Remember when Game Boy games were all about simple, no-nonsense action? Universal Soldier On GB nails that vibe—it's a straight-up side-scrolling shooter where you blast through waves of enemies with that satisfyingly chunky pixel gunfire. The sprites are tiny but surprisingly detailed for the hardware, and the controls are just responsive enough to make dodging bullets feel fair.

First few minutes in, you’re already knee-deep in explosions and weirdly tough foot soldiers. The music’s got that classic tinny energy, like someone compressed an action movie soundtrack into a single Game Boy channel. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s solid—the kind of game you’d rent as a kid and beat in one sitting because you had to return it the next day.

If you’ve got a soft spot for 90s shooters or just want to see how they crammed a Universal Soldier game onto a cartridge, this one’s a fun little time capsule. Just don’t expect deep lore—it’s mostly about holding right and mashing the B button.
