Contra Returns 12+

My excitement for this game quickly vanished when I discovered it is a pay to play Gacha game. After only a couple days of playing, the gameplay has slowed enough that I can only play for about 5 minutes before running out of stamina. So that is what I am left with, playing for 5 minutes a day or paying to play more. Very disappointing. The basic gameplay had promise, but they added way too much stuff and it is so complex and confusing I don’t even know what the value of things are or what I should be trying to do. They are constantly throwing things at you to spend money. Just sell the game for like $10 or something and let me play it when I want without having to spend money everyday.

Update: After playing for another week, more content has opened up that allows for a player to get by without spending money. Much of the pvp content will be out of reach as time goes on, without spending, but for the FTP players out there, if you don’t mind having your leveling slowed it can be a fun game.

Better guides are definitely needed. There is a bunch of stuff I still don’t understand and there is no place to look up what to do.

They always have limited time sales, but it doesn’t mean a thing when a week later they decide they didn’t mean to have the items you bought at the price they advertised so they decide to take away the items and their compensation for it doesn’t even come close to the $ you paid. In short, its a bait & switch scam.
Also be warned if other players ‘allegedly’ exploit a bug, all accounts on that server will be rolled back to a level the devs deem fair, nevermind that you didn’t know of the bug let alone take advantage of it yourself and nevermind all the hardwork and money you spent on raising your stats and items in your inventory, they will be removed at the devs will with no recourse or compensation offered. Again, this company lets the players pay and play then take back whatever they want whenever they want from a players account and rollback all players on a server to what they deem to be a fair level.
The game play is loaded with tons of bugs, some being game breakers. Players getting stuck in an animation loops during a stage, the constant dropping of bluetooth controllers during play, rewards not being rewarded and on and on. Thats on top of the God awful voice acting and the script, some stages have the voice acting some don’t and almost all of it doesn’t even match the subtitles. I can really go on and on but as a level 11 VIP please don’t become me and stay away from these dishonest developers and their hot mound of garbage.

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.
