Desperados III

Coming from Mimimi Games, the developer of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III is an accomplished real-time tactical stealth game that is practically flawless outside of some minor technical issues. Those seeking a title that they can really sink their teeth into, learning the ins and outs of its world so that they can master it will find a hell of a lot to enjoy here, especially ...

Thanks to the Mimimi Games, the genre established by the unforgettable Commandos makes a big return. With their second stealth-RTS, the German studio not only solidified it's reputation as masters of the genre, but also brought Desperados back to life!

A bag sits in the middle of the grass. Noticing something suspicious, the guard wanders over to check it out. In this modern age, the next step would likely be to call the bomb squad, but this isn’t the 21st century. This is the Wild West. The guard looks around but there’s no-one there. Now out of sight of his companion, there’s no-one to witness his next move and his first thought is what he can...

I'm going to spoil my review of Desperados III right from the beginning: This is a bloody good game. No, that's a lie, it's a great game. I had a lot of confidence in Mimimi Productions, the developers, after their previous outing with Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. A confidence that was solidified when I had two previews of Desperados III at Gamescom in 2018 and then 2019. The final result...

A solid real-time strategy experience that provides a fair challenge for players of all skillsets

At full price I would say make sure you know exactly what this game is before buying it. It’s excellent, but this genre isn’t going to be for everyone. On Game Pass though this one is a no-brainer to give a try. The install size isn’t huge, but the amount of high-quality content contained within is. Desperados III is out for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4/5 and PC. It is on Game Pass for Console, ...

Desperados III is definitely worth seeing through to the end, whether it be for the fun western tale it tells or the deep tactical stealth gameplay it offers.

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

Desperados III is a great stealth tactic game with great graphics, music, voice acting, characters and story but can feel like a rehash of previous games made by the same developers.

Desperados 3 is a fun jaunt through the Wild West on a classic tale of revenge. Mixed with stealth strategy with a diverse roster of badasses this real-time tactics game gives rise to a lot of cool gameplay moments. Yeehaw!

Desperados III is like a decadent cake. It’s very rich in detail and design, and highly recommended, but that richness is for a certain palette that won’t appeal to everyone. Yes, it can depend on trial-and-error and the loading times can be unsavory, but it’s been awhile since a game plagued my thoughts like Desperados III. Getting a plan to work is a blast, and some excellent characterization pr...

Desperados III doesn't have much competition for the title of best cowboy-themed real-time tactical stealth game on the PlayStation 4, but that doesn't mean developer Mimimi Games is happy to take the accolade by default. This is a well crafted strategy game and one that is easy to recommend to fans of the genre, but thanks to both challenging gameplay and occasionally finicky rules, one that's un...
