Desperados III

Almost the best Commandos-like game. Imo, only Commandos 2 is slightly better but just because it has Coop-multiplayer.

I have mixed feelings about this game. Basically it plays 95% like ST and there is not much interesting. Currently at mission 3 and it's becoming boring. I played ST a lot, several play throughs on all difficulties, collected badges. This feels heavily like an add-on except the time period & location is different. The charactes until now are the same (ability wise) as in ST. Only their special attacks are rotated. Hector = Oshiro Mugen but lacking lure abilities, instead having a bear trap and can whistle which Yuki had in ST. Doc McCoy is basically the old man from ST who had a sniper rifle, but actually is also a sniper but has lure ability. This time around the game is easier that ST. Hints and tips around every corner, even giving suggestions how to neutralize targets. I haven't found any option to turn this off. I needed far less loading than in ST. Just 3 times. It doesn't catch me. I really like to like the game, but as a ST veteran it lacks variety and feels like playing a DLC to ST. Pros - great music - new features like move freely among the crowd & danger zones - fluid gameplay & control & camera is not obscuring things Neutral - replay of played level at the end of each mission Cons - way too much influence from Shadow Tactics, feels almost like a reskined version of it - graphics, if zoomed in, it looks bad, low polygon count on some assets - hand helding, too easy - sometimes buggy detection (you're in the green area but enemy does not react) This game is surely not bad and this is my personal opinion. For me it's simply boring. If people like it, that's fine. 3 stars because I expected to have a game which is inspired by ST and has its own mechanics but got a game which is ST with very few improvements.

Interesting plot. Interesting missions. But unpredictable behaviour of enemies. Sometimes they don't see you when you stay before them in full-length. Sometimes they see you, when you are hiding in the bushs. And other similar annoying things. Also sometimes there are problems with behaviour of protagonists. And also system requirements. Such high requirements for isometric game? Really? They know something about optimisation? I hope we'll see patch, that fix this issues.

There is a reason why most players get 11% into the game and quit (like I just did). Maybe I will pick it up again when I have about 100 hours to waste solving one level.

a lot better than the rest of the series this is the only one worth having in my opinion
