Konami’s Series Contra 4 The Return Legend is known to gamers for many things, it is a legend, right from the beginning of the gaming concept such as “Breaking the Island” that is a memory, a heroic past. And for many people, it is the best game of all time.
Gamme Contra 4 marks Bill Razer’s return to the front line against the threat of alien monsters, but this time he has a teammate Solomon Caesar, an exclusive character for the mobile version created by Stephen Hendrick. (Konami conducted a very interesting character creation contest for Contra 4 Mobile to get fans’ ideas about the design of the hero character as well as the background plot.) Bill and Solomon pass 7 levels full of alien enemies, from basic soldiers to giant bosses that fill the screen.
The structure of the game is the essence of Contra. You run from left to right and blow up everything, from soldiers, satellites, watchtowers, to flying insects launched by the game. As you have to do with Contra games before, you have to play again, sometimes many times to remember how each place will take place.
Bill and Solomon have very strong firepower of 5 weapons and some “toys” to survive through the levels. They start with a machine gun, but the weapon will be stronger when unlocking strong firepower, such as “radiation bullets” that will cover the screen or the flamethrower will burn enemies with explosive bullets. Having powerful weapons will be very important when facing giant bosses, such as tanks.
If you get hit by a bullet (Contra’s world does not have the concept of “blood bar”, and a bullet will knock you down), you will have to return to the da rifle, and when facing bosses will be a very difficult thing.
