Could be better

This review is from the perspective of a recent first-time player. If you've played Commandos before, this game is just an artificially and unnecessarily more challenging version with a different coat of paint and new mechanics. The difficulty wasn't as much of an issue as the awful overall design. NPC behavior is bad: dead bodies won't trigger alarms but peanuts or a playing card lying around sets the map on alert. The Wild West setting is excellent: it's fun, engaging, and the sole motivation to complete the game. Yet it simultaneously brings the setting down by having characters be stereotypes seen in old Westerns. Technical issues were present immediately: severe mouse lag, double-clicking, and actions in general weren't always registered correctly. I eventually experienced this weird lagging issue that I haven't seen in the GOG community but is present on the Steam side. This game has cascading technical issues that absolutely matter in a real-time game. Having recently played and enjoyed Commandos before trying Desperados, go for Desperados if you want a game that feels like a subpar fan mod of Commandos. Otherwise, this game has too much nostalgia flattery that drowns out its criticisms.

Superb Game That Will Never Grow Old

I am now playing this game for the 5th time and since thats the no. of times I have completely played this game since 2003. This is by far 1 of the greatest first person strategy game ever.

An exercise in frustration

After trying to play desperadoes for the first time I made it to mission 6 and then gave up. Desperadoes is an stealth infantry tactical combat game where your small fragile squad is pitted against a map full of enemies and you have to carefully make your way past them or incapacitate them. That's a description that would require patience in a modern game. Take away all the progress that's been made in game design in the last fifteen years and add in an interface that's not great even for 2001 and you end up with a game that it's easy to get fed up with. After getting to the sixth mission and being presented with a map packed with more enemies than ever before I made a couple of initial attempts and then soon gave it up as not worth the frustration. From what I've seen of the story it seems like it still holds some interest but the gameplay has not aged well. One for enthusiasts and nostalgia only.

Technical problems with this release

Severe technical problems. Game runs at FPS near zero. Fixes suggested by users work with variable degree of success. Practically unplayable.

Still great

After all these years, it's still a great game and wit the new patch i was able to play through with no technical issues. It's not for the impatient audience or casual gamers because it has no modern features like extended tutorials or auto heal and it's not taking you by hand showing how to solve the problem. You have to experiment and find a way that work for you. There is no one right way to finish the mission and that makes this game so great and playable for many times. When the game first came out i found it very hard. But now, i wish there where more games like this. I enjoyed it so much.
