Had my wife translate it: Yes, please wait until we finish the the next revision. It should be soon. There is a plan for a global release. Please watch our website. She's not absolutely sure which website they refer to, it's kind implied and not specific. They use the word forum.
I received an English response from them! Here it is: "Hello! thank you for following us ! Our team are working harder to improve the quality of Contra iOS version so far. It's supported will be available this May, sorry for delay and thanks for your understanding!!" This is awesome, I want this game so badly!
You'll seriously spend most of your time battling with the controls. Sheesh...and I thought the joystick was bad. The D-pad's borderline unusable. It looks like Contra, it sounds like Contra, it plays like something I'm this close to deleting. I even ended up using all the diamonds they give you at the start of the game to see how far I'd manage. Made it up to the 3rd stage before running out. Like I said, that thin line between "tolerating" and "get rid of this crap"...I may cross it soon. EDIT: Crossed it. Fun while it lasted...but no thanks.
Oh, NO, man! Don't tell me that! This is terrible! It looks so damn good!! I was worried about the controls, too. I just can't believe it! (wiping the tears from my eyes)
It is better the second layout for the pad. Yeah the controls are uncomfortable when you start playing but I'm getting used to. So far I have reached stage 4 without dying. I love all contra/hardcorps games and this game for sure
Sorry buddy. :/ I really tried to like it. I went back and forth changing the controls at least a dozen times and then stuck to the joystick, blew all the diamonds I was given and then decided it really wasn't worth the time and effort. This week has been spectacular for iOS gaming. Save that dollar, go spend another $31 and enjoy 3 of the greatest games to come out. Believe me, spending that much will leave you feeling less guilty than wasting a dollar on this. I found it to be completely abysmal, to be honest. The second your finger leaves the "square", you stop moving. It was also practically impossible to hit any of the diagonals.
^This... I think the best solution for this kind of games is the Apocalypse Max control scene... Anyway... At least for me the game as it is now is almost unplayable... I m gonna give some more shots in case i'm gonna use to the controls (after the 20th attempt on the first stage) but for now is the no1 game from this week's buyings that is on the uninstall list.
ThnX Killercow. ive bn waiting 4 thiz #1. the last 2 additions i had fun playing wuz on tha PS2. all i could think of iz Metal Slug w/inclusion of 2 new female warriorz. im stoked 2 c how tha rpg elementz workout.
I feel like they are constantly trying to trick me into using diamonds so I have to buy more. Seriously, every menu seems to have a section where it's like "DO YOU WANT TO USE DIAMONDS BUY SOME NOW PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!!!!" The controls are alright; kinda bothersome. Worth a dollar I guess if you're a big fan of the original, but it's nothing spectacular. I would have been happier with an updated, original looking version.
