    Good, interesting, classic game. Game with gaimplay, not with "pretentious message".

    It has all the same mechanics of Shadow Tactics, and more. The Showdown mechanic is very interesting, and a welcome addition to the game. I enjoyed the difficulty spike with more groups of enemies rather than single individuals to pick off. Also thought the addition of "guard houses" along with information regarding how many enemies are inside was a nice touch. Though I personally would have liked it if the stronger characters had the choice to drag bodies at the cost of speed rather than only high-profile over-the-shoulder. (8/10)

    The plot of the game could be better told. I'm disappointed with how it simply cuts off at the end and doesn't tie off the few loose ends. Shadow Tactics had an "epilogue scroll," detailing events afterward, but this game does not. The character archetypes are well written, and the story makes logical sense. (6/10)

    The character designs are quite distinct and easy to tell apart. The detail on the models is very nice. No facial movement when talking though. Each map is very impressively well done, though maybe there could be some cosmetic variations on the assets so not every bush looks the exact same. (8/10)

    Base score: (7.7/10)

    Additional factors:
    Some characters are clearly more useful than others.

    Realism takes a few hits, like revolvers being unable to fire for several seconds after a shot, or having their own individual ammunition pools. And then we get to the voodoo abilities. People who want this game to have little of the fantasy element will be disappointed.

    Certain visual assets that block movement don't block enemy vision like they should.

    Final score: (8/10), rounded up from 7.7/10

    My rubric:
    0/10: Unfinished. I never give credit for unfinished work.
    1/10: Alpha. Severely Broken. There was an attempt, but that's all that can be said.
    2/10: Beta. Major improvements needed, but at least the game is beyond the conceptual stage.
    3/10: Broken. Some work is required to optimize and fix the technical issues.
    4/10: Unimpressive. Falls below expectations, but otherwise a functional game.
    5/10: Average. On par with other games of its bracket. No more. No less.
    6/10: Novel. There are a few aspects that are different from others of its kind.
    7/10: Exceptional. Significantly better than the average game.
    8/10: Stand-out. Truly innovative mechanics/story, very high quality.
    9/10: Masterpiece. Very few flaws. Minimal improvements can be made to this game.
    10/10: Perfection. Actually, literally perfect. Zero flaws. Also impossible.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. If you liked Shadow tactics, you will like Desperados 3. The game certainly feels different that the two previous Desperados games, as it is basically Shadow Tactics in a Wild West setting. But that is actually good. The story is not exquisite, but it is more than adequate to support the gameplay.
    There are accusations that the game is "too easy". These comments possibly came from people who played the game on easy or normal difficulty. Having played the game on Hard and Desperado, I can assure you that it offers a more than interesting degree of challenge.
    Three things bother me:
    1. I would like more levels, at least 20. The game is engaging, but it feels a bit short.
    2. What the hell is wrong with all these female enemy characters. I understand that SOME women were outlaws in the Old West, but here they overdid it. Female "Gunwomen" and "Ponchos" are everywhere. I understand how that has a gameplay function of course, in order to counter Katie's ability, but it ruins the ambience a little bit.
    3. While Isabelle's (the Voodoo Priestess) is really fun to play as, I feel like she belongs in another setting. This is supposed to be a "realistic" Wild West setting. I feel that characters like Isabelle belong more in a "Hard West" setting (an x-com type strategy game set in an Old West were demons and black magic is real), that on Desperados 3.
    Overall, solid game. Buy it, try it, love it.    … Expand

    Fantastic game. There's been a huge lack of stealth RTS games in recent years, and this has rejuvinated the genre. It obviously has parralels to the Commandos series of games and they've been a heavy influence, but it's also more accessible and open than they were. Contrary to a couple of bad reviews

    Desperados 3 is a masterpiece of real-time strategy games for me. I believe everyone will enjoy it, whether they like the genre or not. That’s why I think it should definitely be experienced. I finish story because I don’t want to praise the game too much and make it unattractive in your eyes.

    Guarded Fun
    Desperados 3 is a story driven real time tactical stealth game set in the wild west where you play as a variety of characters all with their own unique abilities to help you obtain a goal whether that’s gaining dynamite or killing targets…
    Desperados III in a way is a top down assassins creed meets hitman, youre set in one large open map per level, each map taking anywhere from 45 minutes to two hours to complete depending on your trial and error… so there is potential for easily 20 hours of gameplay here, especially if you set out to complete each mission challenges.
    At the beginning of each level youre given the goal and then the game lets you lose, figure it out… you have your characters, you have their abilities, use their abilities to accomplish the goal…
    At first desperados 3 feels overwhelming, constant tutorials, new mechanics to learn, but once I got the hang of it, I really started to enjoy this game.. im a huge fan of assassins creed so I love to dabble in stealth games from time to time.. distracting guards and setting up kills, hiding in bushes and executing ambushes.. quicksaving anytimei felt I made hefty progress or just incase I mess up a set up… and theres a new mechanic called showdown where you can pause the game and indivually input camands to your characters and with the press of a button execute the plan..
    Desperados 3 has everything going for it to be one of the best and most fun stealth games ever.. the variety of characters, all having great personalities, great level design and world building.. interactive items in the world like hitman that you wait for just the right moment to pull off… BUT
    Desperados 3 desperately tries to challenge you in an annoying way rather than an enjoyable way.. this is another instance of hard for the sake of being.. this is annoying hard not challenging hard
    My biggest gripe with desperados 3 is that it gives you so much to have fun with but it doesn’t want you having fun at all… it advertises itself as go in quiet or loud, good luck… the moment youre spotted youre swarmed like a piece of cake on an ant hill, being spotted is a sure death sentence on any difficulty…
    which is fine I respect force stealth.. if its fair.. the stealth in desperados 3 however is not fair.. its unrealistic and annoying.. every guard has 2 eyes on them and those 2 eyes have another 4 eyes on them and those 4 eyes have 6 eyes on them, its constant cones on all directions, making a game about picking bodies off one by one - about getting lucky, getting in a ranged kill and running and hiding until the heat is off.. its ridiculously unfair how many enemies are thrown at you on these maps, and to make it worse when guards are alarmed it isn’t enough for enemies from the map to come check things out, the game spawn even more onto the map for that area, I didn’t feel as though I was completing levels with skill, I felt I was getting through with luck… how is there a sniper watching a sniper… this is there simply because the player sees an opportunity to sneak to a sniper and use an environmental kill.. but you have a sniper watching the sniper just incase that sniper gets taken out? Hes just there to be annoying, no reason other than that.. and this is how the game feels from start to finish.. sneaking up behind someone to take them out, only for someone at a different angle to be warking towards you while the other 2 characters guarding that angle is leaving… again urning this into a game of luck rather than a bunch of dumb stealth fun…
    Desperados 3 has potential… it has so much good going for it.. but the insistence on challenging the player rather than creating an enjoyable puzzle to solve squanders that potential.
    I give Desperados 3

