Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
I’m still missing some achievements but the Steam Awards are here and Shadow Tactics deserves a prize.
Briefly: Shadow Tactics is a real-time stealth tactics game, a true tribute to Commandos games. Instead of soldiers, it’s about ninjas and scheming in feudal Japan. And it fits the concept perfectly.
It’s always a bit daunting to write about a game you love. Shadow Tactics has everything you loved about Commandos games, coming with a modern interface. It’s also a great example that Unity can create truly great games.

I guess all of us have games that we used to love back in the days, but can’t find anything like them on modern market. Times changed and now there are many dead, or half-dead genres and sub-genres. Space simulators, rail shooters… Even real-time strategies and puzzle / point & click adventures aren’t doing well now. Among all that there’s a small RTS sub-genre that was never really big, but still made a lot of loyal fans. I’m talking about Commandos series and its clones. An unique mix of stealth and RTS with revolutionary “cons of sight” system. By controlling group of soldiers with the unique set of abilities, players were supposed to finish different missions in WWII setting. The first two Commandos games (released in 1998 and 2001 respectively) were absolutely brilliant and it felt like their makers, Pyro Studios, are making instant classic. Unfortunately, the third Commandos game wasn’t that popular thanks to many questionable changes in the gameplay, while FPS spin-off called Commandos: Strike Force started the dark times for Pyro Studios. Which switched to casual games soon after that. Commandos series died. But there was another team to keep their spirit alive.

Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines
Background:
Purchased as part of a bundle from Bundle Stars. I played the first two games in the series to death back when they came out.
Impressions:
Commandos stands tall among action strategy games. It was a simple formula: a set of men are dropped into a mission, each with a certain set of skills and using them in concert you dismantle the enemies defences and confound their long term goals.
While the games does lean heavily on the two most useful characters (Tiny and the Spy) the situations force you to think creatively and apart from a few small instances you are completely free to tackle the mission as you see fit.

Hey everyone and this is my review about the game!
This is a Strategy Stealth world war 2 game.
Interface/Menu/Settings
There are some Resolution sizes.
The sound volume has a slidebar.
There is a manual/introduction in the game.
There is a tutorial in the game. (for Each commando and basic)
Multiplayer requires IP and Port Forwarding. THIS STILL WORKS!
About the game.
You play with a couple of commandos and each commando has their own equipment and skills. The game is very difficult by itself and their is even a difficulty level settings too. Just if it is too easy. There are 20 mission/Maps and You have to complete each mission by fulfilling the subjective. Destroying things, to freeing, capturing and so go on. Enemy soldiers/vehicles has an eye of sight which is marked with Dark green and light green. Dark green means you have to crouch or otherwise the enemy unit will see you. Light green he spotted you and could fire on you. Your commandos are able to take hostage by enemy Sergeants (usually patrolling with units). There is a chance that they will rise alarm if they see you, if that happends. You might load game. Because things will get 10x harder if they have raised their alarm. Whenever a mission starts you will be told what you have to do and you get some hints too.

Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
This game… man this game…
The first time I played this game was when I was like 10. For that era, it had the most beatiful graphics i’ve ever seen in any videogame.
The gameplay can be portrayed as a perfect combination of Age of Empires + Paint. Yeah, not kidding. You actually play the game as if it was AoE and when you get into a fight, you draw shit with your mouse to attack. If you draw an inverted & you make an attack that takes time but is sure to fuck up the enemy, but it also takes all your stamina, leaving you defenseless for like 3 seconds.

Commandos 2 - HD Remaster
This game is frustratingly buggy. I love the original and I have tried to look past the bugs of the remaster because, overall, it’s still a good game. the number of bugs seems to keep growing. They fix one, but introduce multiple other ones. This game deserves a “if you really liked the original” handwave icon. It’s definitely a weak yes, but it’s also still good enough to not be a no – because of the original.
The most recent patch did not fix my save game (so I begrudgingly started the level over), but it did allow me to complete the game. However, now the game sometimes locks up when viewing the Bonus book screen (before opening it) and gets stuck with the inventory windows open – the first requiring a full game restart and the second only requiring a reload.

I’m fine with buying the game. But, the developers also made the decision to remove the bad-guy symbols (like the swastika, or the Japanese flag); in a game where you play as the people fighting against the bad guys. “Not buying the game” is an absence of a signal, whereas “thumbs down” is a better signal of disagreement with the artistic decision than if I just left +1 on a thread.
Several of the negative (and positive) reviews of the game frown on the removal of ‘political symbols’. Which would indicate a community disapproval, if it weren’t for:

Project Hunter
Although somewhat buggy, overall this was an enjoyable and addictive stealth/action game with some nice skill-based mechanics.
It was a pleasure to see your alien evolve from a small larva-like creature to a full-grown fire-breathing dragon.
The ending was a bit of rushed though - wish there was more to the story.

For what it is, Project Hunter is a very solid go at making a stealth game playing in the Alien Franchise.
Story: virtually nonexistent. You are an alien specimen that escaped containment, and your goal is to kill all enemies and evolve. I was somewhat annoyed that the opening scrawl was unskippable, but that’s just a minor inconvenience.
Gameplay: Solid, but limited. If you are familiar with the Alien Franchise, you may be perplexed that you start off as a small generic grub rather than the signature facehugger. As a stealth game, your best approach is to always attack enemies from behind, which is a one-hit kill regardless of your form. No particular surprise.

The Dark Stares Back
This man’s cabinets are as empty as my soul.
Its a game about navigating throughout your house while dodging 7 murderous bird cultists for a certain amount of time. Basic but I found it fun, even though I’m a baby when it comes to horror games. The hunter was my bane the entire time I played as I kept retracing my steps and died several times. I don’t know if this was intentional or not, but you can’t pause mid game as far as I know; would really like one!
Other than that I enjoyed my time with this game and I look forward to any future games this developer has in store!

Commandos 2: Men of Courage
As most of the people around the globe would say “the best tactical strategy game of all times”. This game is surely the best around. I’ve played Comandos: Men of Courage countless of times and everytime its like first time. Love the intro’s in beginning of each mission, the story telling takes you deeper in history…
This game by far is the first in list of my favorite games! Pyro studio surely did made a masterpiece, i only wish that more people have played this and i would like to try it online as i never had an opportunity to play against someone.

What other game can you command a squad of elite commandos, be in an 3D simulated isometric world, and explore the world, plus for it to actually be good? Well then, Commandos 2 is the answer you would be looking for.
This game is able to capture that epic feel of being an elite commando, not one, not two, but eight. In a variety of missions all around the world, taking on the Japanese Empire in Asia and the Nazi Forces in Europe. This wide variety of missions are all housed on massive maps, with plenty of ways to tactically go through. As well, each map has bonus content hidden in each one, which unlocks even more maps for the astute players. The level variety, and enemy variety are amazing, with tactics unlimited, as well the music is sublime, unique to each level, and keeps the tone and gravity of the high stakes game of warfightering.

I LOVED the original…Then I played this! The original now sits in that nostalgic corner of my gaming brain never to be played again just thought about with fond memories because when you play the original you’ll be thinking of this!. Well worth every penny and more. I lost two and a half hours on one mission that only felt like half an hour, I also managed to burn my dinner in the process! Ha. The achievements are a very nice touch that gives the game some longevity….Speed running might be a bridge too far for me though! The only negative thing about this game is you get to the end eventually and you’ll want more!. Note to Mimimi…Please take my money and make more content….(pretty please).
