We had a little fun recently and along with the Bounty Mode Update we have implemented a simple level editing functionality to Desperados III. Even 20+ hours into the game, I still found myself sometimes fighting with the controls.Since Shadow Tactics, many of you have been requesting a level editor for our games. Well, today we make your wish come true … partly. The camera controls were the most frustrating – particularly when moving or selecting a character and realizing I forgot to centre my camera on them. The biggest issue I had with Desperados III was the controls which sometimes felt like I was awkwardly juggling. One level features are heroes all waking up with brutal hangovers the laidback, woozy music only helped embellish that fact. You can tell that great care was taken in ensuring the music matched the tone of the level. The soundtrack for Desperados III is an impressive accomplishment featuring unique tracks for each mission. One really neat feature unique to the PlayStation 4 is that the light bar’s colour will change depending on which of the five protagonists is being controlled or speaking. There is a lot of dialogue in the game and the voice-acting is top-notch, especially the five protagonists. The entire game is presented through a birds-eye view perspective – even during in-game cutscenes where the characters are plotting the mission.

Details in the environments are spectacular and sometimes even functional your characters will leave noticeable footprints in muddy areas. From the busy streets of New Orleans to the shorelines of the Mississippi, Desperados III will take you on Wild West tour. Some took me over 2 hours.Įach level features a unique look and feel that could have been ripped out of a classic western film. With a couple of exceptions, most levels will take at least an hour to complete. Long Coats are the most powerful enemy you’ll encounter and you’ll need your team to work in unison to take one down – well, unless you’ve got Hector Mendoza, he’s strong enough to take any enemy down. Kate O’Hara’s can use her flirty ways to distract most enemies, however, this will only work on the men, women won’t buy into her charms, and neither will the brutal Long Coats. However, more clever enemies like Ponchos will be a lot more difficult to distract. Your enemies come in a number of varieties gunmen and gunwomen will fall for most tricks, like Doc Mccoy’s decoy bag. Levels have been meticulously designed to force you to constantly re-evaluate your plan. Showdown will freeze time and let you plot out your attack, so you can use more than one character simultaneously – particularly useful if you have two or more enemies keeping a watchful eye on each other and you need to pick them all off in one fell swoop. Of course, there were occasions when a more aggressive approach was required and that’s where the handy Showdown mode comes in handy. It was always such a satisfying feeling lurking in the shadows and picking off my prey one enemy at a time. While the game suggests you could take a guns-blazing approach, I found a stealthy approach was much more enjoyable.

You’ll need to assess your surrounding constantly and determine which skill would be best used at any given time. Depending on the mission, you’ll control up to five different characters, each with a specific set of skills and abilities. Desperados III is a real-time tactics game.
