Rookie Fodder

A love letter to the classic squad shooters of the 90s.

You command a handful of tiny, named rookies. They follow their leader in a wobbly line, they shoot where you point, and they go down from a single hit. So does the enemy.

Survivors are promoted. The fallen get a dog tag on the wall, with a note of how it happened. There is always another recruit waiting at the gate.

• One hit kills, for both sides
• Rifles never run dry; grenades and rockets are precious
• Explosions do not care whose side you are on
• Huts keep sending enemies until you flatten them
• Thirteen missions across jungle, snow, desert, moorland, an underground base and islands
• Row a boat, ride a snowmobile, borrow a tank, and run when the helicopter comes
• World and country rankings, with every result checked by replay
• 36 achievements, and optional Play Games sign-in
• Split your squad into teams to guard, flank or scout
• Play co-op: two to four friends, one team each
• Eighteen ranks, from Rookie to Field Marshal
• Every soldier has a name, a record and a quirk
• Touch, controller, or keyboard and mouse; phones, tablets, foldables and Chromebooks
• Single player works offline
• Seven languages. No adverts

Cheerful on the surface. A little heartbreaking underneath.
