Time Commando Reviews

What a masterpiece. Even after all these years, I’m still in love with this game. Back in the days when there was no Half-Life 1, and John Carmack with id Software hadn’t released Quake 1 yet. Maybe back then, we were all wondering what could be more impressive and better than this game — little did we know, we were just 1-2 years away from having our minds blown by a new era of stunning full 3D games. I think Time Commando was one of the last great titles of the retro era. The music, game mechanics, and characters — fantastic. It’s a great example of what "game design" was back in the day. Actually, it’s even more like what "game design" truly is. Or rather, what it should be. I replayed this game in 2025 and finished it in three hours, yet I still enjoy it more than 90% of modern AAA titles. Stunning! P.S. — After all this time? — Always.

Best game ever made. It is too far beyond its creation date.

Really unique action game from the creator of the original Alone in the Dark, Frederick Raynal. I love how cinematic the action feels with those great FMV scenarios and excellent camera placement and movement. The combat system is the same from Alone in the Dark, but polished, expanded and perfected; it's really versatile and has lots of creative variations depending on the weapon you are using, and believe me, THERE ARE TONS of different weapons. The journey through time is just EPIC, you visit lots of periods of time, each with its own atmosphere, music, weapons, enemies... man, there is SO MUCH creativity put in this game! Also, the credits scene is one of the best and most memorable I've experienced.
