## What is Commando Protocol?

The Ashen Legion holds the Serra Verde valley. Behind it lies a jungle base - and something they dug out of the hills. Then it lands in Manhattan. Commando Protocol sends in one operative.

Run, jump and shoot your way through two missions and eight stages of 8-bit action, built in the spirit of the arcade classics: tight controls, fast enemies, big bosses, and no mercy.

OPERATION JUNGLE
- Landing Zone: fight across a storm-lit valley to the gate of the Legion's base.
- Site Nine: inside the base - floor traps, ceiling guns and the defense core.
- The River Fort: a gunship duel on top of a dam at dawn.
- The Dig: down into the excavation pit to face the Obelisk - then run before it caves in.

DEFENSE OF NEW YORK
- Hold the Square: keep Times Square open until the last evacuation bus is gone.
- The Tunnel: run the subway under Broadway with something coming down the tracks behind you.
- The Convoy: escort the last truck of refugees across the Brooklyn Bridge.
- The Last Floor: climb a skyscraper - stairs or the lift shaft - to the spire of the Obelisk.

MADE FOR YOUR HANDS
- On iPhone: a field unit in your palm - a thumbstick (or a rocking cross pad, your choice) and lit A and B buttons right under your thumbs, upright or sideways.
- On iPhone Duo: open it and the big screen becomes a tabletop arcade - the picture above the hinge, a control panel with a ball-top stick below. Turn it sideways for an arcade monitor with a CRT look.
- Or pick up any game controller: the touch controls step aside while you play with one.

PLAY YOUR WAY
- Machine gun, spread, flame and laser, plus rapid fire, barrier and airstrike pickups.
- Three difficulty levels. Checkpoints along the long stages.
- Game Center high scores: one table across all missions at each difficulty.
- Also on Apple TV, with two players on one screen.

PLAY ONLINE
ONLINE CO-OP: two commandos on two devices - iPhone or Apple TV, in any mix. Invite a friend through Game Center from ONLINE on the menu; you host, they join free. ONLINE CO-OP is an auto-renewable subscription, monthly or yearly, with three days free the first time. It renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it in your Apple Account's subscription settings.

NEW MISSIONS ON CARTRIDGES
The game's missions come on cartridges. New cartridges are added from time to time - they appear on the CARTRIDGE shelf in the menu, with no update of the game needed.

Old-school hard. Every life counts.

### 1.3 — 2026-10-26

- ONLINE CO-OP: play the whole game with a friend on another iPhone or an Apple TV. Pick ONLINE on the menu and invite them through Game Center: you host, your friend joins free - even on a cartridge they don't have, which comes down for the game. ONLINE CO-OP is a subscription, monthly or yearly, three days free the first time, shared with your family.
- Online, your own moves act at once, however far away your friend is. Put the game away and it pauses for both of you.

### 1.2.1 — 2026-10-23

Zombies, witches, werewolves, the Headless Horseman and the Hollow King. On the CARTRIDGE shelf until November 4.
- A thumbstick under your thumb: it takes its middle from wherever your thumb lands. Prefer the cross pad? SETTINGS > CONTROLS.
- SETTINGS on the menu and the pause menu: the music and the sound effects, haptics and the controls - and on iPhone Duo's big screen, the CRT look and the glare.
- RESTORE PURCHASES under the cartridges on the shelf.
- A boss fight now begins as soon as the boss comes into view.

### 1.1 — 2026-10-20
