Is this like Commandos: Behind Enemy Lines?

[Vanis']

If so, ♥♥♥♥ YEAH!!! IT's BEEN A WHILE! Why nobody made this type game earlyer?

Mimimi Productions made Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (2016). Amazing game aswell.

IM EXCITED IF YOU CANT TELL!

If you're unfamiliar with the series you should definitely check out the original Desperados here on steam, 99c during the sale.
I wouldn't bother with the other side sequels though, they kind of went off in a weird half action shooter based direction for some ungodly reason.. :S

So glad this upcoming continuation will bring a return to the proper gameplay :D

[Nomadski]

Yeah the first Desperados game was great, the only game to come close to the Commando series.

[Carnival.Corpse]

Yes. The orginal Desperados Dead or Alive took heavy inspiration from the Commandos franchise. Desperados III will alse be like those games. Same genre, same gameplay style with modern graphics & a more flexible control system.

If you liked Commandos series, then, try Desperados Dead or Alive( ignore Cooper's Revenge & Helldorado), Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun(same devs who's making Desperados 3), Crookz The Big Heist(a tad bit different but almost identical & fun) & Robinhood The Legend of Sherwood(needs some tweak to make it compatible with modern system).

To answer your 2nd question, It wasnt profitable anymore to make games like this. Niche market really but Mimimi made Shadow Tactics back in 2016 which channelled a bit of life~force back into this genre. The end fruit is Desperados 3. Hopefully it won't stop here. :)

Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood is really good aswell. It is not quite the same but i would name it within one breath of Commandos and Desperados without a doubt.

Was because some hippies got upset about cowboys and indian theme. Took tell rockstar games opened it up and saw the billion dollar demand for it, with red redemtion, now it is all over the place because it is "new"

[Battlestar]

Its like DESPERADOS Wanted Dead or Alive. (not Desperados 2)

[Babo]

Damn yeah i've been craving for another Commandos-like game for a long time.

[numsei]

after beating shadow tactics, iam slowing replaying Commandos Behind Enemy Lines.... i had forgot how ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard this game is, in mission 18 already and it is insanely hard

i know it is hard to sell a game like first commandos nowdays (talking about the dificulty), ST has alot of quality of life improvements, how hard would be to create a game like first commandos with QoL from ST? would love to see those devs try some crazy stuff like that

[lymond]

OP ..you must play Desperados 1...best game of my life. Shadow Tactics was direclty inspired by that game. No surprise developers are bringing back Desperados. I
