For example, the spy can distract an enemy and make him look the other way so another characters can sneak by–or you can take down multiple enemies, who are watching each other, at the same time if you combine the skills of the characters in a clever way. The major difference from Desperados III to a game like Hitman is that you can control up to 5 characters simultaneously and combine their skills. In the “Civil Zones” you can also listen in on conversations of NPCs to get hints on new gameplay options. Also, in Desperados III we added the so-called “Civil Zones.” This is a new feature in the real-time tactics genre that allows you to move freely in designated areas of a level, as long as you don´t act suspicious. However, similar to Hitman, we also have a spy-like character, who can disguise herself to blend in.

In Desperados III you usually play in hostile environments, where you have to avoid to be seen all the time. Meaning the player is trying to blend into a scenario and mostly executing their plans while nobody is looking. Hitman is often called a social stealth game. Perhaps it might be useful to contrast it with a few games that have elements in common? So briefly, how is Desperados III similar to, and different from, say, Hitman? For me personally, real-time creates a more believable game world where everything is simulated and reacting to you at any time. Still, you can pause the game with the so-called “Showdown Mode” at any time to rethink your tactics or to synchronize your characters’ unique skills. There are no artificial pauses where somebody is waiting for someone else to make his move or turn. When you engage your enemies, you have to execute everything with the right timing. While in safety, you have to carefully plan your next steps if you want to succeed.

You play up to five characters simultaneously and combine their unique skills to master large maps swarming with enemies. It’s a story-driven, real-time tactics game with a focus on stealth, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario. Desperados III ( Steam, GoG, Xbox Live, Playstation Store) is a prequel to the beloved classic Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive (2001). I’m the creative director and founder of Mimimi Games.
