When Pyro (dev of Commando fame) wanted to escape its type cast... by doing a chaotic RTS about Rome ... when people wanted yet another Puzzle stealth game from them ...
Spellbound dev , with "Desperados" from 2001 showed this genre Pyro created , can work with other themes , and later in 2002 Spellbound did it again with "Robin Hood" ... so people though Pyro will do the same with "Praetorians" but set in Rome ... nope

Is funny that the same year they made the weakest game in the Commando series ... that could be beat in 4 hours ... then days or months ... then they jumped into 3D awfully derping Commandos to stupid action logic... and lastly they made Planet 51 ...a child GTA that bombed so hard ... they now became a Mobile games company , ouch...

Ps. They say "Shadow Tactics Blades of the Shogun" set in feudal japan is good as Desperados
