Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines 
Save
One of the best RTS games in PC history is yours for less than $3Feb 13, 2024 - PCGamesNWhich 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.

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 minerals by tapping on a unit card to summon them to the battlefield, then you can tap on a hex to move units around and attack enemies. Once you've deployed a unit you have to wait a few seconds to deploy another. With a harvester sucking up surplus minerals this cooldown period is actually your big tactical limit—I sometimes find the wait agonising as I'm waiting to play a counter to something my human opponent is fielding. There are a few other features, like a special ability that lets you throw down a turret (this is particularly good for blocking units, and they mince up infantry), but I mainly enjoy the game because each base has multiple points of weakness. Instead of capturing the nuke you can neutralise the nuke capture points using cheap fodder units and instead send base-busting warriors directly to the enemy's building. Or you can go after your opponent's harvester to deny them access to late-game units and then mass produce your own. Units slot into rock-paper-scissor arrangements—the RTS cycle of death—this time presented as infantry vs. vehicles vs. planes. The strongest units (often massive death bots) are strong against multiple unit types. Inevitably, you receive these as rare drops from the game's loot boxes, which I have so far received regularly every three or four games. Games are really short, too. I can finish my nuclear war before the kettle has boiled. Remarkably there is an element of micro too, as much as my stupid thumbs can manage. Terrain and the cramped area around the nuke itself means that positioning is important and there are chokepoints to clog up with cheap 10-mineral infantrymen. I wish there was a way to manipulate my units' pathing once I've set a destination though, because that would stop my base-killing rocketeers from ambling right through the middle of a crowded battlefield. I'm quite sold on the game itself, but I have reservations about how the microtransactions will affect balance in the long term. Microtransaction-driven mobile games love to give yo...Wot I Think Commandos: Behind Enemy LinesJul 13, 2018 - Rock, Paper, ShotgunCommandos: 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 CommandosJul 12, 2018 - EurogamerTropico 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'Jul 12, 2018 - PC GamerCommandos: 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: Strike Force, as well as Pyro Studios’ other titles Imperial Glory and Praetorians. I didn't play any of those myself—I was Red Alert through and through—but I'd love to hear from those of you who did in the comments below. Here's Simon Hellwig, Kalypso founder and global managing director, on the acquisition: "We have great respect for what the Pyro Studios team have accomplished and created throughout the history of the studio. Therefore, we see it as our responsibility to want to revive and further develop these beloved games for the fans around the world. "Of course, this will include the development of a completely new games for all platforms, but also an extensive adaptation of the existing titles for contemporary technologies and platforms." And here's Ignacio Pérez, founder of Pyro Studios: "We have been looking for a suitable partner for the continuation of our products and brands for a long time. Kalypso has great expertise and experience with rebooting well-known titles, and we are delighted to have our IP in such good hands."

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. - JamesAnnouncement for Windows 10 UsersAug 3, 2015 - Community AnnouncementsHi, It has come to our attention that unfortunately, the Commandos series will not run on Windows 10.
