I just wanted to recommend this game I've been playing for a couple days.

If anyone knows Commandos, it's the same style of gameplay but set on Edo period Japan. I'm having a real blast with it.

By the way, I also wanted to mention how impressed I am with the developer Daedalic Entertainment. I played a couple of their Deponia games, which is a pretty good point & click style game, and now this one. They make all these completely different styles of games, and still manage to keep them super fun and high quality. I've played these two games from them, but I know they've got a bunch more that are apparently pretty good too.

One quick question. Can you pause to give commands at will or is it fully real time?

[jorgebonafe]

No, it's real time.
There's a pretty cool mechanic that lets you prepare one action in advance on each character and then execute them all simultaneously, but it's also real time.

Well, that's too bad, not for me then :P

I've put this on my wishlist. I used to be really big into Commandos and this seems to be basically a well-done clone. I vaguely recall there being more clones in the past, like I think I remember a Robin Hood themed game in the genre and a wild west one.
