At Gamescom 2019, THQ Nordic presented a new demo for Desperados 3. Thus, RockPaperShotgun has captured a video, showing 20 minutes of gameplay footage from it. This video will give you an idea of what you can expect from this new strategy game.
Desperados 3 is, as you may have guessed, heavily inspired by the previous Desperados games. Therefore, we’re talking about a modern real-time tactics game set in a harsh Wild West scenario. It’s also worth noting that this will be a prequel to the first Desperados game.
The game will allow the player to approach each mission with a wide variety of different solutions and routes. Moreover, players will have to use of both the environment and each Desperado’s unique character skills.
“You take control of a ragtag band becoming a highly functional group of unlikely heroes and heroines. The very different strong personalities struggle to cooperate at first, but ultimately join forces to combine their distinctive specialties and challenge a seemingly superior foe. Hunted by ruthless bandits and corrupt lawmen, the Desperados need to turn the tables with every mission.”
Desperados 3 currently targets a 2019 release. I’ve also included below its key features that were provided by THQ Nordic.
Desperados 3 Key Features
- Play as five completely different characters with their unique skill set
- Approach each mission with a big variety of different solutions and paths
- Resolve seemingly impossible large enemy setups with careful planning and perfectly timed execution
- Witness the glory of classic Wild West scenarios like frontier towns, mysterious swamps, sprawling modern cities and many more by day and night.
- Defeat your foes choosing between deadly and non-lethal options, stealth and blazing gun
Enjoy!

“magical negro” trope, with dishonored overpowered powers and sleeping dats.
Killing everyone, lush environments,
Seems like this is ac liberation but from a top down perspective than desperados.
Keep your racist bullshIt out of here.
????? Stupid much?
“magical negro” is a trope that has been used in so many movies and tv shows and books, how about googling that and see for yourself i did not made it up with racism. You can even find wikpedia articles explaining the trope and listing art using it.
MORON.
Hope they don’t send this game to die on EGS as an exclusive
toooo much fantasy really immersion killer for me.
This looks absolutely great. Been looking forward to the eventually sequel to the 2nd game for a long time, and this is exactly what I wanted out of it. Even though it’s a different studio the evolving of the RTT genre and especially this game is making me look forward to Commandos: 4!
So… a reskin of Shadow Tactics. I’ll pass for now, had too much of it.
These people should take a page from the first Commandos (not the expansion, that was nuts) and learn how to mix easy and tough encounters AND MAKE IT FUN.
Demo a strategy game with a controller and you’ve already lost me as a customer.
