- One of the best RTS games in PC history is yours for less than $3 - 13 February 2024
Which kind of RTS do you prefer? Do you like the huge-scale, battle-wide epic, like Command and Conquer and Age of Empires, or the low-key, squad-driven tactics shooter, like Company of Heroes and XCOM 2? A mix is certainly good, but personally, I prefer the latter. You take a small number of maneuverable troops, send them on dangerous missions behind enemy lines, and up the gameplay stakes so that every single decision can mean the difference between life and death. I'd love to see a new Command and Conquer, especially in the retro style of Tiberian Dawn and Red Alert, but one tactics-driven RTS is already making its PC comeback, and now you can own its original, classic outing for less than the price of a sandwich.

- EA's Command & Conquer: Rivals mobile game isn't that bad actually - 10 October 2018
We were all disappointed to see a new Command & Conquer mobile game announced at E3, complete with microtransactions and an odd rendition of Kane. However, having spent some time with the game in alpha, it's a pretty good touchscreen RTS, albeit one sorely lacking any of C&C's quirkiness. Can you really put Red Alert style live action to-camera monologues in a modern App Store game? Probably not, but I'd like to see someone try. You and your opponent each have a base. Between the bases are three capture zones positioned around a nuke launcher. You must hold the majority of the capture zones to slowly power up the nuke, to the point that it sails offscreen and then plunges into the enemy base. Each base can take two nukes (they are gentle nukes) before the game ends. You accrue minerals in regular bursts, and you can speed up your intake by buying a harvester. You spend mi…
- Wot I Think Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines - 13 July 2018
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines turned twenty a couple of weeks ago. My enthusiasm for stealthy team tactics diversions rekindled by the magnificent Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun , I thought it was high time I reacquainted myself with the game that single-handedly established the sub-genre. Is Pyro Studios’ debut offering as maddeningly difficult as I remember? Is it still worth playing? Here’s wot I think. The following two sentences aren’t unconnected. The interior of my fridge’s freezer compartment no longer glitters and my kitchen sink cold tap no longer drips. I’ve been playing Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines all week. (more…)
- Tropico publisher Kalypso acquires rights to classic stealth-tactics series Commandos - 12 July 2018
Tropico publisher Kalypso Media has announced that it's acquired the rights to classic WW2 real-time stealth-tactics series Commandos. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, the first game in the series, launched a slightly frightening 20 years ago, back in 1998 - and, as I'm sure you're all fascinated to hear, was the third game I ever bought for my first PC, a beastly 486DX2, with 8MB of RAM, and a positively cavernous 280MB hard-drive. Commandos challenges players to perform the likes of sabotage and assassination missions, directing their six-strong commando team across a variety of pre-rendered isometric locations - using stealth where possible and only breaking out the guns when absolutely necessary. It's very good, very tough, and my overriding memory is that it made me swear an awful lot. Read more…
- Commandos acquired by Kalypso Media, plans 'completely new games' - 12 July 2018
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines was a WW2-set real-time strategy game that looked a wee bit like Red Alert but was a lot harder. If I remember correctly. That's me casting my mind back 20 years, but a quick glance at its Steam page makes me think I've recalled it right.  Perhaps I'll refresh my memory soon, as Tropico publisher Kalypso Media has "secured all rights to the highly-acclaimed fan-favourite gaming IP".  In a statement, Kalypso talks of developing "completely new games for all platforms" and so-called extensive adaptations of "the existing titles for contemporary technologies and platforms." Which I'm fairly certain means we're in for remasters and new games in their own right.  Kalypso's takeover also nets it the rights to Behind Enemy Lines follow-ups Commandos 2: Men of Courage, Commandos 3: Destination Berlin and Commandos: Strik…

- Announcement for Windows 10 Users - 3 August 2015
Hi, It has come to our attention that unfortunately, the Commandos series will not run on Windows 10. The reason for this is the lack of support for the older version of Direct X used by the game (Version 5) While we continue to look for solutions to bring the Commandos series to more modern platforms, we unfortunately cannot offer any specific time frame for when this may occur due to engine's age. As this is the case, we have two suggestions for anyone attempting to run the game in the Windows 10 environment: 1. Install a virtual machine such as VirtualBox or VMWare and run a virtual environment of Windows XP for improved compatibility. This is recommended but may not solve all issues. 2. If you have played the game for less than two hours, you can claim a refund via Steam. - James
