See folks, pray Shadow Tactics 2 s real and bringing 5-man co-op to the table, fingers crossed for "next" Desperados game too, since when THQ Nordic picked it up. These bunch of peeps re-released a lot of classics from THQ's back catalogue, future knows best hehe

I found a old game that is similar in the isometric aspect. Is in german. The game is: High Noon Gold City

Screenshots here: https://www.old-game...shots/7310.html

Well, try:

- Jagged Alliance 2.

- Chicago 1930.

- Gorky 17.

[Zakxaev68]

Do yourself a favor. Chicago 1930 and Gangsters: Organized Crime have to be must-play for RTT lovers.

[Jeroen]

Gangsters Organized Crime is only partly an RTS, mostly planning (or looking at a city's map). Plus it looks like the game Heist i.e. it looks like dogshit.

 

Korea: Forgotten Conflict, like mentioned on prev. page, is very good.

[carlost800]

What about:A little big adventure

The creator of Shadow Tactics Blade of the Shogun also was inspired by it.

I found that this game: "Z" from 1996 for ms-dos, the character have a voice really similar to the voice of Green Beret, when he speak: "Yes Sr"

You can probably follow creator on reddit by his username. Game looks solid, we will see how it will develop.

[Sancho Perez]

What about War Mongrels, released in 2021 ? It's a true Commandos-like.

[AndrewT]

I'm trying to collect all the relevant games in our beloved genre mainly with their objectively, sometimes subjectively comparable attributes. I haven't had the chance the play all of them to gain all the details I wish, so this is a very early-days state.

Update: 2023-01-26, Codename Süßkartoffel updated as Shadow Gambit

@andrewT

 

You can add Frigato: Shadows of the Caribbean -

 

Also, I think to some degree Men of War series are kinda similar. Starting from Soldiers: Heroes of World War II onwards - I love this game. I hate that last games from that series focused mostly on multiplayer and campaign missions were mostly just taking control over certain parts of the map :(

[AndrewT]

@Felo: Thanks for mentioning Frigato, I didn't know it even existed. Tried out the demo on Steam, I can't say that I'm impressed, but being only in early access stage, it has the chance to improve. Soldiers Heroes of WW2 / Faces of War / Men of War are very close to my heart as well, and when I have to describe them to those that do not know, I usually say they are the lovechild of the Commandos and Blitzkrieg series. Belong to both of them and neither of them at the same time, something really unique. Maybe it would be a good idea to have a checklist specifying the mandatory attributes these kind of games have, like "bird's eye view", "real time", "stealth tactics" and many more.

[Felo]

@AndrewT,

 

Yeah, Frigato does look rough for the time being. We will see how it turns out in the end.

 

As for Men of War series, personally i love the most the first one - Soldiers. I think it is the closest to Commandos. Later games gave way more automation for the troops, as I recall.

 

Overall we all should be glad that the RTT genre is making a comeback for the last few years and we got some really great games.

[Jeroen]

Soldiers Heroes of WW2 / Faces of War / Men of War are very close to my heart as well, ...

 

I searched for "Outfront" after reading this, remembering that name from a forum. SHoWW2 is AKA "Outfront 1" apparently, see this:

https://steamcommuni...52451565100140/

 

Also Outfront 2 and 3 are mentioned there. Have you ever come across those? I have the one called Silent Heroes, not sure where it fits in that time line. But it's great.
