Leaving a dead body on the ground in front of enemies will sound an alarm even an enemy dying from a knife throw will attract someone’s attention quickly.
However, the key to stealth in Desperados III is that you need to be able to follow up on your kills.
The game’s protagonist, John Cooper, is equipped with a blade he can use for typical stealth takedowns, or he can throw it for long-range kills. Whether it’s slinking around the green-tinted bayou or hiding between rooftops as you sneak across an upper-class town, Desperados III features massive maps littered with enemies and ways for you to take them out.

It’s definitely not for the inpatient however as you’ll sometimes spend hours on one level slowly working out how to handle each enemy encounter efficiently.Īs this is set during the wild west you do have access to firearms and even a character with an explosive double-barrel shotgun, but Desperados III does encourage stealth, and that is the most rewarding way to play the game. You can move your entire crew as one group around the map or split them up and play out two different objectives at the same time - some missions even encourage this.ĭesperados III isn’t so much about trial and error gameplay as much as it’s about having the freedom to discover cause-and-effect. It’s disappointing that the genre may be the one thing keeping more players from playing what is one of the year’s best games, and the most fun I’ve had playing a stealth game in recent memory other than the Hitman series.Īs a real-time tactics game, you’ll spend the majority of your time scoping out the map in an isometric view and moving your characters one by one into cover or position for kills. The real-time, tactical stealth prequel to the long-dormant franchise is hard, but not to the point of being utterly frustrating. I would love to know how many times I pressed the F5 and F8 keys to quick save and quick load while playing through Desperados III.
