The Wild West. A place where the law is made by those with a gun in their hands, and is enforced by the henchmen at their command. A place where death is no stranger and the undertakers are working overtime… especially when people start playing Desperados III. This real-time tactics game, developed by German game studio Mimimi Games (Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun), lets players command a band of Desperados led by fan-favourite gunslinger John Cooper.

A game I'm willing to say is nearly perfect. At the very least one of my favorite stealth games and quickly becoming one of my favorite games ever. I just don't have many complaints here.
What you have is top tier stealth gameplay combined with all the delightful strategy of the tactics genre to make for some very solid challenge that will get you thinking creatively through some super tight and polished maps. Every encounter is a puzzle with like a trillion solutions. Every solution felt like my own and none of them unsatisfying.
In fact, I'm going to say every mission is a banger. They strike a great balance between variety while mingling various scenarios together. Maybe some of the smartest ramp up in difficulty I've seen. Especially as you get new members for your party.
Which party wise, I think it's incredible how often you're encouraged to use each character pretty equally and each's set of abilities ensures none of them don't fill a niche. I think my favorite combo ended up being Hector + Isabelle.
Though everyone has at least one that has it's moments, but largely goes ignored. Kind of says a lot that like... 3 characters get a healing option instead of another gadget. The final mission's difficulty can also be so high as to feel a little trial and error at times (or am I too impatient?).
Still, with this incredible presentation (this game is a stunner to me and has a great soundtrack), slick stealth (a genre I will always love the most), and near perfect level design, I'm head over heels.
Also worth noting, there's some very solid replayability with the post-mission challenges and the baron's unique challenge missions that are short and sweet. The game is also adapted pretty well for controllers. Giving you direct control over characters movements and a unique HUD. Fantastic Steam Deck game too.

Desperados III is a wild west tactics game that'll test your brain way more than your reflexes. Each level is a huge puzzle where you gotta sneak your team of cowboys and outlaws around, taking out guards with stealth, traps, and good ol' fashioned gunfights. It's tough as nails and the story's kinda forgettable, but holy cow, figuring out the perfect plan is super satisfying. If you love a good strategy challenge and the wild west vibes, definitely give this one a shot.
Mükemmel kalitede bir oyun. Aklın sınırlarını zorladığın, Taktik kastığın en sonda dayanamayıp Hector ile doğrayıp geçtiğin mis gibi bir oyun. Oynanır.
Jogo tem tudo de bom:
personagens interessantes... história boa... visual maneiro... maas tem uma hora que a gameplay cansa
(um dia eu volto p terminar)

Played through it with a friend of mine and had a lot of fun. Many improvements compared to Shadow Tactics, the fast-forward feature is a blessing. Cool dynamics between the characters, Hector is great and the gameplay is pretty much the pinnacle of tactics games, must play if you're a tactics fan, absolutely brilliant.
This is Mimimi's best game, and one of the best stealth games ever. I was absolutely glued to this game and I hardly noticed that I spent 52 hours on it (including the DLC).
The challenges you face can seem overwhelming at first, but as you find ways to take enemies out of the equation, they become much more manageable. Figuring out how to overcome a seemingly impossible situation was immensely rewarding. Each character has unique abilities that are enormously fun to combine with the abilities of other characters, creating near endless ways to solve any problem.
The story was enjoyable, mostly because the characters were so entertaining. I got plenty of laughs from the character banter, as well as hilarious dialogue from NPCs and some funny situations the gang gets into.
I also must praise the excellent soundtrack.
If you like stealth do yourself a favour and play this game.
