Garena Contra: Return vs Sky Force Anniversary
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.
Sky Force Anniversary
Sky Force Anniversary brings Sky Force to platforms other than Android and iOS, namely PC and consoles, allowing even more players to enjoy its exhilarating arcade shooting action. It is basically similar to Sky Force 2014 on mobile and features everything you'd expect to find in the latter, including challenging enemies and bosses, large number of missions, weekly PvP tourneys, an in-depth airplane upgrade system along with a wide variety of planes to fly as and weapons to blast enemies into smithereens. In this version, you can also play the game cooperatively with a friend through the game's local multiplayer option.Oddly enough, despite its similarities to Sky Force 2014, Sky Force Anniversary is available on Android as well. Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure the game doesn't support cross-platform cooperative gameplay so you can't exactly play with your friend cooperatively if he is on the PC and you on your phone.
Sky Force Anniversary is the best (and only) version of Sky Force that you can get for Nintendo Wii, PlayStation (3, 4 and Vita), and Xbox Live, but if you want to play the game on your mobile, you can get either the Anniversary version (Android only) or the 2014 version.
