International mobile game developer CocoaChina/Chukong, in partnership with legendary digital entertainment company Konami, today announced the release of Contra: Evolution for iOS. All of the bad guy-blasting, platform-jumping fun of the original 1988 Nintendo Entertainment System version of Contra is now available on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch for veteran fans and players new to the franchise to enjoy.
Following the game’s release in China earlier this year, Konami and CocoaChina have worked together to polish and optimize Contra: Evolution for the U.S. market.
Keeping with the legacy of the original Contra game, Contra: Evolution takes players through the jungles of South America to stop an alien conspiracy for world domination. Play as one of four characters, all with their own unique strengths, as you take on wave after wave of gun-toting terrorists and save the world.
Contra: Evolution combines all of the best parts of the original Contra game that players remember with mechanics designed for a modern audience, from level design that captures Contra’s famed difficulty to reimagined graphics inspired by the classic 8-bit art.
Whether you’re a lifelong fan or taking on the jungle for the first time, you’ll have a hard time putting Contra: Evolution down!
