Developed by Serious Brew and published by Missing Link Games, Cargo Commander is a rather unique 3D platform game that borrows heavily from other succesful genres. The very fact that all the levels are randomly generated, can give you a first clue that this won’t be a repetitive experience. Also the destruction you can cause in this title is more prevalent than in regular side-scrollers.

Cargo Commander features an upgrade system for the weapons and tools in the game, giving us a sense of moving forward. Some hefty looting of the crates is required but I never felt bored once while playing and the destructible enviroment is a nice bonus to an already fun title. A text-based story is included and it does present us with rare moments of comic relief. Not many platformers attempt that and also succeed. This is entirely a single player experience but the level diversity and well scaled difficulty ladder offer a balanced gameplay. It wasn’t too short and it didn’t drag on either. My main gripe with the game however, was the inconsistence of the loading times which are a bit unexpected. I guess some glitches can’t be fixed by further updates.

It has beautiful 3D graphics with just a touch of cel-shading in the mix. It never looked bland or out of place. Few things to comment as far as the looks go. It carries plenty of diversity in both enemy selection and the titular cargo crates which form an integral part of the gameplay.

The game’s second flaw has to be sound department. You have a limited selection of sounds that play on a loop. It gets boring fast even with the entertaining gameplay, encouraging you to press on. We’re already used to the fact that platformers seldomly feature any noteworthy soundtrack, but this game deserved more in that regard.

+ Pleasant graphics
+ Excellent gameplay with incentives to try different aproaches
+ Steam Trading Cards & Achievements

- Inconsistent loading times
- Repetitive sounds

Cargo Commander is a very nice addition to any game collection since it has both Trading Cards and Achievements. Fans of the platformer genre will not be disappointed as the gameplay brings to table both classic and novel features. I most certainly enjoyed it and I do hope for a sequel even if this title was released in 2012 and the dev team haven’t released anything else in the meantime. Even by 2016’s standards, this game is a worthy choice and overall fun experience.

Rating 8/10
