IGN journalists got a chance to review the tactical stealth game Commandos: Origins from Claymore Game Studios and Kalypso Media and published their impressions.

Here's What We Know

The author of the preview was extremely pleased with Commandos: Origins. He noted that the developers retained all the advantages of the cult first parts of the series, which were at the peak of popularity in the late 90s and early 2000s.

Players are again expected to perform complex sabotage operations against the army of the Third Reich and their allies, and in order to make everything successful, it is necessary to take into account a huge number of factors and be ready for unexpected situations.

Thanks to the excellent technical execution and modern options, the game will appeal not only to old fans of the series, but also to those who are getting acquainted with it for the first time.

Commandos: Origins is a complex, challenging and addictive game with no auto-saves and the death of even one squad member leads to mission failure. IGN's journalist was impressed by the satisfaction that comes from intelligently executing a complex plan and multifaceted tactical manoeuvres.

The pure satisfaction that tactical games give is seeing a risky plan come together. Commandos: Origins certainly gives birth to many such moments - even after my crushing defeats. So far, Claymore Game Studios' project makes a compelling case for a Commandos revival, and this could be the beginning of the return of an exciting and satisfying tactical series.

The developers paid a lot of attention to the AI of the enemies, so they act coherently, competently and don't let the player down with his mistakes, and excellent stealth mechanics allow for complex operations.

IGN journalist is sure that fans of tactical games will highly appreciate Commandos: Origins.

When We Can Expect It

Commandos: Origins will be released on April 9 on PC and Xbox and PlayStation consoles of both current generations, the novelty will immediately appear in the Xbox Game Pass catalogue.
