Commandos 3: Destination BerlinvsOrcs Must Die!
Neither is meaningfully harder - they pose close to the same test. The widest gap is optimization, and it is a single point.

Optimization · Pure Optimization
Real-time tactics where every mission is a clockwork stealth puzzle to be solved.
Orcs Must Die!
Optimization · Pure Optimization
A third-person tower defense about funneling orc hordes into gleefully lethal trap corridors.
Commandos 3: Destination Berlin leans Optimization (Pure Optimization); Orcs Must Die! leans Optimization (Pure Optimization).
