Bionic Commando

Nathan “R.A.D.” Spencer is a bionic soldier sent into the ruins of Ascension City after a terrorist attack devastates it. Once imprisoned by the government he served, he is offered a chance to take part in a behind-the-lines mission. Play from a third-person perspective, using Spencer’s bionic arm to hook onto distant points and swing with momentum through vertical environments. In combat, the arm can grab and throw enemies or objects, while firearms and close-range attacks provide other ways to fight. The campaign moves through a sequence of missions across ruined streets, buildings, and other hazards. New combat abilities, weapons, and upgrades become available as you progress; challenges and collectibles offer additional goals. A multiplayer mode with stat tracking is also included.

A disgraced bionic soldier returns to a shattered city, swinging through ruins and fighting terrorists with his mechanical arm.
