Type A: Machine Gun, Grenade Launcher, and Lock-On Missile. The weapon sets can be variated from the weaponry depending on the character used since Katana Jaguar uses his katana sword in all his sets. The Type F configuration features the GV Laser and Ripple Laser, both weapons from Gradius V.

The player can choose from one of the three initially available weapon sets (one which includes the famous Spread Shot from the earlier Contra games, which was missing in Shattered Soldier), with four additional sets that are time-release. The player has two types of firearms used against ground-level targets, one with regular ammo, the other with flammable rounds, and a third weapon used to lock on to airborne targets. The game uses a modified version of the three-weapon configuration from Shattered Soldier. The hit-ratio system that was introduced in Shattered Soldier has been kept in this title. Dash gives the player a quick burst of speed to evade hostiles, while spin gives the player an instance of invulnerability. Instead, two new defensive moves are added that allow the player to effectively evade in the new dimensions: dash and spin. Most of the game is played from an isometric perspective, but portions are side-scrolling or overhead-behind. Additionally, this title eradicates the boss-oriented gameplay of Hard Corps and the previous 32-bit titles, and seeks a balance more reminiscent of the 8-bit and SNES Contra games long free-form shooting sections, inter-spliced with boss encounters.Īdditionally, gameplay varies depending on the level and camera angle presented (the camera cannot be user-controlled). However, unlike the titles developed under Appaloosa Interactive, players only need to aim in the third dimension on rare occasions. Neo Contra once again brings the games back into three dimensions. It was the first game in the series to receive an ''M'' rating from the ESRB and was the only installment to receive said rating until the release of Rogue Corps in 2019. The game is a direct follow-up to Contra: Shattered Soldier, but returns to the multidirectional shooting format and departs from the traditional scrolling shooter formula used in previous games. It was developed by Team Neo Kijirushi, a group of staff members within Konami Computer Entertainment Tokyo, and released for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. Neo Contra ( ネオコントラ, Neo Kontora) is the tenth video game in the Contra series published by Konami.
