About the story
In the near future, an experimental attempt to harness the power of the Earth’s core ends in a terrifying disaster: the release of the Sludge God. This eldritch abomination begins terraforming the area, turning soil to scum and the living to undead monsters. Luckily, the genius behind the experiment has a plan to make things right. All he needs is a team of competent, highly trained mercenaries to get the job done. … Unfortunately, they were all too expensive. Which is why he’s hired… The Toxic Commandos.

Critic Reviews
Nexus Hub
By Sam AberdeenJohn Carpenter's Toxic Commando delivers chaotic co-op fun boosted by Saber Interactive's impressive Swarm Engine, but it's a lightweight Left 4 Dead clone that's better in short bursts.
Gamer Social Club
By Fraser BillingtonEverything about John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando just works. SnowRunner with Zombies about sums it up. So far, I’m having an absolute blast. With each completion giving me enough to upgrade something to make me feel a little bit stronger. I haven’t been able to complete a very hard mission yet, but I’m getting so close. With a couple more levels and full communicating squad, that Sludge God will be mincemeat.
WellPlayed
By Ash WaylingJohn Carpenter's Toxic Commando is a loud, proud, and stylistically sharpshooter that shines brightest when you're tearing through hordes of gunk zombies with a group of friends.
STWGames Italia
By Nicola LecisJohn Carpenter’s Toxic Commando* is a chaotic co-op shooter that mixes fast-paced combat with vehicular gameplay, emphasizing movement and unpredictability. Inspired by Carpenter’s action-horror style, it embraces excess and irreverence rather than realism. Its identity stands out through this bold approach, even if its success in a crowded market is still uncertain.

By Konstantinos KalkanisThe presentation of John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando is solid; while the graphics aren’t particularly impressive in terms of technical prowess, the action is satisfying, leaving us with a production that has no obvious flaws.
