I’ve decided to review this game as it is quite dear to me. It was one of system’s earliest games and one of the first I ever played. The earliest memories I have of my beloved SMS was enjoying, albeit struggling, playing this game. It is quite difficult and I never did get very far back then. I remember pausing the game and showing my mum how far I got when I reached level 4 for the first time. Anyway, you play as Ashura, together with your comrade-in-arms Bishamon, and you have to blast your way through enemy strongholds in search of your captured friends. On a side note, did anyone else get confused by the fact it said ‘Secret Commando’ on the title screen? And who were those characters in the pictures on the back of the box? The game is a vertical scrolling shoot-em up where you are free to roam about on the screen but cannot go backwards. You play as a solider/commando/whatever and you’re equipped with a gun and grenade-arrows. You have to make your way though the different levels of varying terrains and locations blasting a vast array of bad guys and freeing prisoners by destroying huts. When you free a prisoner they will throw you power-ups such as super-rockets and a mysterious object that kills all enemies on screen. You can also pick up long range shots and super bullets. I find it all great fun, with the only downer being that your character moves so slowly. I find it quite amusing that it’s a titanic struggle to avoid an enemy bullet by retreating backwards. The best thing about the gameplay though is that if you can find someone to play these old games with you then you can enjoy 2 player co-op. Or sometimes not so co-operatively if you’re like me and my friend, who like to blow each other up with grenade-arrows (one of us does it by accident, which starts a personal war). […] This game is still one of my faves and is among my top 20 SMS games. It brings back good memories for me, so I have a feeling I might being a bit biased with my review. But if you haven’t played it or really got into it, give it a fair go. It’s pretty slow but it’s good once you’re used to it. It’s a solid game and very underrated I think. If you’re looking to buy it you shouldn’t have a problem as it’s as common as muck. Happy gaming! - www.SMStributes.co.uk
