I liked those games so much when I was a kid, the strategies you have to do to pass the games were so cool

    I still like those style of games. If you are looking for more of the same, I can recommend Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Same concept, but set in Shogun-era Japan. It’s frequently on sale on Steam and GoG.

      Also Desperados 3, made by the same dev but imo it has slightly better game mechanics and maps. Also, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew comes out next month.

        Ha! I loved Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3. Wasn’t even aware this game existed, thanks a lot!

      +1 When I first saw this game years ago all that came to mind was Commando’s. I still haven’t completed it yet, but anyone who liked Commandos will feel right at home with Shadow Tactics.

        Fyi: Games by mimimi, while play similar to desperados and comandos back in the day, they aren’t exactly the same thought.

        In those games, you can start shooting out in a fire fight if shit hit the fan. Newer games treat it as a puzzle instead and you aren’t allowed to do so because of cool down and limited ammo. Still filling the gap just fine
