I did not expect this from a Contra game! Pleasantly surprised!
Impressions - Contra: Tournament

Published on June 29, 2023 Review

Contra: Tournament is a third-person battle royale survival game designed for mobile devices. In this fresh but pleasantly surprising take on the Contra franchise, you and up to 100 players engage in a fierce battle to claim the title of the ultimate winner within a vast and sprawling map. 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.
