Desperados III (Xbox One/SX)

Für das, was Desperados III sein will, macht es seine Sache hervorragend. Mimimi Productions verstehen ihr Handwerk in der Echtzeit-Strategie und demonstrieren eindrucksvoll, dass man hier womöglich das beste Spiel seines Genres abgeliefert hat. Das Western-Setting wurde stilvoll umgesetzt und auch die Charaktere können, bis auf eine kleine Ausnahme, vollends überzeugen.

Desperados 3 is a superb package. It's a clever, cunning game of stealth and tactical thinking that, thanks to a generous quick-save system and wealth of informative visual cues, entices you to tinker with all the toys it has on offer and fully explore the possibility spaces of its elaborate levels. There's no need for a do-over here; Desperados 3 is a dead-eye shot on the very first try.

Desperados III is an easy sell for anyone who has played the series before. The modernized gameplay and overall style will have veterans feeling right at home, excited to hear more of protagonist John Cooper’s cowboy revenge lifestyle. New players should also take solace in knowing that the game is readily accessible for them as well.

Desperados 3 is an uncompromising tactical stealth game that tests your patience and rewards your willingness to experiment. Playing with a charming team of toy soldier-sized assassins in a series of deadly and detailed dioramas is tough and requires a lot of trial and error, but success is more rousing than a whiskey chaser.

Desperados 3 is a fun jaunt through the Wild West on a classic tale of revenge. Mixed with stealth strategy with a diverse roster of badasses this real-time tactics game gives rise to a lot of cool gameplay moments. Yeehaw!
