Desperados III 2020

Is it still worth playing?

A 2020 real time tactics game set in the Old West, in which Cooper, a bounty hunter, gathers a band of outlaws to hunt down Frank, the bandit who killed his father. Seen from above, each mission has you get one or all of your party somewhere, then find something or kill someone. Every guard has a view cone: crouch in its dashed part, hide in bushes, stay out of the solid part. You knock out and tie up enemies or kill them, set up accidents such as a falling boulder, and hide the bodies before a patrol finds them. Each character has their own tools: Cooper a throwing knife and two pistols, Hector a bear trap, Kate disguises to lure guards, Doctor McCoy a sniper rifle and swamp gas. Showdown Mode pauses time so you can queue actions and fire them together. Today every level is still a puzzle with many answers, because each character's tools combine with the others'.
