War never changes—but it does get oddly cute in Cannon Fodder. Guide your tiny commandos through missions filled with explosions, carnage, and dark humor. The game mixes arcade action with light strategy, and the body count piles up like it’s going out of style. But here’s the twist: it knows it's satirical. The catchy music, the tiny tombstones after every mission—it all adds up to one of the most effective anti-war messages ever wrapped in pixelated mayhem.

Cannon Fodder review
PC Zone (1994): "It's a great game. It might seem similar in style to Syndicate, but it's considerably faster. Enemies (especially tanks and helicopters) have their own intelligence routines, and make life as hard as possible for you. The difficulty curve is just about perfect: you sweat and sweat over a level until you suss it, then get onto the next one which is a little bit harder. If you die, and have to re-do the previous level, it usually seems fairly easy after all. One of the later levels is called 'Running Out Of Ideas' - and they probably were by then - but if you make it that far, you'll feel you've had more than your money's worth."
