Another brilliant title under the niche real-time tactics genre that appeared to be gone and forgotten only a few years ago. Mimimi had found the right formula for Shadow Tactics and have only improved upon that with Desperados III!
    This game has it all – interesting storyline, great level design, challenges that can be approached in a number of ways, memorable characters with diverse skills which allow for a myriad of combinations. Difficulty options make it accessible for newcomers to the genre. And while that’s not really my cup of tea, there’s a great potential for doing speedruns or trying to take on one of the challenges that get unlocked only after you complete a mission for the first time.
    One thing Desperados III really stands out for is that it came out as a fully completed and very well polished game. From day one, there were no non-negligible bugs/issues and having already completed it, it never felt like it would need to get DLC-ed before you can really enjoy it. While that used to be the standard some 15-20 years ago, all that is very rare nowadays so kudos to Mimimi for taking the time and effort to polish it that much before releasing it.
    Following the free content update released a few days ago, I’ve now invested 40+ hours in it. And that’s before the DLC’s that I’m eligible to receive having pre-ordered the game! While I’m certainly a completionist type of player, that’s definitely impressive for a single playthrough, i.e. no level re-runs, taking on challenges, etc.
    Overall, the game is very much worth the price. Can we have more of the same, please? It’s already perfect as is!    … Expand

    Amazing tactical stealth game. The setting is nice and the game holds true to the previous entries in the series, but with a modern touch in all the game mechanics. The only downside is that it can get mentally exhausting and I needed to take frequent breaks, but that is just part of this game genre. And the upside of that is the amazing feeling you get when you execute a flawless plan!

    A western setting done right. A massive improvement over shadow tactics. I wish they had more classic licenses like commandos that deserve the treatment desperados was given. A must play and a perfect spin on this classic game format of the old days.

    Second the scenarios are awesome. Ironically the cities are the lamest, although the 3d feeling it gaves you gives you the vibe on being on something big. Which also serves to feed that sensation that all your characters are superheroes.
    The AI is good. Probably on the genre the bar its quite high, but on my casual perspective i can say. The game is hard, the guards react decently fast, and you will take hours figuring out the puzzle.
    That its another thing, this game gives so much freedom you will feel betraying yourself if you go for a guide.
    Ultimately the decisive factor was how much love they put onto this, DESPERADOS 3 WAS created with so much love it inspires me to write them a positive review.    … Expand

    I leave ten very seldom because I feel during recent years, the games are dull, not exciting, the stories are oversimplified.

    This game gives you some special feelings: even when you fail, you still feel like making a progress. It is so well-developed, slow tempo, lovely environment, so you don't rush, but enjoy. I recommend play it on Hard from the very beginning, because it makes game a bit longer, more challenging and more fun. Great job, MiMiMi, looking forward to your next game in RTT.

    In the game, we have a team of specialists who complement each other perfectly, and thanks to this, many tactical combos can be created. One distracts, the other runs over, the third attacks. Whoever wants can plan accidents, whoever wants can run the map unseen, whoever wants can make a tasklist and dispatch everyone on the map (e.g. me :), simply because.. you can. And did haters say that there is little action in the game? Try to plan at least one shadow kill (give orders to different characters and execute them at the same time) and you will tell yourself that it is a more satisfying action than watching John Wick :)    … Expand

    The graphics are good. They are well optimized, i never experienced any fps drops, even on my old pc, and they look really stylish, again , similar to Shadow Tactics.

    The story is , a tool. A tool for devs to put you in an unexpected or interesting situation. I don't really wanna spoil, let's just say that it is similar in structure to (again!) Shadow Tactics.

    So after reading all that, you might ask, why would I choose Desperados III, looks like it's really similar to Shadow Tactics, why choose this over another. Well, you see, Desperados III is just a big improvent over Shadow Tacitcs. If you like it , you will love Desperados.

    A very faithful and modernized entry in the tactical genre. It gives the player different tools to master over 13 levels. Challenges and bonus missions give plenty of replay vaule, it´s beginner friendly and for seasoned veterans due 4 different difficulty modes.

    I liked it. Unlike a lot of people I understand what they were doing with the story. Most reviews are people who haven't even played it. People are just review bombing it. That's just how people are now days. There's a lot of miserable people out there. miserable

    The best example of a Real Time Tactics game I have played since the original Commandos franchise which began in the late 90's. The developer Mimimi games have created a RTT gem. Their first RTT game was Shadow Tactics which was a great homage to Commandos series though a little rough around the edges but they have taken Shadows Tactics DNA and refined it to create Desperados 3.

