Desperados III Reviews
Desperados III offers a brilliant real-time tactical Western experience that manages to feel intuitive and fun to play on console. It does have a few things that annoyed me here and there, mostly with the trial-and-error elements of the game and some of the overly-challenging set pieces, but they weren’t enough to ruin my time with what is otherwise a fun and satisfyingly strategic Wild West romp.
Desperados III is a title based on the classic video game Commands, with a great strategic component and freedom of movement. Charismatic characters, good story, fun and engaging gameplay and many hours of gameplay.

Desperados III is the kind of game that prioritizes fun above all else, and it manages to do so without sacrificing the oomph of its story or depth of its mechanics.

Desperados III builds heavily upon Mimimi Games “Shadow Tactics” experience to deliver one of the best “soft reboots” I’ve seen in a long while. It’s unrelentless and both charming varied enough to keep you going. It knows how to treat “failure” not as a bad thing, but only a minor setback. Heavily recommended for stealth fans.

This game comes with the highest of recommendations – if you see Desperados III, be sure to grab it – it’s absolutely well worth it!
Desperados III is simply one of the best stealth games can play right now.
Well howdy, partner, I am Woody, and this is the Wild West… Oops, wrong game. Welcome to the Wild West and get ready to go up against bandits and corrupt businessmen as you fight through the world of western times.
Desperados 3 may be a sometimes nerve-wracking title for many players, but personally I loved the substantial challenge level even at the lowest difficulty. Finishing a level section after a series of failed attempts gives a unique satisfaction. One criticism I feel I have to make is about how our characters will often throw themselves into enemies or leave their buddies behind. Finally the absence of Italian dubbing, especially after the first chapter boasted voices like Claudio Moneta and Emanuela Pacotto, is a real blow to the heart but surely the Texas accent of the characters is the icing on the cake.

Desperados III doesn’t have a groundbreaking plot or outstanding graphics. Still, its gameplay mechanics end up making it one of the best tactical campaigns that I’ve ever played in a while. I had a blast getting the most out of each character’s unique skillset even during some of the more difficult missions.
Desperados 3 is about 30 hours from start to finish (depending on how you play) and graphically it looks beautiful. The mix of stealth and puzzle elements keep the gameplay fresh and exciting.
I struggle to find much negative to say about the game as a whole, even after it deleted several hours worth of hard won levels. Had it happened more than once, I’d be frustrated beyond belief, but considering how much I enjoyed everything else, I can forgive one mishap.
The tools that are offered to the player and the level design, give a plethora of approaches that reward patience and ingenuity.

Sneak instead of shoot: Desperados III is surprisingly restrained with shoot-outs and classic Wild West action. The bottom line is that it takes over too many features from Shadow Tactics and thus distances itself quite a bit from the core of the template - but it's still really good real-time tactics that will still be fun in 2020.

Desperados III offers an excellent western setting and thoughtful tactical gameplay. If you won't get discouraged by the amount of early failures, you'll be rewarded with the sweet taste of victory. Even there isn't many tactical strategy games, Desperados III is one of the best.
