ABOUT THE ORIGINAL GAME

The world is locked in a fierce 1980s showdown between the freedom-loving Federation and the ruthless Empire, heirs to the sinister Badds (also known as the Nazz). When Imperial mastermind Generalissimo Killt revives the unfinished “Albatros” project, the Federation’s ace soldier Super Joe is captured. Now, it’s up to Ladd Spencer of the elite FF Battalion to infiltrate enemy lines, free Super Joe, and thwart the Empire’s doomsday scheme before “Albatros” can be unleashed on an unsuspecting world.
Step into this reimagined Bionic Commando, inspired by the classic arcade original and its computer ports, yet boasting entirely new levels and a fresh narrative. You’ll rely on Ladd’s extendable bionic arm to swing across deadly chasms, scale towering platforms, and reel in foes, all without a single jump. Scavenge vital items after each mission to unlock hidden paths, and tune your color-coded communicator to intercept critical orders that drive the story forward. Fast-paced, strategic, and utterly addictive, Bionic Commando delivers a one-of-a-kind action experience that will keep you hooked from start to finish.
