I played the first Desperados back in 2001. I totally loved it. They kept the magic in this one, well done!
Superb RTS + stealth combo! If you liked the original Desperados back in 2001, this will surely feel nostalgic, but also very fresh and modern!
Highly Recommended! Originally I played Shadow Tactics which has the same game engine... also Highly recommend if you want more of the same. I very much enjoyed that - and thought I'd give this game a try. So glad I did - the story is also engaging - character's are likeable in a twisted humorous macabre way - Hector is one sick psycho puppy but doe's make you laugh and is oddly likeable. All good voice acting and nice music score. All characters have their own unique abilities and overall it's a nice balance. Not going to give too much away ... It's definitely worth buying the DLC's when on offer ... just three maps but each are very good and can take up to 5+ hours each. So on a second playthrough you're getting an extra 30 hours gameplay. The barons challenges are very welcome addition. Short missions using old maps with new objectives that are pretty challenging. Fairly sure these are inclusive to the core game.. But can't be certain as I bought the game bundled with the DLC's . I've completed it on normal difficulty so far and intend to play it on the Hard setting. Even on normal... maps can be a challenge. so averagely I've spend about 5+ hours per map as I like to hide all the bodies and not kill any civilians. I encountered only one tiny bug - where the cursor got stuck on the eye symbol. but just reloaded a pervious save and this corrected it. It's such a shame Mimimi are now defunct they have done some really well thought out entertainment here. Let's hope they get another company together going in the future.
