“I've have some good fun with this game so far. It controls well with my 360 controller and plays nice with my 2560 x 1440 screen. The trailer and demo show what the game is about. It's got 4 levels of difficulty. I'm on…”

“it fun for the first few levels (maybe 2 hours), than it gets repetitive really fast. Not much tacital depth or strategies, just shoot everything. And way too grindy for a 100% achievementgame: After completing the game…”
“Reminds me a little bit of Cannon Fodder.. only quicker, more action packed, more modern, no need to worry about recruits and put simply, a lot more fun. I got it for $0.95 USD on sale. Since I've already been playing…”

“This is a pretty solid, retro arcade styled, twin-stick shooter. There is a rain of blood, bullets and explosions at every turn with plenty of destructable landscape and baddies to take out. The movement and aim is pretty fluid making it easy to get into the action. There is…”
— a player, Steam review · 5 hrs played“If you like shooters like "twin stick shooters", this is the game for you. Simple, varied and hugely entertaining. Many characters to use, different enemies and explosions everywhere. The commands are perfect, both M + K and pad. With the latest updates they added Donald Trump,…”
— a player, Steam review · 16 hrs played“Kick Ass Commandos is a bright, colourful shoot 'em up that is sadly also shallow and repetitive. I enjoyed myself for the first two hours. Ploughing through the enemy with a horde of commandos was immensely satisfying. As was completely wrecking the scenery with flame throwers…”
