Description

Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario.



In this long-awaited prequel to the beloved classic Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, John Cooper will join forces with the runaway bride Kate, the shady hitman Doc McCoy, the giant trapper Hector, and Isabelle, a mysterious lady from New Orleans. On Cooper’s quest for redemption, his adventures lead him and his gang from rural towns, over swamps and riverbanks, and finally to a dramatic showdown worthy of Wild West legends.



Play smart if you want to succeed. A good plan can make the difference between survival and finding yourself at the business end of a pistol.



Drifter, gunslinger, and natural leader Cooper can kill quietly with a knife, or take out multiple foes with his revolvers. Strongman Hector carries a giant bear trap and can slay the toughest opponents with his trusty axe. Cold blooded bounty hunter McCoy likes to be methodical, using lures, knockout gas, poison syringes and a custom long-range pistol. Kate can fool almost any man with the right outfit, and kills discreetly with her hidden gun. And then there is this mysterious woman from New Orleans, Isabelle…



Combine your team’s special skills to overcome each tough challenge in your own style.

  • Play five unique characters, each with a very particular set of skills
  • Experience true freedom of choice with countless different ways to overcome any obstacle
  • Defeat large groups of enemies with careful planning and execution
  • Witness the glory of classic Wild West scenarios like frontier towns, mysterious swamps, sprawling modern cities, and many more
  • Choose between non-lethal and deadly attacks, stealth and blazing guns
  • Adjust the game to your playstyle with various difficulty settings and special replay challenges
  • The Showdown mode allows you to pause the game anytime and react to ambushes or surprise attacks

It’s an okay game – neither great nor terrible. You can get through all the levels with little effort by making good use of F5 and F8. The story isn’t essential or particularly important. It’s a nice game to pass the

I’m probably really bad at this game. 😅 Some missions take me more than an hour, I quicksave every 10 seconds, and I still mess things up constantly… but I absolutely love Desperados III. I still haven’t finished the

If you loved robin hood the legend of sherwood forest you will love this one. It mechanics are also very polished and the best I've seen so far for the "tactical isometric stealth genre" if there is one
