Bionic Commando Rearmed

Bionic Commando Rearmed is a remake of the NES game, retelling the story of Nathan “R.A.D.” Spencer’s first mission: retrieve the captured agent Super Joe from the Imperials. It keeps the original’s side-scrolling mix of swinging and shooting, with a 2.5D visual revamp and a new soundtrack based on the NES music. Characters and memorable moments from the original story return.

Swing and fight

You use a bionic arm to swing through stages and fight enemies. Rearmed adds new bionic arm abilities, weapons, smarter enemy AI and bigger bosses to the classic gameplay.

Modes and challenges

Two players can team up in co-op, while multiplayer supports up to four players facing off in shooting and swinging combat. Challenge Rooms feature obstacle courses and swinging puzzles, with best times ranked on online leaderboards. Top-Down Stages bring back the original’s top-down scrolling Enemy Encounter stages, with remixed music from Commando.
