Just finished my play-through of this on Youtube (link at end of review for anyone interested in seeing a gameplay sample before buying) and quite enjoyed it! If you've played Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, then you know what to expect here: more point-and-click stealth action from a top-down perspective, where you take teams of WW2 commandos (each with their own skills, weapons and abilities) on missions against the Axis forces. Compared to its predecessor, Behind Enemy Lines, Beyond the Call of Duty feels like a definite step up in quality. This is mainly due to the implementation of a lot of finer details. Some of these consist of extra gameplay mechanics for your commandos to utilise (such as throwing cigarette packs to distract enemies, through to knocking out enemies, taking them captive and having them do your bidding, to name a couple of exmaples). Other added details are more atmospheric, such as background music and ambient SFX to bring maps more to life than was the case in Behind Enemy Lines. There's also a definite step up in challenge, which players of Behind Enemy Lines will particularly note. Whilst Beyond the Call of Duty only has 8 missions (compared to 20 in Behind Enemy Lines), the difficulty in these levels ramps up much more quickly. Not too hard, but there will definitely be moments which will make you scratch your head and ponder how to sneak through the enemy patrols. My advice: if unsure, keep saving regularly and start trying out different abilities until something sticks. Are there any negatives? Only one or two minor ones. Firstly, using explosives to blow things up can be a little finicky in certain missions. Namely, the first mission of the game requires you to blow up a lighthouse - make sure to save before you do so, as I found that I had to position the explosives in a particular spot to get it to work. Secondly, being an older game, sometimes the pathing of your commandos can be a bit awkward if there are slight obstacles in their way. But these are fairly minor issues and don't detract much from the overall experience. So, to sum up, Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty is a great instalment in the Commandos franchise and is well worth playing if you're a fan of WW2 stealth games. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SkYgwf_xSlA&list=PL05Yc3_TEBpPTwdCIHnk9edNNKen1ydfY&index=1

This was my childhood game, although I cracked it back then. I didn’t dare to play it at the time, just sat and watched my dad play. Back then, I was like his biggest fan. Now I can afford to buy the full version of this game and confidently play it, but unfortunately, he’s no longer here to see it. I bought this game to play again and to keep some memories of my childhood. I wish he were still alive to play this game with me.

Legendary game. Expansion of the first Commands game. Seems harder but game is maybe easier because you can throw cigarettes and lure/kill guards like that. Positives: - Greatest realistic graphics for 1998. Graphics still hold up in 2024, they were mind blowing in 1998. - Gameplay was tactical, stressful and satisfying. All the commandos were good and could clear small areas by themselves. Green Beret maybe was/is overpowered. - Memorable missions that ended in a plane escape, truck escape, tank escape etc. Negatives : - Has some negatives in quality of life because its a 1998 game but to be honest if we judge it for that time period 1998-2000 it was flawless and a big achievement and i think the first big well made tactical game like this. So in conclusion no negatives.

As the new title (under the name Origins ) is being developed and set to release this year, I thought I'd revisit the classics. I didn't have much success with Destination Berlin as it simply crashed whenever launched, but it was fun checking out the very first episode and its expansion. Beyond the Call of Duty was released a year after the original Commandos . How many of you remember those times? With expansion packs, not DLCs. Strategy games often had one before the sequel came out. The expansion has 8 missions and already the first one is very difficult. How many of you made the mistake of not keeping 2 sniper bullets till the end to shoot the mine? This is important otherwise we cannot secure the escape route. What I like about the expansion pack (and this is what was continued in episode 2) is how we can use stones and cigarettes to distract enemies with pretty much each soldier. And punching them is an additional fun as you can get a pacifist rank during the evaluation if you complete the mission without any kills. Interestingly, there are now easy, medium and hard difficulty settings. Easy is already tough so imagine playing on hard with even more patrolling soldiers present. I had no issues with running this game on Win 11 and doing just the first mission. It's a timeless classic and if you can't wait till Origins gets released pick this one up and have some fun.
