While it may not be for everyone, I encourage those who are frustrated to mess with things first before giving up on it entirely, as it’s an excellent example of a game you should give time to gestate.

Desperados III is a success both artistically and in terms of gameplay. The many references to Sergio Leone's films are awesome. You can definitely put a fistful of dollars on it.

There is a lot to love about Desperados III, but it is worth noting that the game is not forgiving. It will take time and patience to push through its massive campaign.

If you’ve delved deep into the Desperados franchise, or just have an affinity for RTT games in general, then Desperados III is a no-brainer for you. Brutally-difficult, its steep learning curve and skill ceiling will no doubt leave even the most hardened of players with some brutally-engaging gameplay throughout. Just remember to quick-save after every move you make.

Desperados 3 brings a compelling Wild West story telling the origins of John Cooper and his gang. Each mission is brimming with life and atmosphere and offers a real challenge. With up to six characters, each with their own abilities, there are many different styles of play possible. The game is certainly challenging, but offers a lot of replayability and value for money.

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.
