Great General

Game Details:

Captain Commando was loved by players in the arcade games of the time for its unique future sci-fi punk style and high-freedom combat system. The four protagonists are: Captain Commando himself, Baby Commando who uses a mechanical arm, Mummy Commando from outer space, and Ninja Commando who can launch fire and ice. Each character not only has unique normal attacks and special moves, but can also pick up various future weapons, including laser guns and rocket launchers. More characteristically, the game allows you to drive mechs (such as robots or dinosaur armor), which was very advanced in similar games at the time, greatly enriching the combat experience and strategic nature. The game is designed with nine levels, each with creative boss battles.

Game Guide:

I. Character Special Skills and Positioning:

• Captain: Balanced. His running kick and aerial dive attacks combine speed and range, making him a stable all-purpose character.
• Mummy: Strength. His attacks and throws are high damage but slow. Suitable for clearing thick-blooded enemies or as the main attacker in multiplayer games.
• Ninja: Speed. Possesses extremely fast running and combo speed, and his running flying kick (attacking after a diagonal jump) is one of the best clearing skills in the game and is equally effective against bosses.
• Baby: Skillful. Although sitting in a mech, his attack range is very wide, especially when driving a mech, which can greatly improve the team's survival and output ability.

II. General Combat and Resource Management:

• Make good use of insurance skills: When besieged by enemies, pressing the "attack" and "jump" keys at the same time to launch a special move (insurance) will consume a small amount of health, but can quickly relieve the siege and knock down all enemies around. This is the most important life-saving method in the game, don't be stingy to use.
• Run-attack suppression: Attacks that follow running often have stronger judgment and knock-down effects. For example, the ninja's running flying kick can almost clear a wave of minions without injury.
• Mech utilization: The mechs in the game (especially the blue mech that can shoot) are excellent defense and output tools. Try to keep the mech from being destroyed and use its special attacks and high durability to fight bosses or a large number of elite monsters.
• Weapon allocation: Reserve high-damage ranged weapons (such as laser guns, flame guns) for Boss battles or elite groups at the end of levels that are difficult to clear at close range.

III. Boss Battle General Strategy:

• Keep your distance and observe the pre-swing: Most bosses have regular and obvious attack pre-swings. Don't stick to the attack all the time, keep a certain distance, and go up to output after the boss attacks or briefly stiffens.
• Jump to dodge and counterattack: The boss's ground dash or close-range combo, the best way to dodge is to jump or run backwards. Attacking the boss from behind is often safer.
• Focus fire and full firepower: In Boss battles, if the team has reserved firearms, they should be used without hesitation, and strive to defeat the Boss before releasing a fatal skill. When cooperating with multiple people, focusing fire can quickly reduce the boss's health.
