About Cannon Fodder 3
Cannon Fodder 3 is a tactical action game, which inherited the style and traditions of the original game. The war goes on and its scale is nearly the same as before. 500 conscripts are sent to meet their destiny. What awaits them? A general's stars or a bed of honor?
These 21st century soldiers are equipped much better than their 1994 predecessors. They have 8 types of machinery, suitable for land, surface and airborne operations, as well as 17 types of weapon from assault rifles to the nuclear bomb.
Skirmishes take place all around the world and even in space! You'll fight throughout the day and night, in hot and cold weather, in snow and rain. The enemy is skilled - there're terrorists from all over the world and they have cutting-edge technologies at their disposal: teleportation and various mechanized combat systems. Our heroes will face great challenges - artillery strikes, insuperable force fields, automated turrets, suicide soldiers and giant humanoid robots.
Your savvy will come in handy: your actions aren't limited to slaughter and destruction. You'll have to capture enemy vehicles and bases, save hostages and rescue convicts, hold the line and shoot back from the turrets, search for data discs and spare parts, repair broken robots and bypass minefields. The high command carefully watches your operation’s progress: missions can be aborted because of major offence; minor misbehavior will be reprimanded, and great achievements will be rewarded with medals and promotions. In the end, the very best soldiers will receive the greatest reward: they will return to home camp where warm army barracks, hot army food, soft army bunks and a tender drill sergeant await them. Until the next time.

✦ AI summary
Cannon Fodder 3 offers fun top-down tactical combat with decent graphics and some strategic elements, though it suffers from limited weapon variety, lack of narrative, and a progression system that feels unmotivated. Players who enjoyed the original games often find it disappointing as a departure from the classic formula, and those new to the series may find it plays like a simplistic mobile game despite working adequately on modern PCs.
[h1] Playable but you have to tweak some game files to make loading faster otherwise it might take a few minutes which obviously doesn't sound good. Gameplay consist of getting your soldiers past enemy lines and it's not entirely bad like the reviews say. Throw grenades grab better weapons, destroy buildings and make some decent mayhem. If you like these type of games you will surely like Renegade Ops. [/h1]14 found this helpful
I cannot recommend Cannon fodder3, If it were anything like cannon fodder 1-2 i would of loved it. what a shame.1 found this helpful
A game that i remember fondly from the Amiga days, but plays like a dog on a modern PC with little to no settings1 found this helpful
Average game at best. +The graphics are good for the era +The Combat is fun +Works well on modern Windows 11 PC +Some good perks to call in - The weapons are very limited - The biomes are just variations of colour - There is no story at all - There is no reason to level up and gain experience Overall it's a fun little cheap game; getting through the level sometimes is hard, but there is some strategy involved in route pickups. Having a little look into a base and then coming back when you have that airstrike, etc. However, all the weapons are just point and shoot and unless I miss something there no reason to level up and keep men alive other than your gravesite gets bigger. Never played 1 or 2, so can't comment, but it plays out like a cheap iPad game but with a mouse and keyboard.
A fun addition to the original Cannon Fodder 1 & 2. I played they on the ye olde Amiga. This instalment was enjoyable. A fun time waster.
An enjoyable game, bit of a grind at times in later levels. I gave up on the final boss battle, which feels out of place.
