Your other option is to take a more thoughtful approach. While you have access to weapons you can’t survive a big gunfight as you are outnumbered so you need to choose the right times to launch these type of attacks. While effective this strategy regularly leads to alarms being set off forcing you to deal with more enemies. The characters have various ranged attacks (with limited ammo) which usually results in one shot kills. These methods are quick, dirty and generally attract attention, but they get the job done quickly. Each character has their own set of weapons which allow you to quickly dispatch of enemies. Your first option is to go in guns blazing. This is where the gameplay diverges into two paths depending on how you want to play it. The game takes place in real time, but the game gives you the option to pause and set up a plan to put into action. Depending on the difficulty you choose you will have limited health and ammo so you need to act smarter than your enemies. The objective of each mission involves reaching certain locations, completing various tasks, and subduing or killing the people that stand in your way. The game is broken down into stages filled with enemies that greatly outnumber your own forces. If I were to classify Desperados III’s gameplay I would say that it is a tactical strategy game which utilizes real time tactics. John’s quest for redemption has him and the others traversing the Wild West. Joining John on his journey are the runaway bride Kate, the hitman Doc McCoy, the trapper Hector, and the mysterious Isabelle. In the game you play as a John Cooper on his journey through the old west.

Receiving the review copy for free had no impact on the content of this review or the final score.įor those familiar with the Desperados series, Desperados III acts as a prequel to the previous games.
We at Geeky Hobbies would like to thank Mimimi Games and THQ Nordic for the review copy of Desperados III used for this review. Other than receiving a free copy of the game to review, we at Geeky Hobbies received no other compensation for this review. Desperados III takes a long thought dead franchise and brings it roaring back with fantastic real time tactics gameplay that fans of the genre should love. With the fact that Desperados III is a prequel along with the fact that I love these type of real time tactics games though, I wanted to check out the game despite not having any familiarity with the series. If it wasn’t already obvious I never played the original two games in the series.

It is not surprising that the series has been mostly forgotten with the fact that there hasn’t been a game released for it in fourteen years.
The original Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive was released back in 2001 while its sequel Desperados 2: Cooper’s Revenge was released five years later in 2006. In some ways this makes sense due to the fact that the series has been dormant for quite a few years. If it weren’t for the fact that the game had a three in its title I wouldn’t have even known that there were other games in the series. Until recently I have to admit that I had never heard of the Desperados series.
