Rating: 10/10 I thought I was walking into a CRPG. What I actually got was a top-down Assassin’s Creed . And honestly, it’s one of the best surprises I’ve ever had in a while. Desperados III is pure brilliance. Sixteen big, gorgeous levels, each one a puzzle box where you sneak, stab, set traps, and improvise your way through. The campaign took me over 40+ hours and I loved every second. The soundtrack feels straight out of a Hollywood's wild west, and the gameplay is pure perfection. What makes it shine is it's freedom. No handholding, no 20-minute cutscenes teaching you how to click a mouse or press F to pay respect. The game just drops you in and says, “here’s the tools, cowboy, figure it out.” I spent 2 hours staring at patrol routes, 15 minutes pulling off the perfect plan. And when that plan actually works, the satisfaction is unreal. The crew is fantastic too. Hector bulldozes through enemies, Kate plays the trickster, and everyone has their own quirks that force you to mix and match strategies. It’s a shame Mimimi Games shut down, but they went out on a high note. Desperados III isn’t just a game, it’s the Wild West playground we didn’t know we needed. Farewell Mimimi, and thanks for the memories.

Geeze, I was halfway through this game when I learned that Mimimi Games have folded, which is disappointing, especially after seeing the love and effort they put into this in Desperados 3. The game starts slowly but becomes much harder as you progress. While I enjoy RT stealth tactics, I haven’t really played many since Commandos back in the day, and I found Normal difficulty a real slog after the first 6-7 missions or so, and switched to Beginner, which was still tough (or perhaps I suck at these games now). The gameplay improves over time, with deep tactical options that you can synchronise with crew’s unique skillsets to perform creative kills. My favourite was the Voodoo Queen. Overall, it’s an excellent game with strong replay value due to its tactical options, challenges and diverse missions (there's even a bounty hunter mode, which adds new challenges to existing missions). The graphics were really impressive, but the story and dialogue are average.

Shadow Tactics with guns and voodoo.

Probably the best stealth action top-down game you will ever play. Good story, great gameplay, impressive level design and world building. RIP Mimimi.

Jan. 2025

Absolutely fantastic game. It retains the original flavour and atmosphere of the previous games, but it's up to date and improved with another immersive story. Love the playable characters and their backstories (especially John's and Hector's). The game play and the combinations of outcomes is superb. I love the little summary after each mission, which shows you how you solved the map and where/how you eliminated your enemies; I also love the statistics and achievements at the end of each mission. Especially the fact that I didn't achieve most of the goals, that makes me go back and replay the game and try to get as many as I can. I love that after you finish the main campaign there are DLC missions and other side missions you can do. There are 3 chapters in the game: Chapter 1: 6 missions Chapter 2: 6 missions Chapter 3: 4 missions I am working my way through chapter 3, but I can't wait to finish it, so I can restart it all over again! I am at an age where games have to be really good to keep my interest high in order to give my time to playing them. Desperados III does that and it's absolutely fantastic. Loved the previous ones (when I was waaay younger) I love this one (in my more mature years)! Highly recommended!
