The game is a remake of the earlier Who Dares Wins, which was given an injunction after it was accused of being too similar to Commando;[3] Computer Gamer magazine had described Who Dares Wins as an "accurate reproduction" of Commando.[4]

Gameplay

The main character is a lone soldier sent into enemy territory, wielding a gun and five grenades.[5] The player must capture eight enemy outposts against massive opposition.[2] The player can blow up vehicles and rescue prisoners in each level.[6] If the player takes too long, the prisoners are executed by firing squad.[6]

Reception

Zzap!64 rated the game a 90/100, calling the game "fantastic" and the landscapes "incredible".[2] It revisited the game 7 years later and gave it a revised rating of 78/100, saying that "it just hasn't weathered the years too well", but that it was "still very playable".[5]

Dion Guy of Nintendo Life called the game something he wished was on the Nintendo Virtual Console, and "a lot of fun" despite not being extremely difficult.[6]
