An overall okay expansion
#Score: 70% The Desperados III DLC campaign is a wild ride. It is only three stages with no Baron challenges, so they do not give much. Then again, it is also a cheap Season Pass. The first mission feels pure lazy. It reuses the Casa DeVitt map, it has mismatching voice actors, and the story goes nowhere. If someone is buying the bonus levels one by one, they will probably stop right there. As a surprising twist, the second mission has grown into my favourite. It is a mansion and plantation, something we saw a few times in this series. There is something in the level design, though. The available options are through the roof, giving it huge replay value. The third mission is also reusing a map, this time from Desperados 1. It is not a bad remake; too bad it is tied to a mediocre mission. Half of the gang starts as captured and we do not even have to rescue them all. Despite its seeming difficulty, it has a little challenge factor and sinks into mediocrity fast. All together…? They are okay. As I said, it is a cheap season pass, and it gives a few more hours of playtime. Considering that Desperados III is a fantastic game, I was grateful for these extra hours. Still, if I could go back and choose, I would ask the Mimimi Games to start developing their next game instead.
