    Maybe a UPF segment but somehow I doubt it gets a full QuickLook.

    I might end up having to eat my own (nacho) hat on that claim.

    I've only just started playing it. I'm a big fan of Commandos and Desperados and this definitely scratches that itch.

    There is a demo on steam in case you missed it.

    I've been seeing this game pop up everywhere, was hopping for a QL here. Guess the crew is busy with the GOTY stuff.

    Saw some gameplay on twitch of this game, definitely looks like a ninja-style Commandos game, maybe I'll pick it up later.

    I'm a few missions in and this game is really fucking good. It deserves it but idk if it's up any of the GB guys wheelhouse. I can't recall any of them ever bringing up Commandos. For me this is a top 5 game I've played this year. It's not only "Commandos" but a really smart honing of the mechanics of those games in a similar way MGSV and Hitman modernized stealth with more player feedback.

    @artisanbreads: That is what I was thinking. If Austin were still here that would be a different story.

    @artisanbreads@meteora3255 I could see maybe Rorie being interested. But this time of year is super busy for them all , so ... probably not happening.

    I hope so. This game deserves a little more publicity I think, it's really good. Definitely going on my GOTY list later.

    Yeah, looks very interesting! I'd love to see a quicklook... one hosted by anyone with a name that doesn't begin with a 'B' ;-)

    And thanks for posting this, I hadn't heard about it at all!

    I really like it too, and is a big fan of Speelbounds Commandos Series especially the second one in the series.

    The only thing I really don't like is the loadtimes when you first start the game, I can manage it though because I just play some small game on my phone, og tablet, while I wait, but that is the only really thing I don't like, and I understand from the developer it has something to do with how the game is programmed to load the files, so it's not something I think that will be fixed.

    Now's the time to do a Quick Look! Seems like a Drew or Rorie kind of game.
