A war played for laughs
The Dastardly Black Army has invaded your homeland, and HQ has decided the whole war is your problem. The story parodies war films and their clichés: the world needs saving, there is a pretty girl to rescue, and the dialogue never stops finding new ways to be silly. Cutscenes and mission briefings carry most of the jokes, so it pays to actually read them. The humor is goofy and good-natured rather than mean, and it runs through everything from the writing to the absurd situations you stumble into while exploring. If a serious war drama is what you want, this is not it. If you want to snort at a dialogue box between firefights, it delivers.
Shooting with a twist
At its core this is a fast top-down shooter: move, aim, fire, throw grenades, repeat, at a smooth 60 frames per second. The targeting system is the twist, and it is generous about where your bullets land, headshots included, and yes, even footshots. You level up as you fight, spend your earnings in four shops on weapons, armor, medals, traps and other gear, and set traps to soften enemies up before they reach you. A silent Buddy AI companion watches your back in the field. Later missions throw in giant bosses, including a submarine, a tank and an armored train, and the final boss is genuinely tough: tune your mouse sensitivity before you go in.
What should you know before playing?
How long does it take to finish?
It is built as a singleplayer game: one recruit, one Buddy AI companion, no multiplayer modes. The Buddy fights alongside you, but the war is yours to win alone.
What is there to do besides the main missions?
Quite a bit. The four open areas hide plenty of secret spots and collectibles, some of which end up displayed in your personal tent back at camp. There are shooting gallery minigames where you pick off enemies arcade style, a casino in town where blackjack can quietly eat all your gold, and traps to buy and deploy. You can also wander off the mission path entirely; the game rewards it.
