Cannon Fodder is a top-down tactical action shooter developed by Sensible Software and released for the SNES in 1994. In this challenging strategy game, you command a small squad of soldiers through increasingly difficult, combat-heavy missions. Known for its anti-war undertones and dark humor, the game requires sharp reflexes and careful positioning to outmaneuver enemy infantry, vehicles, and installations without losing your recruits.
How to Play
Your objective is to lead your troops across hostile territories, completing missions that typically involve eliminating all enemy forces or destroying their buildings. Use the D-pad (mapped to the arrow keys) to move the aiming crosshair. Press the B button (X key) to direct your squad to the cursor’s location, and the A button (Z key) to fire your machine guns. You can also throw grenades or fire rockets using the Y button (A key) when you have them equipped.
Tips
Always prioritize destroying enemy barracks and factories quickly using grenades or rockets; otherwise, they will continuously spawn enemy reinforcements. Use the terrain to your advantageโstaying near trees or water edges can provide natural cover and funnel enemies into your line of fire.
