Play Cannon Fodder (Europe) on sega Online

Cannon Fodder came out on the Sega Genesis in 1994, developed by Sensible Software. It was a different kind of war game for its time, one that didn't glorify combat but instead made you feel the weight of every decision. On a system filled with action platformers and fighting games, it stood out for its grim tone and strategic demands.

You control a small squad of soldiers, moving them across varied landscapes screen by screen. Your goal is to complete missions by eliminating enemy forces and destroying their structures. Key mechanics include directing your troops with careful positioning, managing limited lives represented by named recruits, and using vehicles like jeeps and helicopters when available. The pacing is tense; enemies attack from all directions, and losing a high level soldier you've kept alive for missions hurts. Success depends on quick thinking and conserving your forces, making each completed mission a relief.
