!! Since nobody used Vera, this hero was buffed, in order to force us to buy more heros, that is not done!!! I will stop spending money and playing this game!!!.Version: 1.29.86.3638
✓ Paywall & PrivacyIm not supporting this: -Exaggerated micro transactions, -Energy system, -Privacy concerns..Version: 1.29.819016
✓ Gatcha game, play to winI grew up playing the original contra game, loved it. This version have hackers that have unlimited firepower, speed, accuracy and dexterity. Ranked matchs or PvP are rigged. I’ve paid my hard earned money to be cheated repeatedly, no real skill is needed to win. A or B hero’s can defeat the so called elite S heroes with ease makes no difference in class or rank. Your individual firepower doesn’t matter when battling other player or other modes like Void, city of ash ect. The time and money spent is just a waste, my firepower is currently over 900k and I lose to less experience or player with much less firepower and lower ranked heroes. The price of heroes and SS weapons are outrageous and not worth the expenses. It’s best to choose a game with a true balance of gameplay. I don’t usually give ratings or comments but I’ve spent the time and money. Don’t waste your energy on this scripted game..Version: 1.29.91.8859
✓ Incredible game but there is a bugI’ve been playing This game everyday now. However I have an issue after completing a mission say I get 3 stars. They don’t register when I’m back on the mission page. I have to restart the game then it shows I’ve got it and puts me onto the next mission. Would be 5 star if this is fixed..Version: 1.29.819016
