Our take on Commandos: Origins
Instead of centering on large armies and open battles, the game follows a six-person squad on planned missions. Its structure focuses on infiltration, combining specialist skills, and coordinating actions against fortified targets.
What is Commandos: Origins?
Commandos: Origins follows the formation of a six-person elite unit during World War II.
Players control the Green Beret, Sapper, Sniper, Driver, Marine, and Spy, using their different skill sets to infiltrate facilities, sabotage targets, carry out rescues, and complete other missions. Environments range from the Arctic and African desert to European coastlines and the Eastern Front. Players can sneak, climb, drive vehicles, or hide as they pursue mission goals. More than 10 missions include core and voluntary objectives, and players can coordinate actions simultaneously to overcome fortified targets. The game also supports two-player cooperative play online or through local split-screen.
