A snappy, explosive top down shooter built for short sessions. Shooting feels satisfying, levels vary and the action never lets up. An honest arcade pressure valve.

Description
An elite soldier battles robotic enemy hordes in isometric-view levels in this Rage Software action game. Published by Majesco, released in the United States in January 2000. Isometric action with numerous on-screen enemies, powerful weapons, bomb system and varied fire. US edition.
Adapted from arcades and PC, Expendable is a top down action shooter that sends a cloned soldier blasting waves of enemies across industrial settings. The concept is deliberately repetitive, tuned for venting steam and for two player co-op. The era's effects still hold up, but the progression lacks variety and memorability. Without being a peak of the genre, it keeps a raw effectiveness and immediate appeal for fans of snappy arcade action to share on a couch.
