Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood
Even more prettier, but also easy as fuck.

>>4042872

Silent Storm is nothing like Commandos, it's closer to Jagged Alliance if anything.

There's Desperados, that Robin Hood game, Shadow Tactics (apparently, I didn't play it) and that's pretty much it.

>What is the closest thing to Commandos today?

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.
Objectively the best game in this genre bar Commandos 2.
The game is built on the Desperados/Robin Hood line of design, though. No inventories, nor insides of buildings.

Great soundtrack, appropriate graphics, good story, well-designed levels,... Heck, even /v/ played and liked it. And you know just how hard it is to get /v/ to actually play game sinstead of talking bullshit.

>Commandos 2 better than 1

nah

>>4043471
what about Beyond the call of duty? just more of the same

Laser Squad

>>4043495

many people claim it's harder, but I find that the new abilities give you a lot of freedom to exploit the AI

Signal Ops. It's in first person and you control a squad of agents who all have dedicated special abilities. It's not exactly like commandos, but it's what Commandos would be if it was in first person.
I know about Commandos: Strike Force, but it's not a legit strategical game like og Commandos is

>>4042871
Stealth-oriented real-time tactics. Or just Real-Time Tactics (RTT).

Someday I will make a spiritual secuel.

It was still nowhere near as exploitable as commando's 2.

Can we all agree Commando's 3 was a mistake?

I couldn't even get through 2 tbqh.

Something about the control scheme and the 3d, it's just feels so... floaty and sloppy.

I have a question that's ungoogleble. When you get detected, the Krauts may shout something that sounds a bit like "ICEVELETTA". I've had some German, but can't figure this phrase out. Anyone?

>>4044857
That's EASY

Hahaha nice attempt.

This, I was fascinated with Commandos as a kid, played it quite a bit (especially the demo). Then I got two and expected the same but no... it feels more like playing a severely difficult RTS with a few units instead of playing a precise puzzle-action game.

>Commandos 1
Fun but hard as balls, very long too. That mission were you have to destroy the coastal guns took a week to solve.

>Commandos 1 expansion
The missions are huge, especially the one on the trainyard. The new commands make the game a lot easier. Buggy as hell.

>Commandos 2
Improved on the original on every way. Introduced an inventory system and internal environments. It's the easiest game in the series, though.

>Commandos 3
Transitioned to true 3D, it looks the prettiest, but it's very short. The difficulty rises up from the previous game, due to fucking TIMED MISSIONS. Fuck them, fuck them to hell.

>Commandos Strike Force
Let's see:
>Was an FPS for no reason, despite being a series of isometric strategy games
>Reduced the cast to green beret, sniper and spy
>Had terrible graphics for 2005 standards
>Bland as hell level design
>Killed the series altogether
I don't know what the developers were smoking when they made this piece of shit, this game managed to screw up on every way possible

Realtime tactical?

Syndicate and Cannon Fodder were similar.

Do these games have co-op? Steam says they have co-op, but what kind of co-op?

>>4045079
>Had terrible graphics for 2005 standards
That is Spanish gamedev.

>>4042871
I saw it in mags and hated it when i finally played it. Had great fun with swat 2 though

They're usually labeled as Real-Time Tactics, though that genre encompasses quite different games as well.

Desperados, Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood and Chicago 1930 are most similar in gameplay to what you're looking for. All are worth playing. There was also Star Trek: Away, but I've never tried that.
Fallout:Tactics is similar enough.

Can't think of any more, but it's quite enough to keep you occupied.

Sherwood is much more fun if you play it as non-lethal as possible. The game gives you a "enemies spared" score at the end, the best I managed to get is 75% and I remember feeling proud, that took a lot of extra work.

actually one of the fastest and funnest missions if you go grab the tank right away

I wasn't prepared for such display of AI cruelty

>>4043014
Plus Chicago 1930 and Star Trek: Away Team, allegedly.
