That being said, Desperados III characters are not direct copies of their Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun cousins, and most characters have access to at least one character ability that their Shadow Tactics counterpart did not, such as Hector (Desperados III) having access to traps which were only available to Yuki a stealth-based character from Shadow Tactics, and Desperados III’s stealth-based character Isabella having access to a pet ability that is functionally identical to the one used by Takuma, the sniper archetype from Shadow Tactics. Similarities with Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.ĭesperados III is essentially Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun with a new coat of paint, and honestly, I am fine with that while Desperados III has improved upon the formula somewhat, after playing both for a considerable amount of time, its easy to spot just how similar they ware, with the majority of playable characters sharing the vast majority of their abilities with their Shadow Tactics incarnation. Image credit Desperados III - Published by THQ Nordic and developed by Mimimi Games. While Desperados III’s base game narrative ends on a traditional note as our heroes walk off into the proverbial sunset after righting a longstanding wrong, the 3 part story available to season pass holders (or purchased separately) follows our cast of characters as they head out on a smaller adventure, whose ending has proven very controversial, with some feeling that the original ending was better.Ĭonversely, I feel like the DLC ending feels like it should have been part of the base game, unlike the standalone DLC (Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice) released for Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, which took place during the events of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, without changing the outcome of the narrative, Desperados III’s DLC missions change the party and their relationship with one another in important ways that would make the DLC a requirement to understand the lore of the series, if and when a sequel should arrive. Unlike most developers who aim to wrap up each story with a clean and happy ending, Mimimi Games is more than happy to shake things up by introducing plot twists late in the plot, making a traditional happy ending impossible. To facilitate this better, the developers have incorporated a quick save/load functionality that allows players to seamlessly save and reload as many times as they like, ensuring that players still learning the ropes can see Desperados III’s surprisingly good narrative through to its conclusion. This playstyle takes split-second precision, and as such most players will find themselves saving and reloading dozens, if not hundreds, of times while they are new to the game. While players are welcome to attempt blundering their way through each mission, wracking up a massive body count as they do so, veteran players and those wishing to play the game correctly will take a more tactical approach by skillfully eliminating small groups of enemies at a time and carefully disposing of their bodies before moving onto another group. High Production Values.ĭesperados III is an incredibly well-polished game, with every aspect of gameplay, from sound design to performance, being of exceptional quality, which is a big part of why Mimimi Games are some of the most respected developers in the genre. Desperados III is one of the greatest Real Time Tactics ( RTT) games ever released and should be viewed as a benchmark for developers working on RTT titles for decades to come. ![]()
