“Loved the original back in the day, and am loving this one. Only 3 missions in but having so much fun I wanted to speak up while it was still on sale. Maps (so far) have been large and open ended with tons of options/…”
“I love this game, if you are a fan like me of the commandos series, this one it probably the best. I love multiple actions at the same time. Can wait for more DLC.”

“Before buying this game I first wanted to remember myself the first part - Beyond the Call of Duty - 20 years after I stopped playing it. I wanted to feel this climate and nostalgia again. So I passed all this game and…”

“I liked the game very much. The game does have bugs, and handles the the inside enviorments in a pretty cluncky way. That being said, i enjoyed it a lot. The bugs werent game breaking or too annoying for me. The game…”

“As a newcomer to the Commandos series (someone who never played the classic titles made by the original developers, Mimimi Studios) this is a great real-time-strategy game, as well as a decent revival of the series. In…”

“Game is great. It's so immersive for me and i could put hundreds of hours in it, but it's not even close to Commandos 2. It's like commandos 'from ali express' if you compare it to Commandos 2”
“Great game. 46 hours so far. Could use some more variety with killing people or maybe I just have not seen it yet. I basically use the green berets sonar and they walk into a bear trap. Also the ability to look into a…”

“I realize that comparing this game to Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun, Desperados 3, and Shadow Gambit Cursed Crew is a bit unfair, but the comparison kept coming up in my mind as controls, UI, and gameplay elements…”
“DLCs in a game with many bugs. The camera is broken too. It was adapted from a game that had no interiors (Shadow Tactics, all their new games are based on that), to a game with multilevel interiors, making interior…”

“Busted, buggy and broken, the typical BBB game. It looks nice on the outside but once you wanna refine your movements and commandos tactics, that is where the games starts to show the lack of polish and control”
“- AI is stupid even on highest difficulty - Cannot finish mission Operation Aries because of crash in the end - A lot of grafic bugs and glitches - multi-platform missions are annoying - fix that game because it's shame”

“30 fps even on low settings is ridiculous for a 40 dollar game. It will spike to 55 in menu sometimes, but in game it hold a constant 30 no matter what setting I change.”
“I heard about this game and was waiting for the bug fixes. On 28th April 2026, developers released the 1.6 bug fix patch. After 4 mission in, I can say the game is good, but little bit linear and not optimize properly…”

“It definitely exceeded my expectations, though there’s still room for improvement. I feel some classic interaction elements are missing — like checking boxes, drawers, or enemy equipment/uniforms. One feature I really miss is the ability to hold enemies at gunpoint and force…”
— a player, Steam review · 42 hrs played“As a fan of the original games, I was excited for this one, and it didn't disappoint. It feels just like Behind Enemy Lines but with modern controls. [b]The Pros:[/b] [list] [*]Gameplay: It captures that classic Commandos vibe perfectly. The tactical stealth gameplay is spot on.…”
— a player, Steam review · 76 hrs played“Big fan of the original commandos. I appreciate that this game is trying to harken back more to the original Commandos than Commandos 2. Commandos 2 is the fan favourite so I can see how that would be upsetting to a lot of people. If you're expecting a lot of Commandos 2…”
