Several levels await your super-tough Commando in this arcade conversion. Armed with only a standard rifle and a few grenades you must take on hordes of Nazis. Some are wandering around in the open, while others have picked out hiding places, which you must approach from certain angles. Trees, rivers and bridges create a varied combat-like terrain and must be incorporated into your thinking. Extra grenades can be collected, and will definitely be required, as they allow you to kill form distance and thus avoid some enemy shots.

I cant fucking beat it.
Puedo decir con orgullo que termine este juego, con lo estúpidamente difícil que es. Corto y no muy brillante jugablemente, pero tiene su gracia, no deja de ser divertido matar soldaditos, no deja de ser Capcom.
You can see traces of Ikari Warriors, Contra and Metal Slug here all at once. The gameplay isn't that refined, but a serviceable vertical shooter.
You just walk up the map while shooting guys. It's yet again a fine NES game.
Clearly unfinished and half-assed
A pedantic jerk would say something like, “the lineage of all modern military shooters points back to Capcom’s Commando”, but this game is basically unplayable — spinning in circles desperately flinging short range bullets as hyper-speed over-programmed enemies mob you in an unsatisfying onslaught. No one knows if there’s a second screen because no one’s ever made it that far.
