These puzzles can be head-scratchers leading to many deaths and thus many failures. Though guns, bombs, and knives are weapons in your toolkit, the scenarios play more like puzzles than shooting galleries. I regularly found myself blindly crawling around and knocking out Nazis around the map without the assurance that I was on the right track. Some may prefer this, but I enjoyed the tailored maps of the Mimimi-developed titles since they naturally guided me towards the main objectives. Levels are designed pretty openly, leaving the angle of approach in the hands of the player. Objectives are detailed in the intro to each mission and displayed in the pause menu, and yet I found it difficult to keep track of them. As the game progresses, you’ll be introduced to more and more characters that will expand your options for completing each objective. For instance, the Sapper is a British demolitions expert detecting enemy mines and deploying mines of his own the Green Beret is your typical All-American muscle who can dish as much damage as he can take the Thief is fast, agile, and limber, with tools up his sleeve to get in and out of places undetected. Each of your characters specializes in a certain niche. As a real-time tactics game, most of the experience revolves around creatively problem-solving enemy dense zones by carefully dispatching unlucky soldiers while avoiding detection from their ever-present view-cones. The premise of Commandos 2 is simple: you play as a small set of uniquely skilled Allied commandos infiltrating bases and thwarting Nazis.
#DESPERADOS III SWITCH PC#
Unfortunately, outdated design, poor controls, and poor quality of life features sabotage this PC classic. So when I learned Commandos 2-one of the most influential titles in this subgenre-was being remastered by Yippee Entertainment! and being ported to Switch, I knew I had to try it. I absolutely loved Desperados III, as well as Mimimi’s previous outing in the genre: Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. The stealth focused real-time tactics games of PC have experienced a bit of a comeback in recent years, with developer Mimimi Games’ Desperados III making a big splash at the tail end of 2020.
