Sometimes the location is a town or village inhabited by civilians and you have to avoid giving away your position and remaining undetected (if you have to kill people to do that, so be it but the game does give out achievements and badges for nonlethal approaches). The game is played from an overhead perspective and you have to guide your agents through a location to achieve mission objectives. This immediately personalises the game a lot more, with your team discussing how each mission is progressing and occasionally giving hints on how to proceed. Instead you are given five characters, each of whom has a distinct personality, voice acting and backstory. Unlike other games in this genre, you don't create the operatives or decide on their equipment or skills. You can control anything from two to five agents per mission. Once again you control a group of agents who are given missions to perform. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is made by a completely different developer, but both games use the Unity Engine and have some similarities in interface and feel, although obviously the aesthetics are completely different. O stensibly a spiritual sequel to the 1993 combat-heavy Syndicate, Satellite Reign took the opportunity to change things up and add classes, skills and stealth systems, making it more like a cyberpunk Commandos but with a more viable choice between combat and stealth. The most recent title to dabble in this genre recently was the excellent cyberpunk game Satellite Reign.
They gradually faded away as developers chose to switch to first and third-person perspectives for stealth games. These games were noted for their atmosphere and level of challenge. These included the three-game Commandos series (particularly the second), the two-game Desperados series and the one-off Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood. Back in the late 1990s and early 2000s there was a flurry of games played from an overhead perspective that emphasised stealth, skill-based gameplay and player freedom on how to complete objectives.
