About Clippy Commando
Clippy Commando is an over-the-top indie action game where you play a rogue paperclip armed with absurd weapons like stapler grenades and paper shredder mines. Developed by Daniel Harnden, it drops you into a chaotic office war between the Clipenberg Empire and the Rulerian Alliance. Released in 2025 for PC, it’s a top-down shooter with pixel art and rapid-fire combat. The story mode tasks you with tactical carnage across levels like photocopier factories and pencil jungles, while infinite mode pits you against endless waves. It’s a weird, meme-fueled romp for fans of chaotic arcade vibes.
Gameplay
You control Clippy with WASD and mouse aiming, using a variety of overpowered tools, think laser-guided hole punches and explosive paper airplane squads. Each mission in story mode mixes platforming, boss fights, and resource management. Infinite mode ramps up difficulty every 60 seconds, forcing quick reflexes and weapon-switching. Power-ups like temporary invincibility or weapon combos keep things unpredictable. Matches last 15, 30 minutes, with permadeath adding tension. The controls are tight but clunky at times, especially during crowded firefights. The game’s charm lies in its absurdity, watching a paperclip launch a stapler missile at a squad of erasers is pure nonsense, but it works.
What Players Think
Clippy Commando holds an 8.2/10 on PlayPile, with 82% of players finishing story mode. Average playtime is 7.5 hours, though infinite mode adds replayability for 12, 15 hours. Community moods skew chaotic (25%), quirky (40%), and rage-inducing (15%). Reviews praise the humor and creativity but note repetitive level design. One user called it “the most stupidly fun 20 bucks I’ve ever spent,” while another griped, “Enemies spawn in walls too often.” Achievement completion is high at 88%, with 200+ trophies for collecting every weapon variant. It’s a niche hit, but not for those wanting deep strategy.
PlayPile's Take
Clippy Commando is a $19.99 guilty pleasure. It thrives on its zany concept and addictive infinite mode, but story missions feel short. If you want a laugh and quick bursts of action, it’s worth it. Avoid if you prefer polished mechanics or meaningful narratives. With 15 achievements under 2 hours and 10+ hidden weapon combos, it’s a quick play but not a long-term commitment. Your mileage may vary, but it’s definitely one of the weirdest games this year.
