Even if they are not everyone’s cup of tea when it comes to control or difficulty because of how much Kalypso, Yippee, and Torus Games are not touching, these remasters are doing their job and helping to preserve and revive interest in two series that may have fallen to the wayside eternally otherwise.Ĭommandos 2 – HD Remaster and Praetorians 2 – HD Remaster are maintaining the RTS series just as players remember them, simply updating their looks and UI to be slightly more accommodating. Praetorians – HD Remaster also exemplifies what these remasters are: welcome rivivals of old school RPGs. In the RTS scene where the same mechanics and settings are often retreaded, Praetorians – HD Remaster should serve as a breath of fresh air. Even though it may be a bit slower than many modern RTS fans may prefer, Praetorians excels when it comes to unit versatility and the emphasis on building. While the game isn’t anything breathtaking by modern standards and even a little time consume, I am still charmed by its Roman setting and variety of units. Praetorians – HD Remaster is a bit more cut and dry than the one for Commands 2: Men of Courage, but it still looks more polished than the original and features a few UI enhancements. With this, Command and Conquerremasters, and a brand new Commandos on the way, the next few years look like they will be very good to fans of RTS games set in World War 2. Commandos 2 – HD Remaster was the more robust of the two remasters and will likely draw in the most interest when it releases later this year. If they match what the trailer shows though, they will be sure to provide Commondos 2 in the beautiful way many fans probably remember it. Models look crisper than ever, though I didn’t get a great look at the remastered backgrounds as they weren’t ready for E3. Commandos 2 will still be the tough RTS that it was back in the day, but theses addictions should at least make playing a smoother experience. The biggest enhancements come in the from of a new UI and a better camera, which fix two of the biggest sore spots of the original release. Not much seems to be changing about the Commandos 2 you know and love in the remaster outside of the updated graphics and a few quality of life improvements.

The release of Commandos 2 – HD Remaster and Praetorians – HD Remaster later in 2019 will also get me excited for the eventual continuation of the series, which Kalypso Media is also promising is in the works.Ĭommandos 2: Men of Courage was first released for PC in 2001 and was beloved by fans back then.From what I saw in my hands-off demo, Commandos 2 – HD Remaster plans on keeping all of what made the original release great intact. While they lack the astounding additional improvements that something like Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition has, the fact that both games are becoming even more polished and are being brought up to snuff for current hardware is certainly commendable. After having checked out both of Kalypso’s remasters at E3 2019, they seem to be proper upgrades that will draw fans of the long-forgotten franchises back in while also introducing them to a whole new generation of RTS players.
Not only was the curtain pulled back on the excellent looking Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition, but Kalypso Media pulled back the curtain on the previously confirmed remasters of classic strategy games Commandos 2: Men of Courage and Praetorians as well. In 2005, the game was bundled together with Commandos 3: Destination Berlin as part of the Commandos Battle Pack by Feral Interactive.This E3 was quite good for fans of older strategy games. While the PC version of the game was well received, the console versions received less favourable reviews. The game features several improvements to the gameplay from its predecessor, including the ability to use enemy weapons and explore interior locations, the inclusion of three new commandos, a number of new skills for the original six members along with their other abilities, and new pieces of equipment to help overcome the enemy. The game sees players taking control of a squad of commandos, along with various allied units, as they sneak behind enemy lines to accomplish various missions in World War II, between 19, that will help them to thwart the war efforts of the Germans and the Japanese. It is a sequel to Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines and the second installment of the Commandos series, and is the only strategy game of the series to be designed not only for Microsoft Windows, but also for PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Commandos 2: Men of Courage is a real-time tactics video game, developed by Pyro Studios, published by Eidos Interactive, and released on September 20, 2001.
