Contra 2028 is a fan-made game that pays homage to the original and legendary Contra series.

It’s a modern day game powered by the Unreal Engine with super realistic graphics, effects, and sound. It’s pretty much the equivalent of Contra set in the near future.

But get this…it’s not a sidescroller platformer like the original. Instead of playing on a 2D plane, this game upgrades the experience to a breathing 3D world. You could literally say it’s a whole new game that uses familiar characters and weaponry from the original Contra.

It’s actually very similar to how Gears of War plays.

You start out as a soldier working for the British military and your only objective is to defend your country from the onslaught of enemies that are here to eat you up.

The game throws objectives at you here and there as well. It’s not like the original where you just need to make it to the end of the level and you beat it.

You’ll have to defend against waves of aliens that claw and bite you, and you’ll have objectives very similar to Doom’s minigames.

Beat these objective challenges and you’ll win extra guns, ammo, and even sentry turrets.

But don’t worry. You’re armed with very nice weapons that you’d expect from a Contra tribute game. You have heavy SMGs, rifles, pistols, shotguns, and even some blasty-blasty canons. The game even has an upgrade system for your weapons as well…and they’re pretty much required if you want to even survive for a bit.

That’s because the game is very, very tough. This isn’t a walk in the monster park. It’s a game where everything from weapon choice to your placement matters.

You get upgrades throughout the game to help you out, but you need to manage your ammo reserves so you can’t go spraying. You also have to utilize turrets to help take down hordes of aliens, and you have to also master your special abilities. You get a super jump and even a slide attack- both of which look awesome.

If you’re not up for a challenge, don’t play this game. It’ll kick some serious ass and requires only the most dedicated players to actually finish it.

But at the same time, it’s very fun to play with the graphics being so good and the nonstop action coming at you in waves with a payout to Contra. Check it out using the link below and play it for yourself. See if you can master it.
