Our take on Eye of the Commando
Rather than placing a traditional dungeon crawler in a fantasy basement, the game shifts its grid-based exploration to an island terrorist fortress. Its deliberate turns also apply to enemies, environmental hazards, and projectiles, while instant player bullets create an unusual contrast within the tactical structure.
What is Eye of the Commando?
Raid an island fortress in a turn-based dungeon-crawling adventure styled after 1980s action films.
Movement follows a four-direction grid with 90-degree turns, while combat uses alternating turns for the player and enemies. The environment and hostile projectiles also advance one tile at a time, giving each move a tactical role; the player's bullets travel immediately. Explore handcrafted maps containing puzzles, concealed areas, switches, traps, teleport tiles, conveyor belts, and loot.
Find equipment on the battlefield, improve armor, collect boots, and modify weapons with attachments to shape a build. The campaign begins with a beach assault and continues into an increasingly dungeon-like volcanic stronghold. The game combines first-person dungeon exploration with a third-person presentation and emphasizes combat, discovery, and collecting enemy drops.
