Gameplay
editWolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is an arcade-style run and gun video game reminiscent of its predecessors but in a 3D perspective. The basic gameplay loop involves moving and dodging oncoming fire while strengthening one's own character with power-ups and new weapons, such as grenades or rocket launchers. There are rideable vehicles which can be operated by multiple players.[3][4]
The game can be played with anywhere from one to three players: the playable characters being Wolf, Coyote, and Fox. One may play locally or in an online campaign.[4]
