Fans of death and destruction will certainly enjoy Who Dares Wins II... a welcome addition to my software library. Read Review
The graphics aren't too inspired, and the screen movement is a bit juddery. On the other hand, with a bit of patience and practice the game tends to grow on you. Read Review
The gameplay is easy to get into and the standard movement patterns of the enemy soldiers do mean that movement up the field of battle can be quite easy; provided you don't try to go too far too fast. Read Review
Who Dares Wins II has a greater number of features than Commando but the graphics are not as good. Read Review
Eight fields of battle!
Only the bravest volunteer for the ultimate suicide mission to free lost compatriots held prisoner by the armies of death, the forces of oppression. Only the fearless take up a challenge where courage and endurance are as essential as intelligence and skill.
Compulsive. Action-packed. Step forward, modern day hero, you'll never know how good you really are until you've tested yourself on the ultimate mission.
Armed at the outset with an automatic rifle and five grenades, make your way forward to the enemy occupied territory where the opposing battalions are entrenched in occupied townships and the surrounding districts. The occupation army has formed itself into garrisons where they hold prisoners from your own patriotic forces. Press onward to the first enemy garrison avoiding enemy snipers and hidden obstacles on the way, until you are confronted by the walled compound from which will pour the defending troops. Kill off this attack and you gain entry to the next sector of the enemy territory in search of the next garrison of prisoners. But beware the terrain has changed, the dangers have altered. And on you must battle, clearing your way to the final garrison in the 8th territory where victory should be yours until you learn that your back up forces have lost their hold on your first conquest. And so you must return to reclaim the territories the enemy have regained but this time you'll find they're wise to your bravery and the encounters will be even more fierce, the dangers even more cunning.
Note: Your grenades can be replenished from randomly hidden ammunition boxes. If you free a prisoner from execution you earn a high bonus.
Everything you'd expect in a 'real life' combat zone and to alert you to the dangers would disturb the balance of the 'fighting machine' that you've been trained to become.
Z - Left, X - Right, : - Up, ? - Down, RETURN - Fire, SHIFT - Grenade
