I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Glad to see it plays just like the classic games.
Will keep an eye on it.

I think this is a Gamepass one. Definitely will give it a shot. Really into Shadow Tactics / Desperados but never tried these.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
It does lack the visual flair of the original games, but I want to check it out - we just don't get enough in this genre anymore.

Real sad what happened to them. We need more RTS and RTT games, I know you’re a man of culture who loves this genre also. Desperados 3 was a dope game, loved the first two back in the day as well. Shadow tactics is great also, I have not played the cursed crew yet but I imagine it is very good also.
Will definitely be picking this up.

We could never complete even a single mission of Commandos 2 on our PC back in the days. Then we found out about cheats and so many enemies would keep coming out of the buildings. I used wonder how anybody could play that without cheats.

Commandos 2 was fine difficulty wise, imo.
The expansion for the first game tho, Beyond the Call of Duty... I remember playing the demo level for days and never managed to beat it.

Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 were really great. I hear good things about Cursed Crew but I just really don't like pirates as a setting...

Shadow Gambit was pretty good. You can be upset about SBI having their involvement and making the women the majority of the playable characters, but the gameplay was fine and on the level of their other games. Plenty of cool skills to use, being able to choose your squad was also a nice addition. And the environments looked lovely.

Believe me, SBI stuff or not wouldn't make a difference. There is just something that I don't gel with when it comes to pirates. Ironically, I do like movies like Master & Commander. I.e. where the actual navy is depicted.
But yeah, everything I've heard about Shadow Gambit is positive from a gameplay point of view. Which isn't too surprising. Mimimi knew how to make good "Commandos-likes".
Yea I thought it was just me for a moment but the screenshots you posted demonstrate it clearly.

This was dark souls before Demons Souls was a thing. Some of the most satisfying games.

Yeah, with good use of Unreal Engine 5 they could really make a nice looking game close to the original but in 3D.The graphic doesn' have the charm of the old games.

Will this come to Steam too or it is exclusive to the Microsoft platforms?
Edit - Ok, it's coming to Steam too.

Conversely I really like pirates as a setting, IN PRINCIPLE, but I wasn't really into that cartoony magic-purple-thing they came up with.
Anyway, you can tell from the get go that this is supposed to be a low budget thing and not a genuine effort to match the classics of the series and their gorgeous art style, as

0s post really summarizes.

So Pyro Studios (OG Commandos 1 and 2 devs that are still around) aren't involved in any way in this?Conversely I really like pirates as a setting, IN PRINCIPLE, but I wasn't really into that cartoony magic-purple-thing they came up with.

Didn't they close doors many years ago?
Afaik their last game was an attempt to turn the Commandos games into Call of Duty.

If I recall correctly (this is like a 20 years old news), the most important members of the original team who participated in the development of the first 3 Commandos (including the expansion), left shortly after Commandos 2 because of internal dispute. While Pyro Studios released new games after that, the quality wasn't nowhere near to the level of early Commandos games.

Ah Ok. So the Pyro Studios right now are, very much like Blizzard or Bungie, only Pyro in name.
That's a bit sad.
And yeah, that Commandos FPS game was fucking garbage, lmao.

Third is fine.... But commandos strike force was a strange product... It left me with a strange taste.

I just felt like I could not adapt to 3, going from 1 to 2 was a breeze... I could never get the feel of 3.. none of my hotkeys I was used to would work and it bugged me.
