Desperados III
Description
Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario.
In this long-awaited prequel to the beloved classic Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, John Cooper will join forces with the runaway bride Kate, the shady hitman Doc McCoy, the giant trapper Hector, and Isabelle, a mysterious lady from New Orleans. On Cooper’s quest for redemption, his adventures lead him and his gang from rural towns, over swamps and riverbanks, and finally to a dramatic showdown worthy of Wild West legends.
Play smart if you want to succeed. A good plan can make the difference between survival and finding yourself at the business end of a pistol.
Drifter, gunslinger, and natural leader Cooper can kill quietly with a knife, or take out multiple foes with his revolvers. Strongman Hector carries a giant bear trap and can slay the toughest opponents with his trusty axe. Cold blooded bounty hunter McCoy likes to be methodical, using lures, knockout gas, poison syringes and a custom long-range pistol. Kate can fool almost any man with the right outfit, and kills discreetly with her hidden gun. And then there is this mysterious woman from New Orleans, Isabelle…

Desperados 3 is a Western that's as wily as it is wild, and well-suited to anyone after a serious stealth challenge.

A gem
If you liked Commandos, the original Desperados or this studio's Shadow Tactics, you'll love this.

Truly Unique and Enthralling
I've only spent a few hours playing this game but I am completely enthralled by the sound track. I've played it over and over again because of the mood it sets. Truly skilled composing. The game itself has great mechanics and provides a rich story that propels you through the missions. I like the fact that there are extra perks for doing the mission a certain way because it provides replayability. Often times, though, I move on to the next mission because I want to find out what happens next! Definitely recommend purchasing this title.

micro-review
The game adds very little to an already winning formula. It is extremely similar to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, just in a different setting. I do have one personal complaint – it is disappointing that you can easily surprise someone that is alerted and has a gun, only with your fist, just because they just came around a corner. https://pixelloot.com
