One or two players each control a soldier, guiding them across enemy infested maps on a gore-filled journey of violence and destruction. Reaching the end of a level and defeat powerful bosses requires killing enemies and avoiding traps, pits and their attacks, while picking-up extra lives, grenades and weapon upgrades along the way.

It's a "meh" game. It really does play like a lost game from the '80s. There are absolutely no modern perks here, no upgrades or hidden collectibles, no extras. If you didn't grow up with these games, you won't find any joy in insane difficulty, slow moving character, grenades with range you can't outrun, no twin-stick option and only 8 directions, etc. The only perk is that levels stay unlocked once you beat them. The really bad things about the game are repetitive music, sound, barely understandable voices, low number of different enemies and ridiculous blood spray coming out of dead bodies. I also think the price is too high for a tribute that doesn't contain any modern mechanics.

For fans of the classic game Commando, this title is an absolute must-play. It captures the essence and gameplay style of Commando, but with a fresh twist — it’s genuinely challenging. This difficulty is the game’s greatest strength: tough yet fair. With focus and determination, you can progress steadily. One of the best features is that once you master a level, you don’t have to start from the beginning every time. Instead, you resume from the last level you reached, which is essential for maintaining motivation and flow. Overall, this game feels like it was crafted by fans, for fans of the genre — a true homage that delivers both nostalgia and a rewarding challenge.

It is a really fun game, the retro feels, I played it coop with my 6 years old son and we had a lot of fun, It was hard at first but using a controller helps because on keyboard its really hard for my (no practice) fingers LOL. I received this product free but I can say with all my heart that this is really a fun game to play especially with your friend or loved ones. #mission1985
