Commando: Steel Disaster is a run and gun video game for the Nintendo DS developed by Mana Computer Software. The game was released on May 30, 2008.[3]

Plot

The story begins when several sectors of a military group report being attacked by their own war machines. A terrorist organization led by a man named Rattlesnake is assumed to be responsible. A commando and vehicle specialist code-named Storm is assigned to enter each affected area and progressively stop Rattlesnake's ambitions.[4]

Gameplay

Storm is controlled by the player during all phases of warfare. The player's goal is to advance through each level while gathering weapons and ammo in order to survive long enough to face off against the boss at the end of each level. The storyline progresses at the beginning of each stage as Storm's communications officer, Jessica, informs him of where to go next.

Players can hold up to two firearms, which they can switch between, and can also hold a certain amount of hand grenades.

The player has no extended or extra life bonuses. If a player dies, a game over screen appears followed by the player restarting the current mission from the beginning. Players can start and save their own profiles, but it is necessary to beat the first level before progress can be saved. Storm occasionally commands a vehicle, which mostly happens at the beginning of the game, but additionally by the game's climax. The gameplay is similar to that of Metal Slug. The game has five stages of combat in a 2D, hand-drawn style.[5]

Reception

Commando: Steel Disaster received mixed reviews from critics upon release. On Metacritic, the game holds a score of 64/100 based on 6 reviews, indicating “mixed or average reviews”.[7] On GameRankings, the game holds a score of 61.11% based on 9 reviews.[6]