Their first RTT game was Shadow Tactics which was a great homage to Commandos series though a little rough around the edges but they have taken Shadows Tactics DNA and refined it to create Desperados 3. The game play is so addictive it's a game you don't want to put down. It's challenging especially on the hardest difficult "Desperado" but the sense of achievement when you crack a difficult mission or scenario is fantastic. I can only compare it to the feeling you get when you defeat a tough boss in Dark Souls, you feel so good about yourself like you're a genius. The game controls are very intuitive and the levels are super detailed, really high end visuals for a RTT. it's a very accessible game easy to learn but a brilliant challenge to master. The game is well worth it's triple A price tag due to having 50 hours plus of content especially on Desperado difficulty which I played it on and for it's high quality production. The game works perfectly I haven't experienced any bugs on PC and the game is extremely well optimised, my I9-9900K/RTX 2080TI machine can run the game at a rock solid 120 FPS at 4K resolution. I am now tackling the bonus challenges which are still keeping me in game even after spending 55 hours on the campaign missions. The story is good if nothing exciting but works for the narrative. There are only 4 different enemy types including guard dogs, I would have liked to see more variety. The voice acting is excellent with some funny one liners from enemies. The sound effects are high quality and the music is catchy I would usually turn it off to concentrate in Commandos for example but this soundtrack is worth listening to. Shadow Tactics came close to taking the Commandos crown as the king of RTT's but with all due respect to the 90's classic, Desperados 3 is the new king.… Expand

    I've played the classic, not the second one.
    I can say that is a very nice game. Strategy has been widely explored. Everything really works.

    1. Intrusion play that sneaks in
    2. The taste of assassination that makes you feel the taste of the thief's hands vicariously
    3. A strategy that makes you think about how to solve it

    Great game, very atmospheric, love of detail, fun game mechanics, some funny dialogues, lovable characters and great replay value, if you appreciate challenges. Gotta say tho, that the price is a bit steep considering the length, so one point off for that. Still a very, very good and captivating game - I wish there was more like that.

You'll see a fair bit of of the abilities from the old game being reused with a nice new mix allowing for more interesting gameplay.

The characters are likable and the dialogue often humorous. I've not played the prior Desperado titles so I can't comment on how it did in relation to that, but the game pulls off the western theme allowing for you to be the gunslinger you always wanted to be. Also, the Mimimi logo is no longer crying that breaks your eardrums with headphones, but a nice western theme, a massive improvement :D… Expand

    The game is a fantastic gift to all real time strategy enthusiasts.

    Desperados 3 is primarily the successor to Shadow Tactics. It inspires with tricky puzzles and well thought-out level design. I like the characters, even though this was slightly stronger in Shadow Tactics.
    It's especially impressive that the gameplay is so ingeniously designed. The replay factor is high.

    Quite a lot of variability in the passage. Interesting story. Replay value, hidden achievements. All this is good! And apparently it is still far from the end.
    But still, the price tag is too high. RUR 1500 would be acceptable.

Tenemos hasta cinco personajes a nuestra disposición, cada uno de los cuales tiene sus propias habilidades, ventajas y desventajas, permitiendo que surjan diversidad de estrategias según cómo los combinemos y cómo afrontemos cada una de las situaciones. Las misiones son lo suficientemente variadas como para suponer siempre un reto en crecimiento, el cual aumenta aún más si tenemos en cuenta los objetivos ocultos así como las versiones modificadas que nos ofrece el Barón, dando bastante rejugabilidad al contenido del juego. Estas misiones van conectadas por una historia que, si ser increíblemente original, está bien llevada y mantiene el suficiente interés. La variedad de enemigos es cierto que no es muy alta, pero los distintos tipos que hay están muy bien usados en los mapas (el diseño de niveles es muy bueno) para que cumplan las funciones que tienen que cumplir y suponga cada situación un reto en si misma.

    Gráficamente el juego no es increíble pero cumple bastante bien, con una estética que crea una buena ambientación, localizaciones variadas y un cierto atractivo general. Lo mismo se puede decir del sonido, en todas sus facetas. Y, al menos en mi experiencia, el juego no ha tenido prácticamente bugs.

    Good game in the Commandos genre. Can be a little tedious working through such long and complicated scenarios, and a bit difficult to control at times, but the levels are pretty, and open, and the challenges are fair. Pick it up if you like cowboys or Commandos (or the more recent Shadow Tactics). Much better than The Last of Us 2!

    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.
