About Eye of the Commando
Classic turn-based dungeon crawling with an 80s action movie twist! You know the drill: four directional grid based movement, 90 degree rotation, you-go-they-go turns in combat, puzzles and secrets and loot galore. But instead of heading into a basement to fight rats with Yesterday's Knife and a two-copper pleather frock, you're a one man army raiding an island full of non-specific international terrorists with your impossibly huge gun and no shirt!
First Person dungeon crawling in Third Person, a combination we proudly call Thirst Person Dun--
Update: Legal has advised us to choose a different label for our unique blend of genres. Doesn't matter. What matters is all the fun you get have fighting, exploring, and looting. Here's what's in store for you:
Genuine Yes Really Turn Based Gameplay: You, the enemies, the environment, even the enemy bullets all move one tile per turn. Take your time planning your next move, no reflexes required. The only exception is your bullets: your bullets move instantly, at the speed of Freedom. Check it out:
Item And Equipment Progression and Builds: Find gear on the battlefield to grow in power. Upgrade your armor, grab boots from a dead ninja, and use a plethora of weapon attachments to define your build. Got too many weapon attachments? Find some Duct Tape and add even more. Still too many? Clever players with a bent for exploration will find a use for them...
Handcrafted Maps, Puzzles, and Secrets: No procgen dungeons here! Who plays roguelikes anyway? The game starts with an action heavy beach raid, and proceeds to get deeper and dungeony-er as you explore the island volcano fortress that evil calls home. Secret areas with hidden loot, switches, traps, teleport tiles, conveyor belts, all that good stuff is here. Intentional map design that rewards thinking, exploring, and a tactical approach.
Classic Exploration And Arcade Joy: It's a brand new take on an old favorite style, delivered with a knowing nod to the ridiculousness of 1980s musclemans action movies. The focus is on the fun of exploring, blowing up the bad guys, grabbing whatever they dropped, and seeing what's around the next corner.

I cant stop staring at the guy's a...amazing game.
Bought it on a whim after seeing a video of someone playing it, figuring that if I didn't like it my retro-loving partner would probably enjoy it. But after a couple of quick deaths I figured out the pacing and immediately got sucked in. The humour made me genuinely laugh out loud a few times and the gameplay is solid as hell. The only reason I'm not 4 hours in already is because I need to sleep.
Amazing blend of ideas and great execution. Only thing I would add is a meta progression system, but even without that it's really fun.
Very fun game
You are witnessing a masterpiece in the making.
I've enjoyed the game from what I have played so far. The dungeon crawler mechanic is unique, blending the retro asthetic of Duke Nukem, Contra, Metal Gear, with a semi real time tactical RPG mechanic from a third person perspective. While I like the presentation, I feel the controls can be rather clunky the first time around, unless tweaked properly. sometimes when overwhelmed by enemies you can easily confuse yourself with the controls and rotate the character when you were thinking of strafing. The game requires a lot of trial and error to get used to the gameplay but once you've adapted, you actually start to enjoy it. The game can be rather challenging, even in easy mode The soundtrack also helps keep things intense and motivated for battle. The game can get buggy sometimes and at one point the controls locked up on me when I got hit by a projectile while strafing. Hoping this gets ironed out in future patches. Overall a neat concept, even if the controls are somewhat clunky. It might not be for everyone, but I found it addicting once I figured out the controls. 7.5/10
