How it feels
An arcade-style run-and-gun shooter with retro pixel graphics, frantic combat against waves of enemies and bosses, and an intense, explosive feel both solo or cooperatively.

What players say
Players praise its faithful recreation of the 1985 arcade classic Commando, but they are split on whether the deliberate lack of modern comforts works. Many find the difficulty punishing and controls basic, with only eight-directional movement and no twin-stick option. Others appreciate the challenge and the nostalgic feel, especially in co-op.
