It should be mentioned that this game has made bold and innovative attempts on the basis of maintaining the original core gameplay of Contra. Whether it is the improvement of the visual effect or the delicate polishing of the sense of operation, it makes people feel the production team's respect for the classics and the courage to innovate. On the screen, the new work adopts a more refined pixel style, combined with modern light and shadow technology, which not only reproduces the classic retro feeling, but also loses the sense of modernity, bringing players a double visual enjoyment.

In terms of level design, the new Contra continues the series' usual high level of challenge. Each level has a different theme and style, from forests to ruins, from underground mazes to exotic planets, and the variety and detail of the settings reflect the ingenuity of the designers. At the same time, the variety of enemies in the game is also quite rich, each enemy not only has its own unique attack pattern, but also has a certain intelligence, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of the game, but also improves the player's gaming experience.

When it comes to character skills, the new Contra has also put a lot of effort into this regard. In addition to the traditional jumping and shooting, the new game introduces more unique skills and equipment. For example, some characters can summon mechs to help them fight, while others can perform a brief stealth or acceleration sprint. These new skills not only add more variety and fun to the game, but also make the combat strategy more diverse.

The new Contra also lives up to expectations in terms of music, with a rousing soundtrack and exciting sound effects that complement each other, allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the battle-filled game world during gameplay. This combination of sound and picture experience is incomparable to many other games.

No game can be perfect, though. Although the new Contra has been improved and upgraded in many aspects, there are also some shortcomings. For example, the design of some levels may be too complex, making it confusing or even frustrating for players to try it out for the first time, and the balance of control difficulty is also a common concern for players, and sometimes too difficult levels can reduce the relatability of the game.
