About Assault Trooper

Assault Trooper is an isometric shooter where the player undertakes solo covert operations globally. The commando's assignments involve diverse objectives such as sabotage, assassination, and retrieving documents or personnel.

Gameplay emphasizes tactical planning and stealth over direct confrontation. A weight-based equipment system requires careful selection of firearms, explosives, and protective gear before each mission, aligning the loadout with specific goals. The design discourages relying solely on firepower, promoting a more measured approach.

The complete game features fifty missions spread across ten regions, unlocked progressively. Originally distributed as shareware with a limited set of missions, the full version includes all levels plus a mission editor with a demonstration custom level.

Walking in the line of fire of a machine gun is generally not advised.
The person you're supposed to rescue is marked with a yellow circle. You actually don't need to escort them back, just get to the pickup point yourself.
Mission complete! No points for playing on easiest difficulty though.
