After unlocking all characters, you’ll be tackling most of the remaining chapters with all of them, adding another layer of challenge to the mix. Unlocking Kate for instance is a particularly hard task, given her skill set while Isabelle was a much easier task. You’ll slowly make your way towards them as you progress the story in a seamless way. Not all characters are available from the beginning of the game. Kate can steal items like keys from enemies, so she’s another useful asset to each battle. For instance, Doc is vital for picking locks, and most of the time he’s not even happy about it. However, Desperados 3 has a way of making all characters vital in each map, giving them use in each situation. If I had the chance I would use Kate and Doc less and utilize Isabelle and Hector more in all chapters. Isabelle is by far the most fun-to-play characters with abilities that take control of enemies, chaining abilities, and healing. The last two characters and, honestly, the most versatile ones are Hector Mendoza, a powerhouse using traps, axes and shotguns, and Isabelle Moreau a voodoo specialist. You’ll also follow Kate O’Hara, a runaway bride with a lineup set for distraction and intel gathering while Arthur “Doc” McCoy is your go-to medic and a master in chemicals. We have John Cooper, your classic western gunman and my personal favorite character to play as. In Desperados 3, you have 5 characters at your disposal, each with his/her very own set of skills. The story behind Desperados 3 is a story of revenge going back to the very roots of the franchise. Even though I haven’t played the previous games, the cutscenes and character dialogs kept me well informed about what I was doing pretty much the whole time. Starting off with the basics, we have a Wild West setting and a prequel story to that of the original Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive. Is this game perfect? No, there are parts of it that would need some refinement but I wouldn’t trade the experience for something else. I’m an avid strategy fan but the challenge Desperados 3 provides kept me glued to the screen for hours upon hours. Honestly, this was the first time I got in contact with the Desperados franchise and I wasn’t exactly sure what I was up against. Is it the right fit for you? What can you expect when you first boot up the game? Mimimi Games has taken real-time tactics to a level that even the most hardcore players will find their challenge. Desperados 3 releases in a few days and I had the chance to play and review the game early. After two successful games and a strategy that will scratch your brain for days, the third game is right around the corner. Desperados is one of those franchises that are easy to miss but super hard to leave.
