Cannon Fodder 3 is a tactical action-strategy war game, and is the sequel to the 90's game Cannon Fodder. 500 conscripts are sent to meet their destiny. What awaits them? A general's stars or a bed of honor. The game involves a small number of (heavily outnumbered and easily killed) soldiers battling enemy terrorists. The player must rely on strategy and heavy secondary weapons to overcome enemies…

The music in the game is widely criticized for being repetitive, generic, and poorly matched to the gameplay, with many reviewers noting the soundtrack loops the same electric guitar tune throughout. Fans of the original series lament the loss of memorable and varied music, describing the current score as boring and not living up to the franchise's legacy. Overall, the soundtrack detracts from the experience, often feeling outdated or annoying during gameplay.
“I think the music producer was a fan of Command & Conquer, cause that's the first I think of when I listen to the music.”
“Loved Cannon Fodder, used to play it on Amiga (best—only full—version). Had the song wedged in my head for no less than 20 years and let it sit there.”
“The original Cannon Fodder's subtleness, humour, irony, attention to detail, the varying level design, music, and the incredible attachment to the survivors you painfully took through 20 levels and cried when they died.”
“One other thing is the music is the same all the way through the game. Sometimes you don't hear it because the mission fits the music, but once you get into the next mission, you realize it's the same song. A few more tracks could be nice.”
“Voice acting is terrible, music is the most generic electro guitar tune on repeat, controls are bad (use WASD and mouse together!), story incoherent and ridiculous, graphics are OK but soldiers look truly hideous with small bodies and huge ugly heads.”
“The low-rent intro sequence kicks things off and before you know it, you're awkwardly shifting your troops around to an ill-conceived metal soundtrack while taking orders from a general who is clearly voiced by a British man sitting in a biscuit tin occasionally doing an American accent.”
