Time Commando - Gameplay

Gameplay

As the player goes through each level, he/she collects various weapons exclusive to the time period. Stanley has a small life bar that grows larger further into the game, when the player picks up life power-ups. Along the same lines, Stanley has multiple lives. As the player plays through a level, a time bar, which counts down time until the virus completely takes over and the player dies, slowly fills. This bar can be emptied by depositing computer chips collected throughout the levels in various "orb pools," which resemble the vortex Stanley first entered.

In each time era, Stanley is able to use five weapons unique to that era:

• Prehistoric: Rocks*, bone knife, club, spear, giant club.
• Roman Empire: Dagger, gladius, sling*, trident with shield, battle axe.
• Feudal Japan: Fans*, shuriken*, katana, dao, fireball*.
• Medieval: Morning star, sword and shield, longsword, crossbow*, parchment*.
• Conquistador: Sabre, halberd, flintlock*, macuahuitl, blowgun*.
• Wild West: Revolver*, shotgun*, Winchester rifle*, dynamite*, dual-wielded revolvers*.
• Modern Wars: Revolver*, Enfield bayonet*, AK-47*, hand grenade*, rocket launcher*.
• Future: Laser pistol*, laser gun* (attached to Stanley's left arm), yo-yo, atomic grenades*.
• Virus World: Crystal stars*.

• The asterisks " * " denotes this weapon has a limited number of uses (i.e. until ammunition is depleted).
