Imagine a world where the boundaries of time are threatened by a catastrophic virus created by a rogue programmer. Stanley Opar, a member of S.A.V.E (Special Action for Virus Elimination), must navigate through eight different eras to destroy the virus before it's too late.
Time Commando is an action-packed game with puzzle-solving elements, where you play as Stanley as he travels through time. The player will face a variety of enemies and use different weapons suited to each era, from rocks and bone knives in prehistoric times to laser pistols in the futuristic world.
The gameplay focuses on combat and character navigation, similar to survival horror games like Alone in the Dark . Stanley has three attack moves and a blocking move, requiring strategy when choosing weapons against specific enemies. The player must also manage their life bar, which can be increased by picking up power-ups, and make the most of limited time limits.
The game features animated pre-rendered sequences and polygonal models for characters, creating an immersive experience. With multiple lives and the ability to collect computer chips to lower time limits, Time Commando offers a challenging and thrilling adventure through time.
