No wonder, then, that even as a seasoned gunfighter he continues to pursue this trade. He was accustomed to weapons and the infiltration of enemy bases by his father from an early age and was trained for it, as you can experience for yourself in the first tutorial mission in Desperados 3. We play in Desperados as the bounty hunter John Cooper, already known from the predecessors. Gameplay – Characters and Skillsĭesperados 3 Test-Review – Characters and Skills Once we have given instructions in this mode, we can then let the time run again and wait for the most opportune moment, and then activate “Execute” so that our heroes put the decisions they made before into action. This results in something like a kind of mini-script. In some cases, instructions can be chained together or the actions of several characters in different places can be precisely coordinated. Then the game pauses, and we can give instructions to all the figures, which they then execute in parallel. But we also have the possibility to switch to a kind of stop-and-go mode at any time. Most things happen in real-time and require very good timing. A more direct approach will therefore usually be much more dangerous and difficult than analyzing the situation in detail and skilfully looking for gaps in patrol routes and visibility and then exploiting them. An alarm does not immediately mean the end of the mission, but the extra guards do not make the game any easier to play. ![]() That’s why we should ideally avoid this case and sneak through the enemy’s cones of sight, distract them with special tricks of the heroes, or at least attack from the ambush in such a way that no alarm is triggered if possible. All enemies have fixed patrol routes, but if an alarm is triggered, they can react very unexpectedly and request reinforcements. We control multiple characters, more to come about these in a moment. Such games are typically organized in separate maps, which in the case of Desperados 3 can be quite large. Desperados 3 – Game Typeĭesperados is a sneak tactics real-time strategy game. With MiMiMi Games, they have now hired a new, tactic-game experienced developer to revive the Desperados brand. The trademark rights to the Desperados brand then apparently passed to THQ Nordic over time. Parts of the studio were transferred to the new company Black Forest Games, which today is again very successful in producing games, currently for example Destroy all Humans! Unfortunately, the studio stumbled after the death of the founder in 2009, so that the company had to go into liquidation in 2012. The games were then developed by Spellbound Entertainment. Both games were moderately successful at that time, Metacritic scores of 78% and 66% indicate a success, which however could not quite keep up with Commando’s original success. The first part of the series was called “Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive” and was already released in 2001, followed by a sequel with “Desperados 2: Cooper’s Revenge”. You control individual heroes, all of whom have special abilities, through a strategic map, dodging enemy cones of sight as best as you can and using the very different strengths of the characters to clear a map of enemies one by one. ![]() But first trailers and a demo version already showed the positive trend of where the new cowboy sneak tactics game will go.ĭesperados is a series that is roughly based on the classic Commandos. So the expectations for Desperados 3 have been quite high from the beginning. MiMiMi was recently very successful in the strategy area with Shadow Tactics and the Desperados series was quite a popular brand. ![]() Desperados Serie – Backgroundĭesperados 3 Test-Review – Background Infoĭesperados 3 is developed by the German studio MiMiMi Productions from Munich and published by THQ Nordic.
