    Picture playing a stealth game with the foxhound/cobra unit from Metal Gear Solid series. Each with their own unique skills and abilities as you take on missions as a badass team of rouge agents.

I am so impressed with this game, from the gameplay, animations, the writing, characters and even the acting which is something i never praise as i feel its importance is overblown in gaming nowadays. This game showed me that my favorite genre of games (Stealth) still had some new tricks up its sleeves. Bravo to the dev can't wait to see what is next for you all.… Expand

    Excellent game with an excellent on-boarding that babysits the user through the main commands and skillset without completely giving away the best path or solutions. Re-playability is also excellent, and you ll feel becoming quicker, smarter, and tougher by the levels. Characters are very different, and the set of skills wide enough to hatch enough strategies and play styles.

    Quite simply my game of the year so far. This mixes my favorite genres Stealth and Realtime strategy.

That would be my dream game. Great Job to the devs, i am now a big fan of your studio    … Expand

    Amazing game! Best stealth real-time strategy game out there. As good as Blades of the Shogun but with more tricks and moves.
    The art, sound/music, looks and gameplay are top notch. Just buy it!

    The game is very attractive at the beginning.
    Extremely challenging with a compelling story.
    But over time, the gameplay of this title becomes so repetitive that you don't enjoy it at the end of the game.
    Overall: The experience of this title can be very enjoyable, but never overdo it, because duplication of gameplay is one of the consequences.

    Unbelievably good game. After a bad sequel and Helldorado, I expected nothing, expectations were really low, but OH MY GOD how amazed I was right away. Great story, great chemistry between crew members, great music. Even all this equality stuff with cowboy women doesn't look that bad. I am only on a 6th mission, and I just can't stop playing. Best game of 2020 by 100 miles.

    Absolutely great game! It feels like every enemy has exact position, where he has to be positioned. All locations are different to the end, and gameplay just holds you for a very long time. Menu, settings, mechanics - are just perfect, this game is made by players for players, for sure.

    I find this to be a very entertaining game. It bring backs memories of Commando's, but then in a western setting. Story is great as are the graphics, animations, music and voice acting. I think these games will always play better on a pc, but I really got used to it quickly on ps4.

    Real-time "cowboy" strategy game from the Wild West. Obviously for a targeted audience, but if you happened to be one of the targeted audience, you'd agree that this game is awesome! The design, sound effects, soundtracks, dialog and controls are brilliant despite minor imperfections here and there!

    Desperados III is an excellent tactics with a deep gameplay, interesting features and references to the cowboy movies, which successfully revives the original series and continues the ideas laid down by the developers in Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. An exciting gameplay, built like a puzzle, makes you think ahead and improvise on the go. A convenient save system and fast loadings help to minimize annoyance even if your risky plan fails. If you like real-time tactical games and you like westerns, it is not recommended to skip this game.

    So this review is going to be a glowing recommendation, based on two factors: I have no real wealth of RTS history to throw it against, and I’m having an absolute blast with what I’m playing already. Much like any game, I’m trying to find my feet with its extensive tactics and takedowns approach, but I’m fully invested in the ride.

    If you have the means, do yourself a favor and play Desperados III on the PC. If you don't, the PS4 version is a deserving alternative that isn't as great to control but makes the right compromises to work with the limited input options. The rest of the game is excellent, no matter what platform you choose. It's a challenging title that isn't afraid to frustrate or overwhelm you, and that can sometimes sour the otherwise excellent gameplay. If you have thick skin and an unquenched desire to solve stealth puzzles in the Wild West, Desperados III is the best real-time tactical stealth game that I have played in a long, long time.
