The latest installment in the Commandos action strategy series. Can you complete all the missions?
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin is the fourth game in the popular real-time tactics franchise and the first to use a true 3D engine while bringing various other improvements to the overall gameplay.
A story about true war heroes
As in previous installments, Commandos 3: Destination Berlin follows the missions of a few fictional British Commandos through various historical events during World War II.
This time, there will be only six commandos under your command (the Green Beret, the Sniper, the Marine, the Sapper, the Spy, and the Thief), each with their own unique features and abilities that can shift the outcome of each mission in your favor if used at the right time.
Unlike Commandos 2 that featured a longer single campaign, Commandos 3: Destination Berlin introduces three smaller scenarios that will take you to various iconic locations in Central Europe, Normandy, and Stalingrad.
Tactical strategy taken to the extreme
While gameplay is pretty much the same as experienced in the previous Commandos titles, Destination Berlin comes with an even higher difficulty level that will test the patience and challenge even the most hardcore players.
Missions are quite varied during all three scenarios, but very well tied together, sometimes picking up from where you've previously left. I must say, this is no game for casual players and hardcore fans of the series will surely confirm it, as you can't just go guns blazing killing everyone on sight because in the next second you'll find yourself overwhelmed by enemies and with your entire team killed.
Learning patrol patterns while constantly checking the guard's line of sight might help you spot the perfect opportunity to take down an enemy soldier and hide his body before his comrades discovers you.
It's mostly all about trial and error, and often you'll find yourself restarting a mission after figuring out the perfect approach that could save your team from a lot of trouble.
A challenge hardcore gamers shouldn't miss
The Commandos series is back once more with an even greater challenge that hardcore players will surely enjoy playing. Although the game can become quite frustrating for casual players due to its high difficulty and lack of hotkeys, the feeling of accomplishment after completing a mission is exactly what you need to keep on going.

There are five games in the series, which are listed here in the order they were released:
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines[edit]
Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines (CBEL) was released on 1 July 1998. It was published by Eidos Interactive, and developed by Pyro Studios. It features 20 missions. The view is isometric with tactical gameplay. A Sega Mega Drive/Genesis version of Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines, with the first 5 missions, was also made by Russian homebrew programmers, but lacked sound and certain other features of the PC version.

Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty[edit]
Commandos: Beyond the Call of Duty, a set of new Commandos missions issued as a standalone game, was released on 31 March 1999. Despite it being much shorter than Behind Enemy Lines, it is a much more difficult game containing levels on a far greater scale to the extent of being comparable to those that were to be seen in Commandos 2. It has 8 missions, with locations including Yugoslavia and Greece.
Commandos 2: Men of Courage[edit]
A full sequel, released in 2001, was rebuilt with a 3D engine, more interactive environments, more skills for the commandos, and new characters. Like its predecessor, it drew heavily from war films and titled its levels in reference to such films as 'The Bridge on the River Kwai' and 'Saving Private Ryan'. The game received even greater praise.
Several new characters were added to the series in this sequel: A thief called Paul 'Lupin' Toledo, a dog called Whiskey and Wilson, a shot down pilot claiming to be from the Light Brigade.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin[edit]
This is the third sequel in the series and was released in October 2003. In this game the mouse wheel can be used to rotate the player's vantage point. It was the first in the series to use a true 3D engine. However, the game has been criticized for its short missions and lack of hotkeys.
Commandos: Strike Force[edit]
Released during the first months of 2006, this game marks a diversion from the first three games. Although the missions are set up in a similar fashion (several different objectives, some to be achieved through stealth, others through use of force) and in most occasions the player is allowed to change between different characters, this is the first game in the series to apply a first-person perspective, like many Medal of Honor or Call of Duty games than to earlier entries of the series.
The game attracted an overwhelmingly negative reaction, especially from fans of the earlier games in the series who saw this as a massive modification, concurrent with a great reduction in the series' trademark difficulty. Similarly, it was promoted as mixing elements of strategy from the past games with traditional first-person shooter game-play but instead only hinted them and whilst being predominantly action oriented. As a result, both critics and fans felt it did little to distance itself from the recent flood of similar games.
Music[edit]
The first Commandos game was composed by David Garcia-Morales Inés and other subsequent titles were done by Mateo Pascual. Each of the five soundtrack are made available on iTunes and Amazon.
Mods[edit]
Following the discontinuation of the series by Pyro Studios, a couple of mods have been developed by fans. Commandos: Strike in Narrow Path is a stand-alone expansion for Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines containing 9 missions and was released initially in 2010.[2]Commandos 2: Destination Paris tweaks the gameplay of Commandos 2: Men Of Courage and adds over 100 missions to the base game.[3]
