I would like the review to be positive, the game has potential but it has many drawbacks.
This is for Commando 2.
If they hit you, they stun you for a damn long time and you can't even switch weapons.
You can't always jump to the next step.
If the enemy is too close, you can't hit him with a firearm, and sometimes you start the level with an enemy who is too close and has a high chance of hitting you quickly.
If you fall off a cliff or something similar, you lose a life and start over at a checkpoint other than the same place you died or just have a little blood, which is a pretty big disadvantage considering that if you don't jump correctly in certain places, you can lose a lot of lives.
The balance is also quite bad, I played 4 levels on easy difficulty and from the middle the difficulty increased too much.
There are mini-bosses who are much stronger and more durable than the last boss of the level, and you can't even see their blood.
Some of the weapons are too weak and the molotov can only explode when it hits the ground, not an enemy like a grenade, and I think this is a bug.
The other thing is why do you collect things at all that give you points and don't even give you extra lives.
It would be good if the ammo was distributed so that it didn't give the one weapon you're currently using all the ammo.
This is for Commando X.
It starts to cut and you lose control and your soldiers are slow and too weak.
This is for Commando 3.
The weapons are not well balanced, you can't even choose like in 2 and again if they are too close you can't hit them.
And the screen should be the whole screen, not just part of it.
If the enemy hits you, he throws you too far away and can easily hit you if he doesn't shoot.
You don't die when you fall into nothingness, you just lose blood, but you can very easily fall even for no reason.
At times you lose control, you go through the entrance too early.
The screen could be full or partial, which sometimes causes problems. On all games.
The game needs a lot of repair.
I wouldn't recommend it in such poor condition.
Metal slug might be better, it might be shorter, but it's much better than this one.

My childhood in one collection, this collection has Commando 2, 3, and Assault, games that filled my childhood back when flash was still a thing, and the fact i can play them without the use of an emulator or some shady website is a good thing, one thing im glad this collection changed however is the absurd difficulty in Commando 2 on harder levels, that was a breath of fresh air to finally be able to conquer them after years of trying before flash ceased to exist. Also the game runs excellently on the Steam Deck, so really, what more could there be asked for?

Arguably one of the best flash game series of all time. Its just as good & janky as I remember and the additional content is a nice touch

I just think its too bad that Commando 1 didnt get a remaster...
