Play Cannon Fodder 2 Online

Cannon Fodder 2 is a top-down shooter released for MS-DOS in 1994. Developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment, the game is a science fiction themed sequel that expands upon the core mechanics of its predecessor. Players control a squad of soldiers through a series of missions viewed from an overhead perspective.

The player directs a small team of soldiers across various terrain, issuing movement and attack commands to engage enemy forces. Progression is linear, moving through a sequence of distinct levels. Primary gameplay involves tactical positioning, managing unit fire, and utilizing environmental elements for cover. The mission structure introduces a time travel narrative, transporting the squad to different eras and locations including medieval settings, a depiction of Chicago, and an extraterrestrial planet. This variety alters the visual backdrops and enemy types encountered from level to level.

Gameplay systems include the use of several drivable vehicles such as jeeps, tanks, and helicopters, which provide enhanced firepower and mobility. The arsenal available to soldiers extends beyond standard firearms to include collectible grenades and rockets, which are necessary for destroying certain structures and enemy vehicles. Strategic placement of units remains a consistent focus, as players navigate maps filled with obstacles like trees, huts, and bodies of water while confronting opposing soldiers.
