I just completed the game and i truly enjoyed it. I am a big fan of the old Commandos games and this game managed to scratch the same itch. The levels were a bit smaller and the lack of interior levels is a shame however they were all pretty unique and had their own themes or gameplay features and they looked pretty nice. The game also manages to have a decent difficulty curve which added to my enjoyment of the levels. The game have only five characters and even though i of course would have prefered there to be more of them with inventory and items you could activate they are still enough to make the game work. Each character feels pretty unique and each have their own use. Something that shocked me is that the games story is pretty good and the characters are actually quite endearing. But overall i really liked the game and my problems with the game are not really problems and more that i wish that there would be more of it. I should probably mention though that the game is pretty cpu heavy and it is one of the few games that have made my cpu get a bit hot. I would recommend the game to anybody with an interest in this criminally underused genre and i think that it is a pretty good start for anyone who wants to try the genre out.
note: I have not played the first "the book of unwritten tales" so i can't compare this game to that game. There is also a possibility that i missed out on jokes or references because of this. I did enjoy my time with this game for the most part. The presentation is nice and i enjoyed the voice acting in the game. The lack of support for 16:9 ratio kind of sucks but it is hardly a deal breaker. There could also have been a bit more environments in the game but overall i enjoyed the presentation of the game and i found it to pretty charming. The story and character was also pretty charming and they kept me interested throughout the game. I wouldn't call anything especially good but they were enjoyable enough even though there could have been some more characters in the game. Overall i found everything except the puzzles to be enjoyable though nothing amazing. There are however a lot of really nonsensical puzzles in this game and i can't imagine that people could figure them out without simply trying every possible combination. It might just be me who is dumb and i am sure that there are people who really enjoy the challenge but they were just to many nonsensical and far fetched puzzles in the game for my taste. And it did somewhat screw up my enjoyment of the game. If you are fine with that then this game is a charming and competent adventure game.
