The golden era of real-time strategy (RTS) games often brings nostalgia, especially when reflecting on the classics from the late 90s and early 2000s. Despite the increasing scarcity of new RTS titles in 2025, the latest Humble Bundle offers a refreshing throwback with numerous beloved games at an incredible price of $10 (£7.34).
Players can enjoy nostalgic titles such as Commandos series—featuring Commandos 1 along with its expansion Beyond the Call of Duty, Commandos 2, and Commandos 3. Although the latter two didn’t quite match the charm of their predecessor, they are still worth a look for fans. Additionally, the bundle includes:
- Dust Fleet
- Men of War: Assault Squad 2 (rated 75% in our review)
- AI War 2 (awarded an 86% by us)
- Stronghold: Definitive Edition
- From The Depths
- Tooth And Tail (which earned an 80% rating)
While the Commandos games evoke a sense of fondness, it’s noteworthy that remastered versions of Commandos 2 and 3 aren’t included in this bundle, only their original editions. Fortunately, gamers can discover mods like the Commandos HD project for modern graphics support.
Jump back into strategic gameplay where each member of your squad possesses unique skills and requires tactical application for mission success.
In a world where RTS games are growing increasingly rare, now is the perfect time to appreciate the genre’s historical roots.
