Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
40 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gameplay is where this one truly shines, and it's a real shame this genre of real-time tactics hasn't grown a lot bigger, and aside from a few spiritual successors, the market has been pretty empty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
34 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
As I mentioned, the graphics have aged beautifully, and still look great.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
What makes Commandos so memorable is its commitment to difficulty and realism.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The soundtrack, composed by Mateo Pascual, enhances the tension perfectly—combining military marches, subdued strings, and occasional bursts of intensity that mirror the ebb and flow of stealth and chaos.
Linux compatibility
Players who bring up Linux compatibility mostly praise it.
4 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also it's running smoothly on Linux for me
