Iron Commando (SFC)

1st level of this rare-ish Super Famicom-only beat em up. Cool game ruined somewhat by cheap hits and whack damage ratio

I played this game not to long ago it sucked.

[kikko]

yeah it's very disappointing IMO. I wouldn't say it sucks, but it's quite average...

This game was made by the same two French guys who made Legend for SNES. The problem with both games is that it looks like they were pretty much thrown together with the least effort possible. Not only do they just rip off the beat-em-up genre without adding anything new, but they actually cut corners and lack a lot of the basic things that other games have, like running attacks and variety in enemies. Also, both games use the exact same sound effects - another sign of the developers' laziness.

Pointing out that it has less memory doesn't change the fact that it ISN'T Cadillacs and Dinosaurs.

Nor does making the comparison make me a "dim idiot" its the same genre.

Everyone go out and MAME C&D and then smell your fingers afterward, thats the smell of greatness.

[Zanadusss]

not bad....but of course they are better beat´em ups

Ah...the glory days of the side-scrolling beat 'em up. Where they released so many, but only about 5% of them were actually good. Kind of like shooters today.

This game is the epitome of manliness. I fucking grew a Chuck Norris beard in just one day after playing this game.

Iron Commando fucking rocks!

@UndeadWario I actualy prefer capcom's Aliens vs Predator to C&D.

@mark771977 Not only that, the grenade sprite, if I'm not mistaken, is the exact same one from The Punisher

@drexegar Maybe the developers loved Capcom? Since their previous game, Legend, was pretty much a Knights of the Round knock-off. The only difference is that (at least for me) Iron Commando is way better than Legend

@AgentHorst I agree, the music is fantastic, especially the one from the first level

[Zuranthus]

the music sure is cool though

[alagear]

@achilleselbow I'm glad you mentioned this because the sound effects for example sounded suspiciously familiar. This one feels even worse than Legend.

[mark771977]

Anyone notice how much this looks and plays like The Punisher arcade game? Wonder why Capcom didn't notice. . .

I bought this game on a cartridge yesterday.

This game is not bad IMHO. I'd even say it's very good - it just doesn't play like your typical brawler (say Final Fight or SOR 2). You need different tactics when defeating different enemies and as for cheap hits - yes, it's annoying but there is a way to avoid them at most times - just keep moving and don't stand in one spot.

I agree - this game looks and feels A LOT like Punisher - the first minutes I played it I thought it was a Capcom game :P

[drexegar]

Dude play this game and you sware to god, I think this was punshier for the snes, maybe capcom didnt like the port, so they scrap the idea and who ever got there hands on the engine came up with this. The riduculous fly kicks are there. the gernade special when you jump. Pick and throw character just like in punisher. Look at the enemies in this video! WTF? Exactly the same stance as the enemies in punisher! No NO NO! There has to be some answer here! This is more than just a similarity.
