Cannon Fodder 2

This tactical shooter adds time travel and vehicles to its challenging war simulation.

Cannon Fodder 2 was developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive for DOS in 1994. It is the original release of this game, with no earlier platform versions.

About Cannon Fodder 2

Cannon Fodder 2 continues the core concept of directing a squad through terrain featuring natural and constructed obstacles. The central innovation is a time travel narrative, which shifts the setting from conventional battlefields to varied eras and an extraterrestrial environment.

Players manage a range of weaponry, with standard firearms supplemented by found explosives like grenades and rockets. These heavier arms are essential for dealing with structures and enemy vehicles, which include jeeps, tanks, and helicopters. These vehicles themselves can be utilized as weapons against infantry.

Success depends on tactical positioning and the judicious use of limited resources, making the gameplay challenging. The need to secure defensive points and conserve powerful munitions for key targets is a constant strategic consideration.
