Bionic Commando: Rearmed

is a 2008 enhanced remake of the 1988 NES classic. It is widely considered one of the best examples of a "retro remake" done right.

  • 2.5D Graphics: A beautiful blend of 2D gameplay with fully rendered 3D character models and backgrounds.
  • Top-Down Enemy Bases: Between side-scrolling levels, you infiltrate 3D-esque, top-down comms rooms.
  • Weapon Upgrades: Grenades, shotguns, three-way rockets, and the devastating "BALZER" weapon.
  • Co-op Mode: The single-player campaign fully supports local co-op, creating chaotic, fun teamwork.
  • Challenging Secrets: Hidden "FSA" letters and challenge rooms that unlock concept art and power-ups.

Yes.

Bionic Commando: Rearmed is a masterpiece of game design. The fact that it is no longer commercially available makes the highly compressed repack the only practical way to play it on a modern PC.

Playing co-op in a highly compressed LAN setup is magical. One player distracts enemies while the other swings ahead to hit a switch. Just beware of "grapple griefing"—accidentally pulling your partner into a pit of spikes.
