Commandos: Origins revives the classic real-time tactics formula with a modern twist, placing players in control of an elite World War II squad known for daring, behind-enemy-lines operations. The game stands out with its detailed environments, strategic stealth mechanics, and diverse character abilities, allowing for creative problem-solving and multiple paths to mission success. With 14 missions spread across global war zones and the ability to play solo or in two-player co-op, it delivers a solid mix of challenge and variety. The game's visual presentation and voice acting are strong, helping to immerse players in its gritty, covert atmosphere.
Despite its strengths, the game isn't without flaws. Some missions can feel repetitive over time, and a clunky save/load interface detracts from the otherwise polished experience. That said, for players new to the genre, or those unfamiliar with the legacy of the original Commandos games, it offers a surprisingly accessible and rewarding entry point. Taking a patient, thoughtful approach to each level is key, and when done right, the gameplay can feel deeply satisfying and well-earned.
