The verdict
Deep, rewarding WWII real-time stealth tactics classic with great maps and music, but the Steam version is dated, with clunky controls and launch/crash problems on modern Windows. Skip it if you want it to just work.
Great for
Patient tactics fans and Commandos veterans who enjoy planning stealth ops and don't mind tinkering with fixes
Main risk
May not launch or may crash on Windows 10/11, and the controls and tutorial are hard to learn
What players love
Varied commandos and many ways to play
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
“Good gameplay, many unique ways to do the missions. Variety of Commandos each playing differently.”
