Commander Keen V: The Armageddon Machine takes off where Commander Keen 4 ended. You have traveled to the Shikadi's Omegamatic space station. You must fight your way past the robots and Shikadi soldiers in order to bust up their ship to stop it from destroying the galaxy.

The controls are the same as the previous Commander Keen. You can run, jump, pogo, climb, and shoot. You collect gems to open closed off areas, flip switches to activate platforms, and use keycards to open airlocks. This game is a bit more difficult than Commander Keen 4, but still a whole lot of fun.

Music

There is a bit more music in Commander Keen 5 than 4. The music is still playful and fun, although there are a few darker tracks to fit with the more complex levels. Just like the previous game, anyone who has played Keen 5 for any length of time will remember the catchy music and hum along. The original music was written in MIDI format and then downgraded to IMF. A couple of the original higher quality MIDI files are included in the rip download.

The IMF files were ripped from the Huffman compressed Audio.CK5 file, using the look up stored in the LZ Compressed EXE file. The IMF music was played with AdPlug 1.7, and recorded with Winamp. The order of the music files matches the order in the game rip. The music titles come from various sources including an archive by John Romero, the MIDI files from Bobby Prince's archive, and the Meta Data from Bobby Prince's archive.
