The biggest sticking point is that, once you’ve gotten used to Commandos 2’s 3D camera, which allows you to turn the map 360 degrees and see behind buildings, Robin Hood's 2D approach seems like a massive step backwards. By comparison, Robin Hood feels restrictive and dated.
The problem is, since Desperados came out, we’ve had the fabulous Commandos 2, which has catapulted this minigenre into a whole new realm of detail, fun and immersion. It’s entertaining in a devilishly frustrating kind of way, as you constantly try to find ways to get past impossible situations. You can distract soldiers by throwing bags of money, disguise a character as a beggar, lure enemies into traps, distract them with whistles and so on. The amount of detail is as exhaustive as ever, and you’re constantly learning new things you can do, ways to manipulate the environment and abilities to exploit. But this is still a highly tactical puzzle game where, as always, a tremendous amount of patience is required to get past even the earliest levels. To make this close-range combat a more integral part of the gameplay, you can perform different types of sword swing by making shapes with your mouse. The concept works rather well, despite the obvious lack of guns, with the bow and arrow working as some sort of sniper rifle and a greater emphasis on hand to hand combat. Thankfully, this Robin is more Errol Flynn than Kevin Costner, and the game’s colourful design and light-heartedness give it a certain charm. But building a Commandos-type game around cowboys is one thing it’s quite another to do the same with Robin Hood. The main goal is to build a community large and meaningful enough to trigger a revolution in the ranks of Nottingham, ending the tyranny once and for all.Commandos was one of the biggest hits ever in Germany, so it’s not surprising that they've turned the hard-as-nails puzzle-based strategy gameplay into an industry of its own, started by developer Spellbound and its excellent game Desperados.
We will be responsible for choosing the right place in Sherwood Forest to build the village.Īnother important part of taking care of the settlement will be to manage the community members’ professions and tasks and training them to become craftsmen, hunters, or guards, and to manage the settlement’s resources, either gathering them yourself or stealing them from convoys and aristocratic estates. We will start our adventure with building a forest camp, which we will be able to develop with the arrival of new residents. Recruit local villagers, rebels on the run from the law, and even the citizens and guards of Nottingham themselves.

Starting with what could be described as a small forest settlement, with a bit of care, luck and work, it can end up as a town full of people. The main task is to help a young, growing community of refugees and rebels improve and expand itself. In the game we’re going to meet those legendary characters as well – such as Lady Marian, Little John, Friar Tuck, Allen a Dale, and Will Scarlet. Robin Hood is a famous hero of medieval English folk tales, believed to have traversed the forests of Sherwood with his companions a long time ago. As Robin, we’ll fight, hunt, craft, steal, and of course - help the local community grow in spite of the Sheriff of Nottingham’s regime – all within an open world environment that can be freely explored.
