I'll list what character cannot use an ability. It's very useful to get used to the hotkeys. Since the following actions are so important, I will also list their hotkeys. Shall we?Īlmost all of the following actions are performable by each character. Then, I will make a section for each character, followed by some tips and tricks. First, I will list general abilities, their usefulness, and how they should be used. I will not go into specific missions in this guide, but I might provide examples from some missions. Clicking where your cursor is will move your current selected men to that location (or throw/shoot there, depending on what is selected), double clicking will make them run instead of walking, etc. The rest of the general controls should be familiar: Use the arrow keys to move tha camera or get your mouse to the edge of the screen to move it.

This is required to find some doors or windows. The map will turn toward the direction of the mouse button you pressed.

To turn the camera, hold ALT and press left or right. Right clicking those portraits also show the corresponding character's inventory. Left click the portrait to have all currently available commandos visible in the top left, with health bar. To see a character's inventory, right click on their portrait in the lower right of the screen. This notebook of sorts also includes information on most items and abilities, so if you ever get lost, refer to the notebook. Ever forget what it is you needed to do? Don't worry, the button with the notebook on the right side of the screen shows your objectives when clicked on. The general premise of the game is simple: Use the men and resources you have/can get to complete the objectives.

Now, you should be able to start playing. Don't worry, you'll get used to it, but keep in mind that: Right clicking is for selecting and canceling things, and left clicking is for performing selected actions. It's an old game, and developers at the time thought it was a good idea. The first thing you'll notice when you try to play the game is: Left clicking does not select, right clicking does. Don't mind my (currently) low playtime, I only recently got it on steam, but I have played it for way longer back when I was younger. Hello everyone, this is Tricking Trapster with a guide to my favorite game ever, Commandos 2: Men of Courage.
