Play Captain America - Super Soldier Online

Captain America: Super Soldier came out for the Nintendo DS in 2011, published by Sega. It was part of that wave of movie tie-in games on the handheld, a time when you could expect a portable version of a big film to show up alongside the console releases. This one tried to capture the feel of the Captain America film from that same year, giving you a smaller scale adventure built for the dual screens.

You control Steve Rogers, Captain America, navigating through a series of contained environments like Hydra's castle. Your main goal is to stop the Red Skull's plans, which involves moving from screen to screen, fighting soldiers, and solving environmental puzzles. The combat relies on timing your blocks and strikes, letting you chain together attacks and toss your shield at distant enemies. You also use the shield to hit switches or deflect projectiles, which is key for progressing. The pacing is fairly direct, with a moderate challenge that comes more from managing groups of enemies than complex platforming. It feels like a compact action game that makes good use of the character's core abilities.
