Kick Ass Commandos

Excellent game. I don't mind that it's difficult, but the knife levels are REALLY hard. Sometimes when I stab an alligator or bad guy, it works fine. Sometimes I just keep poking and nothing happens until I die. Even after leveling up, I may kill 3 or 4 alligators without losing any health at all, and then my knife seems to turn into rubber or something. As I look over steam version play through online, this seems to only be a problem on the iOS version. All other gameplay is super fun, but knife levels are extremely frustrating... Please check to see if this is a bug. Edit - I figured it out. Knives ARE broken half the time, but there is a workaround. At the beginning of a level, try to stab a tree. If it breaks, you have a good knife and it will work fine if you do not release the trigger. If the knife stops working, run away and find another tree or box to stab.

This is a nearly perfect twin stick shooter with a lot of character and fun to be had, but the knife levels are so difficult that they take the fun out of the game. I've tried every strategy to make the knifes actually work and still don't know how I'm supposed to best use them to attack. Half the time they work great when going straight on and pushing forward with them, but other times they won't work at all like that. It seems like they work better when I'm in water, but who knows why.

It’s like the old school games Commando and Ikari Warriors combined with the new game Broforce. Great music and fantastic pixel art make it a treat for the eyes and ears. The explosions and meat chunks are awesome. Everybody loves meat chunks don’t they? It’s a twin stick shooter with all of the above and is really really fun. I’m done with this review because I want to go back to playing it. Stop reading and go buy it!
