I don't often get hooked on single-player games anymore. So, when Desperados III was released on GamePass, I thought, hey, why not. Commandos 2 was a childhood game in the fullest sense: I loved it for it, and there was no conception of seeking out similar games, because the point was to play Commandos 2, not something else. I never played an earlier Desperados game, even. I did play Shadow Tactics, the first game in this genre from Mimimi, the devs of Desperados III. I was never quick, but I was always methodically, yet bloodlessly, ruthless.* Clearing something like The Giant of Haiphong or Castle Colditz was an exercise in patience unfamiliar to a wee lad more used to shooting things in Dark Forces and caning Zelda for the 1000th time on my N64.įor a long time I didn't play another of these 'Real Time Tactics' (RTT) games. I recall the thrill of finishing a mission after an hour or three, the map picked clean of guards, studiously knocked out and gagged - the game gave a star-rating at the end of each mission, one of the factors being how bloody one was. The thundering music and cries of German and Japanese alarm were contrapuntal with the subtle atmosphere of the hidden spaces and the terse voices of the commandos as they scoured them of guards.
The huge levels, varied biomes and wonderful details are a tapestry in my nerd brain, still. "Special Thanks to my wonderful Mimimis - here's to 10 years of shenanigans together!
