Commandos 2 puts you in the shoes of a crack squad of operatives during the second world war. If anything, it runs very smoothly, and I’m impressed by how the control scheme has been adapted to a dual stick approach – considering Commandos is a heavily cursor-based game.īut before I get into that, some background. The game had some issues with regards to bugs, but let me put your mind at ease, and report that I didn’t encounter any issues of that kind with the Switch version. I was also curious to try out the remaster since it received such a stony reception when it released on PC back in January.
Considering all of this, I was pretty excited to try out the Switch version of the Commandos 2 HD Remaster. The very fact that Commandos 2 has ‘action sequences’ is pretty indicative of how different it is to Behind Enemy Lines – a game where the idea of any prolonged action was pretty much impossible.īut Commandos 2 went way beyond, giving you groups of infantry to command, and using overwatch to create lines of fire during its exciting base defence sections.
Ideas like overwatch, for example, which become a key component in the game’s many action sequences. What’s more, Commandos 2 is one of the most memorable real-time tactics games for the way it adapts turn-based ideas. The game introduced new characters, vehicles, weapons, indoor sections, and movement/platforming elements. I was pretty young at the time, but I remember it being one of my first experiences with a real-time tactics game, and just how much it built and improved upon almost every aspect of Behind Enemy Lines. Even 19 years after its original release, Commandos 2 remains an absolute classic.
