Commandos 2 and Praetorians HD remaster pack out on console and PC

Dropping late last week was the double-pack of reborn strategic action titles from Kalypso. Commandos 2 and Praetorians are both out now.

Remastered

Both PC gaming classics, Praetorians and Commandos 2 remain favorites of many gamers from the early 2k’s. Now both games are back in action once again, thanks to Kalypso.

Originally developed by the defunct Pyro Studios, the development of the remasters had been signed to Yippee! Entertainment, Raylight Games and Torus Games. The result is a reborn set of classics, with some modern improvements and fresh looks.

More than just a visual remaster, both games include a host of improvements over the original releases. Those include “evamped tutorials and campaign missions, controller support, as well as an integrated version of Praetorians – HD Remaster’s multiplayer mode.”

Commandos 2 HD

  • Experience every tutorial and campaign mission revamped in high definition
  • Access authentic WWII vehicles, scenarios and weaponry such as tanks and bazookas
  • 10 missions spanning 9 day/night environments, all with realistic weather effects
  • Steal, climb and swim to accomplish missions within fully interactive environments 
  • Play as an eclectic cast of characters, including Green Beret, Sniper and Whiskey the dog
  • Experiment with skills and approaches in challenging, against-the-odds style gameplay

Praetorians HD

  • Demonstrate militant might with remastered tutorials, campaign and skirmish missions
  • Play solo or head-to-head with fully integrated multiplayer
  • Choose from three armies, each with an assortment of unique strengths and weaknesses
  • Play through 20 campaign missions set in the combat theatres of Egypt, Gaul and Italy
  • Utilise characters and unit types, each with unique abilities and formations
  • Make use of varying terrain to strategically plan battles
  • Engage in fast-paced real-time combat

As mentioned, the games are available right now on the PS4, Xbox One, and the PC. Both titles are available as a set, or separately if you prefer. A Nintendo Switch edition of Commandos 2 is coming up as well, though it’s not quite ready for play just yet. Expect that this winter.
