## What is Jackal Retro?

Jackal Retro also distributed under the title of Top Gunner, is an overhead run-and-gun shooter. The player must maneuver an armed jeep in order to rescue prisoners of war (POWs) trapped in enemy territory.

The Jackal Squad is an elite group of soldiers that have undergone a harsh training regiment to survive in any environment. They have been given a mission to drive the armed jeep into hostile territory in order to rescue and extract POWs.

The game starts with a transport helicopter dropping the Jeep into the coast of the enemy territory. The main objective is to penetrate the enemy's main headquarters and destroy their ultimate weapon. Along the way, you - the gunner will proceed through numerous internment camps where the POWs are held. Prisoners held in solitary camps will upgrade the jeep's grenade/missile launcher by one level. Your jeep would pick up prisoners and once it is filled, you must drive to the nearest heliport where an extraction chopper awaits to retrieve them. You are able to receive more points for extracting prisoners in succession. If a player successfully extracts the target number of prisoners in a row into the chopper, the jeep's missile launcher will be upgraded to the next level. The jeep will go through a variety of different areas throughout the course of the mission such as an ancient ruin, a lake, a hill, and a mountain before reaching the enemy headquarters.

The Jeep can run over foot soldiers but will be destroyed if it gets shot by a projectile or collides with an enemy vehicle. When your Jeep is destroyed, you can watch to get a replacement one. The game ends when you accomplish the mission or run out of replacement jeeps. A map is shown at the game over a screen showing how far the player has progressed.

### 5/5 — Account lost

*2024-09-15*

Great game! It just hurt because I lost all my money and info not creating an account !

### 2/5 — Lazy Game (no, seriously)

*2024-08-01*

This is a good game and it’s actually pretty fun, but there are multiple things that ruin the experience.

1. sErVeR eRrOr - It’s impossible to collect mission rewards because the game always complains about a “server error” no matter how good your wifi and connection are. This results in you being under level since most coins are uncollectible.

2. Bad Tutorial - The entire upgrade system isn’t explained, so here it is: use coins to level your vehicle to max. Then use (don’t know the name— again, unexplained) to enhance and gain a star. Max stars = max upgrades. The game doesn’t explain how to switch abilities either so I’m stuck with the same one.

3. Aim Problems - Sometimes the vehicles straight up don’t aim. This is annoying especially in later levels when you get ambushed more regularly.

4. AI “Art” - I mean, come on. If it was good then I wouldn’t mind but half the people in my base have either three eyes or 5 arms. There’s even one guy that’s PINK.

———————————————————————————

Now that you read the bad things, here are the good things.

1. Game - it’s a game.

Thanks for reading this review!

### 5/5 — Servers issues

*2024-07-29*

Imma start off by saying the game is great. The only issue I have really is the server. My Wi-Fi connection is completely fine but for some reason it keeps saying server error.

### 1/5 — Ads in Triplicate. Way too many.

*2024-07-13*

Way to ruin a decent game. When an ad comes up you click no. And another pops up immediately after. Click no again. And it happened AGAIN. Doesn’t matter how good the game is, it’s ruined by greed.

### 5/5 — Fun but…

*2024-06-27*

Pls some freeze and a bug where I can’t edit my name

### 5/5 — Fun

*2024-03-29*

Fun game

### 4/5 — Good

*2023-12-29*

Gooood

### 5/5 — Fun game

*2023-11-05*

This is a fun game. Challenging to play.  Would be even easier if the joystick was easier to control the vehicle movement.

### 5/5 — Good

*2023-11-04*

Nice

### 5/5 — Love

*2023-09-20*

Love this game. Hope more events coming soon
