Calling on a backup soldier for spot support allows solo players to receive assistance even when not playing in 2-player mode. Commandos Burn, Smith, Beans, and Iron use specialized training to combat the D.N.M.E. terrorist group throughout Neo City. Players can either team up with a comrade or manage a single operative to stop the city's crime wave.
