It’s intricate, clever, and demands careful attention of your surroundings and lots of consideration before you make any move. That said, it’s the gameplay mechanics of Desperados III where this title truly shines. The levels are woven into the story perfectly and without giving too much away, the twists and turns of the plot are always in keeping with the general theme of revenge and retaliation. One thing that I thought was really well done was how the members of this rag-tag group become drawn together into each other’s journey, forming a bond stronger and often times stranger than friendship. Despite the levels providing you with various tasks and objectives that may seem somewhat of a tangent, they all tie together and you’re never sidetracked by your task of seeking out and executing villain Frank.

The plot of Desperados III is so engaging. As you progress through missions, a story of treachery and the menacing DeVitt company unfolds. Along your journey, spanning the expanse of Colorado to New Mexico, you meet a strong cast of characters, each with unique abilities that form your squad, arming you with the necessary tools to complete your objectives. You’re on a quest for revenge, hunting down “Frank”, the notorious outlaw responsible for the death of John’s father James Cooper. The game pits you as protagonist John Cooper and is situated as a prequel to the first game. Desperados III is an absolute stand out in terms of games I’ve played this year and was well worth the lengthy hiatus.

This is the first game in the series since the 2007 spin-off Helldorado. Literally hours of my day would pass before my eyes as I carefully calculated and orchestrated each move – planning my attacks, always with an escape route in mind.ĭescribed as “a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario…” Desperados III was developed by Mimimi Games and published by THQ Nordic. However, what I was not expecting, was just how engrossing this game would be. A real-time tactics game with an emphasis on stealth and clever execution of your squad’s abilities.
