Commando Game

The game menu

Commando is an Online game, developed by Macrojoy, a studio supported by Miniclip. it is the first game in the Commando series, and it is the basis for its successors. It is believed to have been released in 2001. It clearly uses the exact gameplay of the Metal Slug series of arcade games.

Setting[]

The game takes place in Europe during World War 2. The player needs to prevent an invasion of Nazis from several locations. The player is equipped with guns, bombs, and a knife, all of which assist in destroying the enemy Nazis and their evil plans.

The game includes 4 different missions, in which the player is required to kill enemies and bosses.

Mechanics[]

  • The Male Character is the only playable character.
  • You only have 3 lives in an entire game session with no extra lives.
  • the aiming system functions almost exactly like Metal Slug. To aim your gun in any direction, you must use KB&M. In order to aim your gun up, you must place your cursor above you. The same thing can be said for shooting downwards, which only works when you jump.
  • Hopping on and getting off the turret repeatedly provides the Playable Character with invincibility frames which can be exploited to make that section found in Mission 1 extremely easy.
  • The only infinite ammunition weapon is the default pistol which is a Barreti.
  • There are 6 weapon types that have limited ammunition and cannot be refilled once the ammunition is completely depleted:
    • The machine gun weapon type (M) replaces the pistol with what looks to be a rifle-like weapon resembling a Thompson submachine gun. Has 200 ammunition. Can be refilled with appropriate machine gun weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size.
    • The rocket gun weapon type (R) replaces the pistol with a rifle-like weapon that looks to be a Thompson submachine gun. Has 30 ammunition. Each rocket deals 10 damage. Can be refilled with appropriate rocket gun weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size.
    • The silenced pistol weapon type (P) does not change the pistol model to a Thompson submachine gun. Has 40 ammunition. Can be refilled with appropriate silenced gun weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size. Is also silent. Deals more damage than the pistol. Can only be found in Mission 2.
    • The shotgun weapon type (S) replaces the pistol with what looks to be a rifle-like weapon resembling a Thompson submachine gun. Has 15 ammunition. Each shot deals 25 damage. Can be refilled with appropriate shotgun weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size. Has a ridiculously long range that damages all types of enemies.
    • The floppy missile weapon type (F) replaces the pistol with what looks to be a rifle-like weapon resembling a Thompson submachine gun. Has 15 ammunition. Can be refilled with appropriate floppy missile weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size. Can only be found in Mission 3. Deals more damage than the rocket gun weapon type because of the explosions it leaves behind.
    • The explosive missile weapon type (E) replaces the pistol with what looks to be a rifle-like weapon resembling a Thompson submachine gun. Has 20 ammunition. Each missile deals 15 damage. Can be refilled with appropriate explosive missile weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size. Can only be found in Missions 2 and 3.
    • The destructive missile weapon type (D) replaces the pistol with what looks to be a rifle-like weapon resembling the Thompson submachine gun. Each missile deals 25 damage. Can be refilled with appropriate destructive missile weapon type ammunition to increase its clip size. Can only be found in Mission 4.
  • You start with 10 Bombs, that deal 20 damage. They can only be used by pressing the space bar button. Can be refilled with more Bombs to increase the bomb count by 10. The Bombs seem to have a very long range and can hit enemies when your weapon type ammunition or pistol cannot.
  • To brandish a knife and slash an enemy, you must be in close range or else it won't work. You can tap repeatedly to the same effect.

Trivia[]

  • This game is rather easy on Easy, but the final boss is a long and grueling fight because of it having excessive HP. However, it becomes very hard on Survivor, where enemies become bullet sponges that seem to soak up even Machine Gun fire in spades.
  • The final boss has the same cross icon as Metal Slug's boss.
