Codename MAT II is an action-packed side-scrolling shooter originally published by Domark in 1987 and later re-released as a budget title by Bug Byte. The game puts players in control of a secret agent navigating hostile environments filled with enemies, traps, and hazards. Fast reflexes and precise shooting are essential to progress through its varied levels.
The game features colorful and detailed graphics characteristic of the Amstrad CPC era, alongside an energetic soundtrack that complements the intense gameplay. Although the mechanics are relatively straightforward, the difficulty curve provides a satisfying challenge.
Amstrad Action reviewed Codename MAT II in Issue 2 (March 1985), awarding it a solid score and praising its fast-paced action and engaging level design, while noting that some players might find the difficulty steep.
