Step into a riveting world of stealth and tactics with the Commandos series, a game collection that's captivated fans for years. Developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive, the franchise plunges you into World War II's most perilous scenarios. From its inception in 1998 with "Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines," to its 2006 iteration "Commandos: Strike Force," each title offers an immersive experience into historical missions with a fictional Allied commando unit at the helm. While the earlier games in the series utilize isometric real-time tactics, the latter entry diverges by embracing first-person shooter elements. The series' evolution introduces varied gameplay, from rotating vantage points to the addition of new characters like a cunning thief and even a dog!
Critics and fans alike have lauded the franchise, particularly applauding "Commandos 2: Men of Courage" for its 3D engine and interactive environments. Yet, the series has not been without its share of criticisms, like the shorter mission lengths in "Commandos 3: Destination Berlin" and the radical gameplay changes in "Commandos: Strike Force," which irked traditional fans. Despite this, the series has sold a remarkable 3.3 million copies, earning $41 million in retail revenue. Plus, the saga continues as Kalypso Media took over the series, releasing remastered versions and hinting at future titles.
