It makes this game way less frustrating when you make a tiny mistake or want to try something. But believe you me, it’s a great reminder. Since, when you haven’t saved in a hot minute, you get a pop-up almost in the middle of your screen. You might think that this mechanic is quite aggressive. Something I adore in this game as well is the quick save and the quick load system.

You get various “papers” you can pick up that show a short movie on how the mechanic works. I still remember that in the original game, after you rescue a character, you get a mission with barely any enemies where you learn how that character works.

When a new character gets introduced, the mission is a sort of tutorial on how to use that character. The difficulty curve of this game is just polished extremely well. On top of that, after beaten several missions, you can unlock new challenges where you can replay a mission with additional challenges and/restrictions. You can earn badges for a more “perfect” score as well. When you are playing through it again, then you can see the optional missions. Whilst you are playing through a mission for the first time, the optional missions aren’t revealed to you. There are even missions where you can beat it without having to kill one guard. The additional missions you can do in each chapter, give a clue on how different you can beat each mission. So, you can play this game however you want.
Something that this game does extremely well is that there are various ways of tackling each mission. Understanding their abilities and when you use them, is key. One character can throw a knife whilst the other is a sniper. And all five of them have different weakness and strengths.
The main cast exists out of 5 characters. If you want to survive in these missions, you have to be very aware of the characters in your crew. For example, in one mission, you are trying to fight your way to the dock without any of your weapons and in another mission, your group is separated into two groups that start at the other side of the map. Each mission is different and not only in terms of the map you play on. In this game, you have to complete several missions with a small group of characters. So, let’s move on from the story and characters and start talking about the gameplay. If I hadn’t looked that up, for some characters I wouldn’t have been able to tell. I was surprised to learn that this game got a completely new cast to play the characters. The performances are amazing and fit their characters as a glove. I love the voice acting of all the characters. But, the story doesn’t disappoint at all. The story doesn’t overpower the game, since the star of the show is the gameplay. Let’s just say that the story of this game is quite interesting and doesn’t disappoint for your typical Western story.
You don’t want to know how many times I have rewritten this section to avoid spoiling something. Because, the main setup of the story is explained over the whole first chapter. The pacing of the story is a little weird. While we see a few familiar faces to the originals two games, we also see two brand-new characters. Basically, the backstories of the main characters are set up in this game. Since, this game is a prequel to the first game. While this is the 3rd main entry in the series, you don’t need to have played the first two games to enjoy the story in this game. But, what exactly do I think about it? Well, I’ll explain in this article while I invite you to leave a comment in the comment section with your thoughts and/or opinions on this article. I wasn’t wrong putting this game on my top 10 games I’m looking forward to in 2020 list. But then, this month’s Humble Bundle got a key for Desperados III and I bought it. I was also afraid that I wasn’t going to enjoy the game too much since… yeah my playstyle. But, a lot of different games just distracted me. When the 3rd game got announced and released in 2020, I was beyond hyped to play it. In action games, I love being more aggressive and “in your face” instead of being stealthy what that game more required. To be very honest, I never really beat the original game. It didn’t take long for me to get hooked. I still remember when I first played the original Desperados back at a friend’s place.
