After 27 years I finally beat this game (stuck on the mission 11 then). Isn't for everyone: static scenarios, old 2D engine (you can't rotate the scenarios), clunky vehicle driving and difficult missions. But it's incredible funny: immersive, real tension moments, and probably the best part: Only few clues to beat the missions (no "yellow lines" o shinning objects to follow). I remember a mission where I had to rescue five resistance soldiers and I lost one of them, I though "ok, the game isn't complaining about this, let me evacuate the survivors" and at the moment of evacuation I receive a big slap: mission failed. Advice: save multiple times before big actions and please, be patient. I'm agree with some reviews here, this is a 99% nostalgic game, probably unplayable for impatient players, but I love it.

Played it as a child, it was one of my favourites even though I wasn't extremely successful in it. One day it popped into my mind as an adult and started playing it again - I still love this game. The characters, the voice acting, the atmosphere, how the missions make you think.

Old school gaming at its best, no tutorials, no hints, no arrows pointing you what to do next, a real challenge especially if you make it to the last few levels. Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines is an enjoyable game even for today's standards. 10/10 recommended.

The launch of the Euro, the Monica Lewinksy scandal, Beckham's red card, Geri leaving the spice girls; 1998 was a pivotal year in cultural terms. It also marked the release of RTS stealth-em-up Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, a game that influenced countless future releases and which proved a surprising commercial success, surprisingly so in countries with a history of fascism. I remember playing this game as a child, and what a difficult game it was. At times overwhelming, frequently infuriating; viewed through the modern lens this game often feels like an exercise in trial and error. Where exactly does the decoy need to be placed to attract the attention of this guard? Do I have time to sneak through this space before the solider's cone of vision washes over the Green Beret? The game does little to assist you and its often a case of try, fail, reload. The quick save key is your most powerful weapon, the clumsy controls your most potent enemy. Stick with it, however, and the satisfaction you obtain from completing a mission is unparalleled, even by modern standards. I returned to this game in the 2020s primarily because of nostalgia. Anxiously waiting for your footsteps to fade in the snow, the crunchy snap of the Sapper's man trap, rationing your sniper's bullets; all fond memories. The game was just a bit too hard for a 12-year-old. Completing it 27 years later was enjoyably cathartic. Would I recommend this game to a new player? Probably not. A veteran might well enjoy returning to the game even if it were for no other reason than to indulge one's sentimentality. 2025
