Sci-Fi

The 1998 adaptation of Small Soldiers for the Nintendo 64 was a curious platformer that leaned into its toy-etic premise. Players controlled the Commando Elite, battling Gorgonites across a range of environments, with a focus on shooting and level traversal via grappling hooks and ziplines. Despite its basic visuals, it was the surprising depth of the combat, using the varying strengths of each Commando, that kept players engaged with its surprisingly challenging levels.