    Great story and good characters (especially Hector). However, the stealth is kinda borked in this game at times. Sight cone is crazy accurate and after awhile gets tedious. Even if things go down, you pretty much just wait for the AI to reset and continue on. What broke me was a glitch i hit at the very end, where no matter what i did i would auto fail an encounter.

    The game was pretty solid. Numerous characters with plenty of abilities. Just couldn't find myself becoming addicted with the game. Perhaps, this genre just isn't my style which is not a knock on the game developers or the game itself.

    A solid Real Time Tactics entry

    Desperados 3 is a Real Time Tactics game developed by the same group that did Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, so if you've played that you'll feel right at home with Desperados 3. The first thing I'd like to highlight, is despite Desperados 3 being the "Third" main entry into the series, the game is actually a prequel/soft reboot. You do not need    A solid Real Time Tactics entry

    Desperados 3 is a Real Time Tactics game developed by the same group that did Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, so if you've played that you'll feel right at home with Desperados 3.

    The first thing I'd like to highlight, is despite Desperados 3 being the "Third" main entry into the series, the game is actually a prequel/soft reboot. You do not need to play any of the other older Desperados games in order to understand the story, this game is rather self-contained and doesn't require any prior knowledge of the other games; thus making it easier to get into.

    The game itself is very Trial and Error, you will be using Quick Save and Quick Load a lot, which isn't as bad as it sounds, to complete missions and have everything run smoothly. For those who have played Shadow Tactics you will notice that a lot of the abilities from that game carry over to this one.

    The cast themselves are all interesting characters in my opinion, to your standard Cowboy main character archetype, to the seductress all the way to the voodoo woman, utilising their abilities and having everything connect together to complete missions, is nothing short of satisfying; especially after you pull off all five people doing something at once using Showdown Mode.

    The story isn't anything to write home about but this is one of those games where the story merely serves as an excuse for the enjoyable and interested gameplay, it's unlikely you'll care about what's going on in the story but you'll be more interested in the set-pieces and enemy locations as to rack your brain to figure out the best solution forward.

    There are dozens of ways to complete any given mission, different routes, who to use, what abilities to prioritise, this for me is what makes the game enjoyable; you can play the same mission twice but you probably won't accomplish it the same way twice.

    Of course in games like this there are challenge modes, DLC missions and what not which are also enjoyable, I only just completed the main story when writing this review but I know some of them are effectively; "Do this mission with only these characters, instead of the original ones." And some are just brand new missions entirely, which means you can get a lot of time and content out of this game for what you pay for it.

    To complete the main story it'll take around 15-25 hours at best, since there will be times where you're just staring at the screen, watching guard patterns and thinking. "This is bloody impossible." Only for something to click, an ability you rarely use becomes feasible and then you've got it.

    Overall, this game has my recommendation, although I did prefer Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (Purely because I prefer the Japanese Sengoku Era aesthetic) This is a fantastic game and a great entry into the Real Time Tactics Genre and a must have for any stealth game enthusiasts out there.

    7/10, fantastic gameplay, lacklustre story.    … Expand

    after that, it becomes all but fun: it's repetitive, uninspiring, the verbal jokes become lame, the killing of hordes of pretty dumb enemies turns out to be a soulless office job and most of all, the handling of your heroes, their moves, their actions is annoying as f*ck. seriously, ALT+mouse move for screen rotation? CTRL click for action? S, A, W, D keys used for pre-selecting an action? are you trying to reinvent the wheel of well established PC keyboard layouts?

Developers are lazy, that's why you should never give a project like this to money grabbing game studios.… Expand

    It’s got what it needs: a keen appreciation for how to smooth the tedium out of stealth games, adroitly presented by its rakish cast on a picante Western stage.

    Do not pick up the game if you are looking for a fast-paced adventure heavy on whipping out six-shooters. Fans of real-time tactics should give it a look though because the gameplay here is top-notch. With Mimimi still improving the game with the Bounty Hunters update and level editor, Desperados III is a game you will want holstered when riding off into the sunset.

    Desperados III is a great stealth tactic game with great graphics, music, voice acting, characters and story but can feel like a rehash of previous games made by the same developers.
