Sensible Software’s Cannon Fodder would be an excellent candidate for iOS, but Codemasters has never released it. Worry not though, because Chillingo has also realised this and just released a surprisingly good clone for iPad and iPhone.

Taking control of a small squad of soldiers (which can be increased in size as the game continues) you simply follow out objectives that range from destroying buildings, to holding off against a set number of enemies. Controls are very straightforward, as you simply touch the screen for wherever you want to go. Shooting is handled in a similar way, while rockets and grenades are used by simply swiping in the direction you wish to fire.

Money can be collected which will unlock additional weapons and abilities, but there is also the option for in-app purchases if you’re too lazy to put any effort in. There are three chaptes with 8 missions for each, ensuring a fair amount of play for your £1.99. The only real downside is that it’s a little simplistic and so far, hasn’t offered any real challenge like Cannon Fodder used to. It’s certainly worth investigating if you’re a fan of the series though.
