An event believed by many to represent a high point in the series.įast forward to 2020 and Yippee Entertainment (those of Ski Jumping Pro VR fame) have reintroduced Commandos 2 with a fresh lick of paint and some under the hood updates.Īs this is a remake rather than a re-imagining, Commandos 2 HD Remaster remains almost entirely faithful to its 2001 predecessor. Following hard on the heels of the original outing, its developers Pyro Studios released Commandos 2: Men of Courage in 2001. When Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines was first published way back in 1998 the game met with huge critical and commercial success. But was the wait worth it? Read on dear friend, read on.įirst of all, let’s set the scene. Well, the time finally came when Kalypso Media could unveil Yippee Entertainment’s homage to the RTS king of the nineties.
So, like millions of RTS fans worldwide, I resigned myself to sitting with my calendar in hand, marking off the days and eagerly watching Google Alerts for updates. However, despite watching every version of Back to the Future I was, sadly, unable to produce a working prototype (I couldn’t find a flux capacitor anywhere in the supermarket). About two years ago when I first heard that Commandos: Men of Courage was being given a next gen makeover, I dedicated myself to building a time machine so that I could nip forward a couple of years and try the game out.
