Loved this series (including the FPS spinoff), I remember being terrible at the first 2 original games as a kid and had to rely on cheats, but it was still a fun time. Cautiously optimistic for the potential of these, especially recent games like Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun shown that you can still do tactical stealth strategy games like these pretty well.

Commandos 2 is one of my favorite games, I hope that they can do the series some justice.

Hot diggity dog, I loved the commandos series and played it with my dad as a kid.

Also it's hilarious in multiplayer because I've pulled off so many high-risk moments with a harpoon gun and yelling at my friend "COME MOVE THIS GUY" while he's screaming "NO NO NO NO NO DON'T GO YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SHOOT HIM"

I got into these games because I could play them with my little brother on the shitty laptop we had. We had a lot of fun times with it
