Commando: Steel Disaster is a run and gun video game for the Nintendo DS developed by Mana Computer Software. The gameplay is similar to that of Metal Slug, as players control an operative to stop a militant organization through five stages of combat featuring gunplay and dodging projectiles in a 2D, hand-drawn style.
Story
Various sectors of a military group reported being attacked by some of their own war machines, and that a terrorist organization led by a man named Rattlesnake is at the center of each attack. A commando and vehicle specialist code-named Storm is assigned to enter each affected area and progressively stop Rattlesnake's ambitions.
Gameplay
Players control Storm throughout the various stages of combat. The player’s objective is to progress through each level while collecting weapons and ammunition in order to survive long enough to defeat the end-level boss. 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 extend or extra life bonuses. If a player dies, then a game over occurs and then the player restarts that specific mission over 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.
