The rigidness of the rules can, on occasion, lead to frustration. You can see what the guards can see in the form of a cone of vision, and you can use the environment as both a shield to stay hidden and as a weapon by arranging "accidents" to bump people off without arousing suspicion.
The stealth mechanics are quite clearly laid out early in the game, and it all starts simply enough, but the difficulty quickly ramps up. Along the way he'll meet a variety of colourful characters, each with their own unique gameplay quirks, and it's your job to direct them, utilising their abilities as best you can to make it through each level unscathed. The story follows Cooper - a bounty hunter with a heart of gold - as he tracks a ruthless gunslinger named Frank, with whom he's got a score to settle. The missions usually involve getting one or all of your party to a specific location and either finding something or killing somebody, but there's a few curveballs thrown in to keep you on your toes. You view the action from an elevated position and move your posse through each map using the cover of darkness and shrubbery to avoid being seen by guards, lawmen, or merciless villains. You're always outnumbered and outgunned, so the aim of the game is to achieve your goals being neither seen nor heard. This is a well crafted strategy game and one that is easy to recommend to fans of the genre, but thanks to both challenging gameplay and occasionally finicky rules, one that's unlikely to win over newcomers.įollowing in the footsteps of classic RTS sneak 'em ups like Commandos and Shadow Tactics, Desperados puts you in control of a band of outlaws in the old West, and it's up to you to guide them through increasingly dangerous missions. Desperados III doesn't have much competition for the title of best cowboy-themed real-time tactical stealth game on the PlayStation 4, but that doesn't mean developer Mimimi Games is happy to take the accolade by default.
