Description

"Cannon Fodder" is a compelling military-themed action-strategy game, originally developed by Sensible Software and released for the Panasonic 3DO in 1994. The game is famously known for its pointed anti-war message combined with an engaging gameplay loop. Players command a small squad of soldiers through numerous battles, tackling various objectives such as destroying enemy bases, assassinating enemy leaders, and rescuing hostages. The control system is intuitive, utilizing a point-and-click interface that makes orchestrating the complex troop movements and tactical engagements straightforward and engaging.

Historically, "Cannon Fodder" has been praised for its innovative blend of action and strategy elements coupled with a darkly humorous approach to the serious subject of war. Each soldier in the game is individually named, and a tally is kept of those killed in action, which emphasizes the game's underlying message about the high cost of warfare. The tagline "War has never been so much fun" juxtaposes humor with the grim realities depicted throughout the gaming experience, making it a memorable and thought-provoking title. The game’s entry on the 3DO platform added improved graphics and sound capabilities, providing a richer experience compared to earlier versions on other systems.
