A Closed Beta Test for Contra: Tournament has recently started, allowing players to experience and provide feedback on this upcoming new title.

The gameplay of Contra: Tournament follows the familiar battle royale convention, pitting up to 100 players against each other in a sprawling map. Upon dropping in with a thrilling rocket riding jump sequence, players will have to scavenge for weapons, armor, and supplies. The current only map available, Galuga Islands, already provides ample space for exploration, driving, and intense encounters with other players. Currently, the game only allows you to play in squads of 4, with no option of playing in solo or duo, but that’s probably going to change as the game develops.

Contra: Tournament introduces a roster of five characters, each with their own distinct active and passive abilities to differentiate them from each other. Series veterans Bill and Lance make a welcome appearance, alongside new additions like the cute Aleta and female fatale Lilia; and Browny, a combat robot featured in Contra: Hard Corps.

Contra: Tournament brings the iconic Contra series to the mobile battle royale genre with its smooth movement, solid gunplay, and impressive optimization, offering players a another take on the popular gaming formula. Despite being a test build, the game is surprisingly optimized, plus the map design and overall graphics are visually appealing.

How do you follow up a game that redefined its genre and was universally praised as a modern masterpiece? In Hades II, Supergiant Games has answered that impossible question with a resounding success. The original Hades perfected the rogue-lite formula with kickass combat, endless procedural mechanics, and clever, character-driven storytelling. Yet, incredibly, Hades II has managed to top every single aspect of the first game and made them better.

My 2025 Games of the Year

Better late than never! 2025 has been an absolute whirlwind for the industry. From the quiet, snowy peaks of the Yotei mountains to the chaotic, mud-caked battlefields of medieval Bohemia, this year has proven that whether it's a massive AAA sequel or a tight, experimental indie, the bar for "immersion" has been set higher than ever before.
