GAME SUMMARY

Cannon Fodder 3

Rating: 3.9 (27 votes cast)

Cannon Fodder 3 is a tactical action game, which inherited the style and traditions of the original game. The war goes on and its scale is nearly the same as before. 500 conscripts are sent to meet their destiny. What awaits them? A general's stars or a bed of honor?

These 21st century soldiers are equipped much better than their 1994 predecessors. They have 8 types of machinery, suitable for land, surface and airborne operations, as well as 17 types of weapon from assault rifles to the nuclear bomb.

Skirmishes take place all around the world and even in space! You'll fight throughout the day and night, in hot and cold weather, in snow and rain. The enemy is skilled - there're terrorists from all over the world and they have cutting-edge technologies at their disposal: teleportation and various mechanized combat systems. Our heroes will face great challenges - artillery strikes, insuperable force fields, automated turrets, suicide soldiers and giant humanoid robots.  

Your savvy will come in handy: your actions aren't limited to slaughter and destruction. You'll have to capture enemy vehicles and bases, save hostages and rescue convicts, hold the line and shoot back from the turrets, search for data discs and spare parts, repair broken robots and bypass minefields. The high command carefully watches your operation’s progress: missions can be aborted because of major offence; minor misbehavior will be reprimanded, and great achievements will be rewarded with medals and promotions. In the end, the very best soldiers will receive the greatest reward: they will return to home camp where warm army barracks, hot army food, soft army bunks and a tender drill sergeant await them. Until the next time.

Game features:

  • 8 types of controllable machinery
  • 17 types of weaponry, including tactical nuclear strikes and carpet bombings
  • Achievement system
  • Battles with unique bosses
  • Combat progress leads to new ranks
  • Special-purpose bonus items
  • Day and night missions, weather effects
  • Various locations: America, Asia, Russia, lunar and orbital bases

Cannon Fodder 3 review

By Siannah posted 11th February 2012

First things first: anybody knowing the original Cannon Fodders, will get / want to compare CF3 against them. While it does hold up and they certainly tried to stay as close to them as possible, it can't capture the spirit fully.

However, with the added gameplay elements it manages to be a clear and good follow-up for the 21st century and not just a bad rip-off.

You get a 4 soldiers squad running around maps, fighting off enemies, blowing up buildings. Controls are WSAD for movement with the mouse being used for targeting.

Your soldiers gain ranks as in the original Cannon Fodders, which increases your fire-range / -rate and getting replaced by new recruits once one of your soldier dies. With the addition of checkpoints on the map and the 3 shot health, it seems a lot more easier on paper then in the previous games. However, your range of fire is also equal to your enemies, making it at least as hard to keep your troops alive.

While the gameplay is much more casual orientated, you can easily create the original tension with just not using / reloading from checkpoints. And trust me, getting through without deaths / reloading checkpoints is damn hard.

While Nostalgics may dismiss some elements, it's a fun game and easy to get used to it. Game Factory Interactive show a lot of respect to the original games and it's ideas, while introducing new ones to take the game forward.

For me, a fan of the original games, well worth the money asked.

Welcome back, Cannon Fodder.

Cannon Fodder 3 review

By fedaykin6 posted 11th February 2012

An excellent and long-awaited sequel. While Russian developers have a bit of a bad reputation for releasing bugged or badly designed games, this one turned out great! It has everything the originals had and more. It's still the same lighthearted, fast, fun, simple wargame, but with more weapons and vehicles. It also has more destructibility and good 3D graphics. The only criticisms I have is that it is less challenging and the level design is less diverse than in the originals.

But overall, war has indeed never been so much fun.
