Tiny Troopers

Whenever I flick through the app store on my iPod touch looking for games, I never actually expecting to find anything good, or even halfway decent, but every now and again I come across something actually pretty fun to play.

This is Tiny Troopers, a game that they were just giving away for free a while ago but now it has a price tag.  I don't know how much it costs in the UK or America but in Japan it's 85 Yen, which is basically nothing so it can't be that expensive.

Now I don't even need to review this game, because you know what this is?

That's right folks, it's fucking Cannon Fodder for the iPhone!  It doesn't feel exactly like this old Amiga gem but it's essentially the same damn thing.  If you don't know what Cannon Fodder is, then go youtube it, or get it on an emulator or something, it's fucking fantastic!

For those that can't be arsed (shame on you) Tiny Troopers tasks you with taking a couple of dudes around a map, gunning down enemy soldiers and fulfilling objectives.  If your troops survive the mission they get stronger and if they die, they are replaced by a new soldier. 

The game also has this "command points" thing, where you can call in extra equipment or hire an extra soldier for that level, it's the games way of trying to make you spend more money, but they give you a load of command points daily and I've never needed any extra.  Also as a nice little bonus feature, the game has a zombie mode, where you play for points until you die.  Shit has leader boards too so if that's your thing rather than mission based gameplay, then there's something for you too!

So check it out, if your looking for something that's actually pretty good for your iPod or iPhone or whatever, this is well worth buying.  For those that don't own an iPod or iPhone or iPhucknuts or whatever, it's also avaliable on Steam!
