Overview

Commandos lets the player control a unit of a British special forces, tackling various missions set during World War II (Concept). The game is viewed from an isometric perspective and stretches over 20 missions. Each missions features several or all (depending on the mission) specialists and varying goals. The enemy soldiers roam around the maps, control specific areas and follow patrol lines. The player is prone to avoid enemy contact. Thus, a cone of vision follows the enemy soldiers around and the player is advised to sneak around and hide. The game is more a stealth than an action game, and careful planning is usually the best way to succeed. The individual units have unique abilities and like in a puzzle game, the maps offer obstacles which can only be tackled by the respective units.
