It's truly hilarious that Contra is the crossover that poncle and Konami have chosen and for that I commend them. That said, perhaps Vampire Survivors is starting to wane for me because this DLC didn't feel as though it was offering anything that I hadn't seen in previous releases. The new weapons are OK, but finicky to build outside of one of the two new stages. The new stages are interesting, but lacking anything special aside from a Contra coat of paint over Vampire Survivors. I did enjoy revisiting the game for this DLC, but it definitely didn't feel essential.
