Garena Contra: Return vs PWND
Garena Contra: Return
Garena Contra: Return takes us back to the golden age of alien-themed side-scrolling shooters, where arcade games like Metal Slug and Double Dragon, along with the Contra series, reigned supreme. Featuring the nostalgic pixel graphics, arcade-style shooting, cool effects and animations, your favorite heroes (Bill and Lance) as well as epic boss fights, this game made full use of modern technologies to turn a classic series into an arcade game that may just appeal to the younger generation.The game also offers a duo mode, allowing you to team up with your friends; and various other PvE game modes like the Boss Challenge, One Life Mode and more. There are even PvP events (1v1, 3v3 or a tournament-style championship) for you to prove your skills, tons of weapons to use, and a play style that can be fully customized.
Promising intense action throughout the game, Garena Contra: Return puts you once again into the role of humanity's savior as you battle against waves of aliens. Will you be able to save your people? Play the game now and find out! Garena Contra: Return is currently in pre-registration phase and is only available on Google Play.
PWND
PWND is a team-based, competitive MMOFPS with an arcade-styled gameplay which will remind you of Quake Champions, Unreal Tournament and other similar games. The game features a lineup of uniquely different characters that you can play as, each with their own sets of skills and stats.Considering that this game can have quite the high skill ceiling, it's great that you can get a feel for the game via its Practice Mode where you battle against bots. Once you're ready, you can dive into some epic shootouts in the 3-vs-3 Quick Play mode. The game also offers a single-player 20-level gauntlet, which again is remisniscent of Unreal Tournament.
Taunting your opponents (and getting taunted in return) is part and parcel of PWND so this game isn't exactly the sort that "snowflakes" play. Instead, you should take those taunts in stride and better your game just so you can have fun getting sweet revenge! Needless to say, the game does provide quite a number of funny and outrageous taunts that you can play around with.
All in all, PWND is a really amazing free-to-play title that fans of Quake and Unreal Tournament would enjoy. It has a pretty fair microtransaction system, and if it can get a healthy player base to keep going, you may get to enjoy more maps, game modes, and characters in the future as well.
