Snake and Eagle, two commandos of the Bloody Wolf special forces, receive instructions from their commander to destroy the enemy's heavily armed base to rescue the President and any allies who have been reported as MIA. Based off the 1988 arcade game, this single-player, top-down, run and gun shooter takes a nod to Contra-style gameplay, allowing one of the two mercenaries to blast their way through eight levels of enemy opposition armed with only a knife and a machine gun. Along the way, new weapons such as shotguns, bazookas, flash bombs and grenades grenades can be added to the arsenal, as well as health and defensive power-ups. Players can even find a motorcycle to ride in some areas, or swim through certain parts of a level. The President and your fellow soldiers need you!

The game's on the easier side, as the enemies only seem to shoot into one of 8 directions, and are easily avoided if they run at you. Your bullets also reach father than theirs, weirdly enough. Nonetheless, the game does have a few nasty screens and bosses, even if it only gets really hard when it asks you to use your knife which is automatically used for close-combat at any time.
There's not much to say about this game. It's a competent and fun B-movie-like action where you collect items and weapons to shoot at various men and vehicles. It's a tiny bit janky with occasional slowdown and weird interaction with boxes (regular ones can only be opened from the side, and the locked ones only from the top?), but I'd recommend this game if you're looking for something similar to Commando

Good on the TG16 version for having ridiculously generous checkpoints and continues, otherwise I don’t think I would’ve cleared stage 1.
Gunplay could be a lot better, mostly because of a totally fucked up collision system. It doesn't seem like there's a proper Z axis value for comparing collisions while in air, which leads to perspective-induced deaths from bullets scraping your head.
Streamed this with Jenny and Darias and we named our characters UpAss and Poope. UpAss and Poope are boyfriends.
