About the Game
ALARM! You have been selected for a mission which will shape the fate of the entire world. Witness the very beginning of the legendary elite WWII force in Commandos: Origins. The long-awaited sequel to the Commandos series brings you right back to the foundation of the real-time tactics genre. And to the days where Jack O’Hara, the Green Beret, and his five companions met to form the infamous unit sent to complete missions which no others would dare to accept.
In the hushed shadows of history’s most pivotal moments, where heroes are born and legends are forged, a new chapter awaits. Whether it is a daring raid, a covert sabotage, or a courageous rescue mission – the Green Beret, the Sapper, the Sniper, the Driver, the Marine and the Spy will need to combine their skills to meet the most challenging tasks. Your mission can only be achieved through well-thought planning and the smart combination of stealth and destruction that come with the unique skillsets of this elite troop.
From the icy plains of the Arctic to the vast deserts of Africa, from the western coastlines of Europe to the Eastern front, it’s up to you to lead your commandos to success in high-risk missions. Guide them in their fight against the growing Nazi occupation which is menacing the free world.

Make the best use of your Commandos’ unique abilities, infiltrate enemy facilities and hit them where it hurts most before disappearing into the shadows.

Featuring 6 infamous characters, each with their own storied history, banding together to form an extraordinary fighting force – the Commandos: Take control over Jack O’Hara “the Green Beret”, Thomas “the Sapper” Hancock, Francis T. “the Sniper” Woolridge, Samuel “the Driver” Brooklyn, James “the Marine” Blackwood, and Rene “the Spy” Duchamp and lead them to success.

The detailed, varied and interactive environments offer multiple approaches to reach your goal. Sneak, climb, drive in various vehicles, or hide and creep your way to mission success!

A modern user experience with precise and intuitive controls enables you to control the commandos with expert precision. Coordinate complex actions simultaneously to overcome heavily fortified targets.

Play through more than 10 missions in historically authentic WWII environments, spanning from the barren Arctic to the African desert, with a range of core and voluntary objectives that will require your full tactical expertise.

Take on missions with a friend in the 2-player cooperative multiplayer mode, either online or via local split-screen.

Steam Patch Notes
Official update history
Commandos: Origins - Update 1.5.1
Commandos,
We have just released an update that fixes some achievement-related issues and a crash.
The changelog can be found below.
Fixes
\[Shadows over Crete] Fixed an issue where some DLC achievements (“Ripe for Picking”, “Ghost of Crete”, “Island vacation”, "Quite the Catch" and “Crete Veterans”) did not always unlock correctly on certain platforms including Steam and Xbox.
Fixed an issue where beating mission 1 of the base game (Operation Daybreak) did not always count for achievement progress until all 14 base game missions were finished and any mission was finished a second time. This affected multiple achievements, including “Knock Them Out With Kindness” and “Shadow Tactics”.
Fixed a rare crash related to the view cone settings.
Commandos: Origins - Minor Hotfix #2
We just released a hotfix on Steam with fixes for a misaligned cursor and several crashes.
- Fixed a misaligned cursor issue related to the chosen game border settings.
- Fixed a crash in multiplayer related to saving + loading while in range of an active sound decoy.
- Fixed several other rare crashes.
Missing Sound Hotfix
We just released a hotfix on Steam that fixes an issue where sound was missing for some players. Other platforms will follow as soon as possible.
Fixes
- Removed "Audio Output Device" in-game option, to avoid conflicts with the preferred audio output device selected in the Windows settings. This conflict led to some players sometimes losing audio upon entering a mission or loading a savegame. The game will now refer to the Windows settings for choosing the audio output device.
Commandos: Origins Demo Update
Commandos!
We have just released a small update for the Commandos: Origins demo, that addresses some feedback and bug reports.
We have fixed an issue where key bindings were reset after loading a save game. Additionally, we've made several improvements, including simplifying the barrel-shooting mechanic, which no longer requires holding Ctrl.
You can find the full list of changes below.
Adjustments
- Adjusted explosive barrel shooting mechanic and tutorial hint.
Like enemies, barrels can now be shot with a simple <left mouse button> click, holding down the <control> key is no longer required. - Adjusted picking up of sound decoy and tutorial hint.
Picking up sound decoy now works like picking up any other item by holding down the <control> key and clicking <left mouse button>. - Added chain pick up tutorial hint.
Added a new tutorial hint explaining that you can hold down <control> key while ordering a melee attack to have the Commando pick up the body automatically. - Added quicksave/quickload button tutorial hint.
Added tutorial hint that explains that you can quicksave with F5 and quickload with F8.
Bug-Fixes
- Fixed a bug that reset hit points to 3 after loading with 1 hit point left.
- Fixed custom key bindings resetting after loading.
- Fixed a crash related to clicking “Default” and “Reset” buttons in the menu.
- Removed demo unrelated files from the folder structure.
