Army Men (USA, Europe) (GBC)

In Army Men for the Game Boy Color, players step into the boots of Sarge, a brave green plastic soldier, engaging in an intense war against the opposing Tan Army.

The gameplay typically features a top-down or isometric perspective, providing a strategic overview of the battlefield and allowing players to easily maneuver Sarge. Missions in Army Men are diverse, ranging from rescuing friendly units and destroying enemy objectives to collecting vital items and simply eliminating all Tan forces in a given area.

Sarge has access to a variety of weapons to combat the enemy, including a basic rifle, area-of-effect grenades, a powerful flamethrower, and a bazooka for taking down tougher targets. Ammunition management is crucial, as players will need to scavenge for ammo pickups scattered throughout the levels to keep fighting.

The game environment also plays a significant role. Players can interact with certain elements like driving tanks or jeeps, utilizing stationary turrets for defense, or finding cover to avoid enemy fire. Levels are designed to be challenging, often featuring mazes, hazardous traps, and obstacles that require clever navigation and tactical thinking from the player. The ultimate goal is to defeat the Tan Army and complete all objectives to secure victory for the Green Army.
