Assault Trooper

Assault Trooper is a video game in the action genre and published by Spectrum Pacific Publishing originally released in 1997. It is currently playable on DOS.

Assault Trooper is an isometric shooter with tactical and stealth elements. The player controls a commando (no details are given as to which government or organization he belongs to) on solo clandestine missions in various hot spots around the world. Missions include ransom, document retrieval, destruction of military targets, sabotage and assassinations. The ten available regions have five missions each that are gradually unlocked as more missions are completed.

Before a mission, the player selects equipment, which is limited only by the maximum weight the commando can carry. Various firearms and explosives are available, as well as portable first aid kits and armored vests. Therefore, the equipment must be planned according to the mission objectives. Since the design of Assault Trooper places more emphasis on tactical focus and stealth than on outright action, limiting yourself to using the most powerful weapon available is not a good way to play. The game documentation makes it clear that avoiding combat is often better than attack tactics.

Assault Trooper was initially released as shareware, with only two regions and ten missions available in the downloadable shareware version. The full registered version includes all 50 missions, plus a mission builder and a sample custom level to demonstrate how the editor works.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
