They proved to be extremely popular among more patient players due to their high degree of difficulty and challenge. The Bridge over the River Kwai mission is one of the highlights of this game.įor anyone not instantly familiar with Commandos, it was a series of isometric RTS games that started in the late 1990s starting an elite group of soldiers in World War II who took the toughest assignments, usually taking on missions loosely - and sometimes very closely, in the special case of Commandos 2 - based on popular war movies. Up until now, the original release of Commandos 2 required a number of mods in order to even boot up, and even then, looked pretty wonky on modern HD widescreen displays. I was very excited for finally getting a version of my most relished games that was easily playable on modern machines as I was during E3, and the final version comes through for sure. Out of these, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is probably the newest one and most faithful to Commandos, to almost even a fault.Īdmittedly, having nostalgia for anything doesn’t guarantee it being any good these days, and after playing Kalypso Media’s HD re-release of Commandos 2, I can only find it that it’s still the same nail biting game that it’s always been. Its influence can’t be overstated as it touched countless strategy games that have come out in the 20 years that followed since its original release. If you’ve been reading Entertainium long enough, you’ve probably seen me profess my love for Pyro Studio’s seminal RTS game. Commandos 2: Men of Courage is bar none my favorite PC game of the early 2000s.
