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

I know the game is received extremely well, but it just isn't for me. Both Shadow Tactics and Desperados III scenarios feel very unrewarding in terms of the outcome. You spend long minutes deciding on a strategy, make a

If you're familiar with Shadow Tactics, this is the Spaghetti Western version of that game. It has a great storyline, unique characters with different abilities, and I believe anyone looking for a great real-time

One of the game's greatest strengths is the incredible freedom it gives players when approaching objectives. Every map feels like a carefully designed puzzle with countless possible solutions. Stealth is often the

Great game with really amazing gameplay but it's more of a puzzle game combined with stealth so if you aren't into really slow gameplay, maybe skip out on this one. It's slow up until you execute your attack where you
