Although the missions are set-up in a similar fashion (several different objectives, some to be achieved through stealth, others through use of force) and in most occasions the player is allowed to change between different characters, this is the first game in the series to apply a first-person perspective, like many other World War II inspired games, in contrast to the overhead view of the earlier games.
Released during the first months of 2006, the game makes a departure from the first three games. It is developed by Pyro Studios and published by Eidos Interactive. Commandos: Strike Force is a first-person shooter computer game and the fifth installment critically acclaimed Commandos series.
