*** Commandos: Origins ***

I loved the original, I hope the new one is just as good or better. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun scratched the same itch (still got Desperadoes to play)

yeh, turns out i have Desperados 3, Shadow Tactics: BotS and Partisans 1941 still to play too

Don't forget about Shadow Gambit, also from the makers of BotS. Sadly it was their last ever game.

You're in for a treat my friend! I've never heard of Partisans 1941... just gone ahead and bought it in the Steam sale, thanks!

Ah yes, I knew there was one more! Do you know why they shut down? Such a shame and surprising as their games are so good and popular!

Yeah, it's a real shame. Seems they were struggling a lot with work-life balance and the stress of getting projects out the door.

aye, blog post about it here

had Shadow Gambit on my Steam wishlist for a while now too.

Oh wow, I'd forgotten about this style of games. How do they hold up now? Sometimes older strategic games have clumsy interfaces with loads of menus

Thanks for that, it's good to know that the developers who want to continue doing this work are being supported to do so. Maybe someone will pick up the IPs later on because as we've all said it's quite popular and there will always be fans for more of that content

Right ow Sir.. Yes Sir.. Coming right over Sir!

Looking forward to this, I loved the originals.

All depends on whether it is being marketed to consoles as well, and he level on control dumbing down that would entail.

at the bottom of their website opening page it has symbols for PS5, Xbox Series S / X, Game Pass and PC.

So i assume it will be released for all.

Oi caaaaaaaaaarnt!

A demo has just been released , i'm not able to get on gaming PC at the moment but looking forward to having a look asap.

Please share your thoughts anyone who has tried

13GB download/23GB HDD space for a demo. Seems a bit ludicrous.

 

[Josh]

Runs well, looks great.

Bloody big download size for a demo, will get some more time on it tomorrow.

 

[VincentHanna]

Can't get an audio from the demo. Everything else working fine.

Loved the original games but not sure I have the patience these days for it.

I think the same. Loved playing these for hours into the wee hours. Now? Can barely stay up past 22h .

Worth giving the demo a go though.

 

[Subzero85]

will defo give the demo a try, strange that its coming out this year it says but no official release date yet.

 

[platypus]

Ok I finished the demo. @Rroff its well worth a play through, its an easy ~15 minute mission .

It actually strikes me as a game I'll be able to dip in and out of, so I think I'll be getting it. It looks gorgeous and runs on my crappy pc.
