''Lone Soldier'' is a 1996 action game made for the Platform/PlayStation, following the RunAndGun behind-the-back style made popular by games like ''VideoGame/{{Cabal}}'' and ''VideoGame/BloodBros'' earlier, where you get to play as the titular soldier to pull a OneManArmy on legions and legions of terrorists.

The titular soldier, Hank ([[AllThereInTheManual named in the manual but not in-game]]) is mankind's last hope when a terrorist legion get their hands on an experimental nuke. And as Hank levels his way through entire legions of enemies, he uncovers a far bigger plot involving an extraterrestrial conspiracy...
… wait, what?

!!Lone, Locked and Loaded...
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: In the German release, Hank is inexplicably turned into a {{cyborg}}. He's even depicted as one in the [[https://m.imdb.com/title/tt12794234/mediaviewer/rm2776083457/ cover art]].
* AlienInvasion: The final stage of the game, inexplicably, have aliens suddenly invading earth, and you're dispatched to end it by infiltrating their mothership.
* ArmCannon: The alien leader FinalBoss have these on ''both'' arms, and will use them to spam bullets all over the place.
* BattleshipRaid: After you spent the past few stages in jungles, valleys, urban warzones, the final stage have you inexplicably infiltrating an alien battleship and destroying it from within. Somehow.
* BottomlessMagazines: Your default Uzi can keep on firing ''forever'', without even the need to reload.
* CarryABigStick: The WitchDoctor-turned-monster carries a club larger than you, which he'll use to smash you up.
* CoversAlwaysLie: See that mustachioed fellow that's supposed to be your player character? You look nothing like that in-game.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: You can destroy tanks, walls, armoured bunkers and the like with the default infinite ammo-laden Uzi. By spending several minutes firing at anything destructible in the game (and making it flash to make the player aware of it's status of being hurt) a torrent of 9mm bullets could make buildings not only be destroyed, but destroyed in a giant plume of flame.
* DualBoss: In the urban warzone, you fight a husband-wife BattleCouple of {{Super Soldier}}s. The husband can spam machine gun rounds all over the place as the wife use explosives instead, and can even pull a ShockwaveStomp if you got too near. The single healthbar shown during the boss battle is actually an indication of their collective health, each which they occupied half of.
* EyepatchOfPower: The mercenary boss on the helipad sports one on his left eye, to complete his "Look I'm such a badass" appearance.
* FireBreathingWeapon: You can obtain a flamethrower as one of the commonly available pickups.
* GratuitousNinja: The Urban warzone stage have ninja enemies, clad in masks, and wielding machine-guns, capable of leaping all around the place and far more agile than reguler mooks. In a setting that appears to be Eastern Europe.
* GiantSpaceFleaFromNowhere: Most of the game is a military-themed shooter which have you battling soldiers, tanks, jeeps and the like, save for the first boss - after fighting your way through a tribal village, you then face a WitchDoctor who suddenly assumes a OneWingedAngel form, a twenty-feet tall troll-like monster who tries bashing you in with a massive club and can breath streams of green flames.
* HollywoodNatives: The second area of the first stage have you coming across a hostile tribal village, their members dressed in loincloths, having colourful features in their hair, and attacks by flinging spears and flaming clubs.
* MechaMooks: The alien mothership in the final stage have robotic sentries alongside regular foot soldiers.
* MolotovCocktail: The Urban stage have enemies dressed as punks who sometimes fling petrol bombs at you if you're close enough. Unoike grenades flung by common soldiers, the petrol bombs leaves a burning fire where it hits.
* OneManArmy: The game's title is ''Lone'' Soldier, and you're a single man against entire armies of insurgents.
* SeanConneryIsAboutToShootYou: Using an Uzi!
* WitchDoctor: The tribal village's boss is their local shaman, who [[OneWingedAngel transform himself into a huge horned monster]] to battle you.
