I played and loved Shadow Tactics. Those who say that Desperados III uses the same mechanics are right. The setting is different, but the missions are quite similar up to the mid of the game. The one truly new character is the Voodoo lady which you get around mission 6, her abilities are completely new and fresh. Another major difference is that guns are much more powerful in this game because you get a lot more ammo for them. The game is polished, the levels are gorgeous, the voice acting is superb. I will add more when I finish it. Those who complain about not being able to see cover: press the H key to highlight interactable objects. You shouldn't skip the tutorial :) To those who say the game holds your hand too much: play on Desperado difficulty, I guarantee you will face dozens of reloads per level. But if you played Shadow Tactics to death then sure - you will feel it's not insanely hard. Do remember they will be adding additional missions to this game. I prepurchased it and it has so far been GOTY for me.
