Cannon Fodder

Developer: Sensible Software

Cannon Fodder on the SNES is a compact, top-down squad action game where you lead a tiny team of soldiers through short but brutal missions. Gameplay mixes run-and-gun reflexes with light tactical choices—positioning, limited reinforcements and judicious use of explosives and vehicles. Levels are quick to learn but punishing when mistakes cost a man, creating a satisfying loop of trial, adaptation and mastery. Its darkly humorous presentation and compact stages deliver a memorable, nostalgic challenge that rewards careful play and fast thinking for fans of retro shooters and tactical arcade action.
