The real-time tactics series in the Wild West goes into its third round with Desperados 3. The game was developed by Mimimi Games and released in June 2020 by THQ Nordic. Both PC players and owners of the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One can enjoy it.
Desperados 3 offers exciting challenges for real-time tactics fans. In the merciless Wild West, you control one or more characters with individual abilities, depending on the level. Both the setting and the gameplay offer a lot of variety. The game uses an isometric perspective from above, providing enough overview to plan your moves. As a rule, you fight your way from one location on the map to a specific marker or deliberately kill individual enemies, which are usually very well guarded. Open combat only occurs in exceptional situations in Desperados, because you are usually outnumbered by your cowboy team.
The playable characters and their individual skills are varied. For example, protagonist John Cooper is able to silently kill enemies from a distance, as he is an excellent knife thrower. After the action, the knife must be picked up again before the attack can be carried out again. On the other hand, Doctor McCoy can fall back on a special doctor's bag, which attracts the attention of enemies. If they open the bag, they will be temporarily stunned by a poison, making it easy to eliminate them.
It is usually advisable to hide the bodies of the opponents in bushes, as patrols will otherwise discover them and raise the alarm. There is also a female character with Kate O'Hara. She can walk unnoticed through enemy territory with special outfits or temporarily blur the vision of opponents by throwing perfume bottles at them. Unlike her male counterparts, however, Miss O'Hara cannot kill enemies, but only temporarily stun them. So each character has both positive and negative properties, which tests your tactical skills again and again. Muscle man Hector is extremely deadly with his axe and bear trap, but not necessarily the fastest. He can also shoot several enemies at the same time with his shotgun, but makes such a noise that all enemies in the area are usually after him shortly afterwards. At the end of a level, which consists of several sections that flow into each other, we get a detailed overview of our performance. Here we can see which character has eliminated how many enemies and can also read our total time. In addition, there are several optional challenges per level, ranging from a certain playing time to the use of predetermined weapons or skills. Desperados 3 lifts the venerable real-time tactical genre into the modern age and offers a varied and challenging gaming experience in which tactical geniuses can prove their skills.
