A.W.O.L.

You play as Dwayne Allen, a recently discharged special-forces soldier who reunites with former squadmates to search for their missing commanding officer.

Fight through nine handcrafted levels set in places including jungles, cities, snowy military bases, and moving trains. Use firearms, grenades, cover, and occasional stealth kills as you advance.

Three AI squadmates can support you in combat, and you can issue orders such as advancing, holding position, or falling back. Choose between a more action-oriented approach and more challenging combat settings; enemies may take cover, hide, or set ambushes.

Players who enjoyed A.W.O.L. often point to its retro military look, punchy gunplay, and varied levels, describing it as a fun, compact old-school shooter. Some also like its tactical combat ideas and comic-style presentation, though opinions on how well those systems work differ. Reviews also repeatedly raise concerns about squadmate AI, performance, bugs, and navigation.
