    Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun and Desperados 3, both by Mimimi Games are like the old Commandos (and Desperados) games of old.

    In the same vein there's also Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood which is like all the previous ones, but you're in the 11th century robbing from royals and giving to the poor. This shit was my jam back in the day. Pain in the ass to get to work on a modern PC though, even with the GOG version.

      Second Shadow Tactics. Not a personal favorite but it does what it does pretty well. You have a small team of ninjas that each have their own abilities and strengths and you have to figure out how to move through levels, defeat enemies, and complete your objectives with the limited tool kit you have.
