![]() It takes place on gorgeous, colourful maps, most of them being sprawling sandboxes with multiple targets and the freedom to approach them in any order you like. Like Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3 is a real-time isometric stealth game where you’re given control over a small squad of guys and girls who have to sneak their way through missions, breaking into things and murdering almost everyone that stands in their way. And, most importantly, the Shadow Mode (now called Showdown Mode) from Shadow Tactics. The disguise-wearing hijinx and zany setpiece deaths from Hitman. The supernatural experimentation of Dishonored. It’s got the isometric thrill of Commandos. ![]() You’ll be playing this for some damn fine stealth video gaming.ĭesperados 3 is like a greatest hits compilation, combining all of my favourite elements from my other favourite stealth games. Which is fine, because you won’t be playing this for the story. Indeed the game’s story and characters are so cliched and one-dimensional that it doesn’t matter what is being set up here. Out of this downtime though has come a pleasant surprise: a genuine game of the year contender emerging out of the long-dormant Desperados franchise.ĭespite this being the third game in a series that began in 2001, Desperados 3 is actually a prequel, so you won’t be missing out on a single thing if this is your first rodeo.
