Through this system, you quickly learn that Desperados III is a game of trial and error, and it works beautifully.īeginning the game as John Cooper, a cowboy on the hunt for a man named Frank, you set off across the Wild West. Being a bit of an old skool gamer, this felt a little like cheating at first, but Desperados III actively endorses saving and replaying sections should your plan go belly up. Doing so is as easy as pressing the touchpad, and should you fail, loading these quicksaves can be done from the pause menu. Coming into this having never played many, if any, RTT games, I was struck by how elegant this system works.įrom the opening few minutes of the game, which play out like a tutorial of sorts, you are encouraged to save as often as you can. Desperados III knows this, it almost encourages it, and it has been made to play that way. Whatever word you choose to take away from that description, let it be hardcore because you will fail. Set in the Wild West, Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game. Heck, until I played Desperados III, I didn’t even know RTT was a game genre, but now having wet my whistle, I have got to say Desperados III is a lot of fun. I didn’t consider myself a Real-Time Tactics kinda guy.

With the lookout taken care of, the second part of my plan automatically kicks into action, as I sneak from the bushes and take care of a patrolling thug, before dragging his lifeless body away to hide in the bushes.ĭesperados III is full of little moments like this, tense scenarios and setups that can be completed in a variety of different ways. I fire, the sound muffled and out of earshot from the nearby guards. Lining up my shot, waiting until just the right moment as the guard looks away.

Every few minutes lightning illuminates the landscape, and for a brief second, I am certain I will be spotted among the bushes.
