Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines – a tactical strategy with elements of action and stealth in real time. It is dedicated to the events of the Second World War and covers its entire time period (the first sortie dates back to 02/20/1941, and the last – 02/11/1945). Control is given to an elite unit, which, falling behind enemy lines, must destroy opponents without making noise or arousing suspicion, and complete a specific task (destroying signaling devices or other strategically important targets). In total, you have to go through 20 different missions, differing in locations, tasks and the number of people in the squad.

Once in the right place in Commando: Behind Enemy Lines, the player gives instructions to individual team members who differ in appearance, character, background, skills and weapons. A sapper can set traps and mines, a spy can put on a fascist uniform, thereby merging with the enemy, a driver can control land transport, and a marine can use an inflatable boat, which is located behind his back in a backpack and at the right time it can be inflated and disappeared from the place. dislocations. All enemies are an army of Nazis, which are divided into sentries, patrols, and service dogs. They all have their own field of vision and can come running when there is a suspicious noise.

Control is given only to certain crew members, whom the game itself selects; the player cannot influence this choice in any way. You cannot replace a paratrooper with a sniper or vice versa at will. You need to go through levels secretly, carefully thinking about your next move, taking into account the routes and viewing areas of enemies. If a group is noticed, this almost always equals a loss, since the enemy prevails in numbers and combat power. There are many locations, the action takes place on the Lofoten Islands, and in Norway, Libya, Tunisia, Normandy and other places. Each of them is distinguished by its architecture, topography, climatic conditions and seasons.
