Story

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 purported to be responsible. A commando and vehicle specialist code-named Storm is assigned to enter each affected area and progressively stop Rattlesnake's ambitions.[5]

Gameplay

Storm is controlled by players 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 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, then a game over occurs followed by the player restarting that mission from the beginning. Players can start and save their own profiles, but it is necessary to beat the first level in order to save any progress. Occasionally, Storm commands a vehicle, although this mostly happens at the beginning of the game, but additionally by the game’s climax.

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]
