It's technically a prequel to the original Desperados, but Desperados 3 is actually a spiritual successor to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. If you played Mimimi Productions' previous stealth action game, then you are far more prepared for this spaghetti western romp than you would be knowing what the future adventures of protagonist John Cooper look like.
You'd also probably have your expectations set pretty high, considering Shadow Tactics was a landmark entry into a genre that's become more and more niche through the passing of time. Rest assured, not only is Desperados 3 a worthy successor to Mimimi's instant classic, it's quite possibly the best real time strategy game in years. Desperados 3 is a stealth strategy game, but it resembles more of a crossword or sudoku puzzle to me. When your party is tucked in a bush, watching guards trot in predictable, but hard to penetrate patrols, assessing the battlefield feels like scanning rows or columns for one stray number to betray the rest of the cypher.
