Neo Contra is an action shooter game released in 2004 for the PlayStation 2. It is the tenth installment in the Contra series and serves as a direct follow-up to Contra: Shattered Soldier. The game is set in the year 4444 A.D., where Earth has been transformed into a prison planet, and a new order called 'Neo Contra' has risen with nefarious plans. Players control Bill Rizer, a clone of the original Bill Rizer, and his partner Genbei 'Jaguar' Yagyu, a samurai, as they battle against the Four Elite and the mysterious Master Contra to stop 'Project C', a plan to create a half-human AI.
The gameplay returns to a multidirectional shooting format, with levels played from various perspectives including isometric, side-scrolling, and overhead views. Players can use defensive moves like dash and spin to evade enemies, and the game features a variety of weapon sets, including those from other Konami games like Gradius V. The game also includes a time limit in the later stages, adding an extra layer of challenge.
Neo Contra received mixed reviews from critics, with praise for its fast-paced action and variety in level design, but criticism for its departure from traditional Contra mechanics and the limitations of its weapon system. Despite this, the game retains the classic Contra feel with intense firefights and a high replay value due to its ranking system and unlockable content.
While it may not be as highly acclaimed as some of its predecessors, Neo Contra remains a notable entry in the Contra series for its unique gameplay mechanics and challenging levels. It is still sought after by fans of the series and retro gaming enthusiasts for its nostalgic value and the continuation of the Contra storyline.
