Desperados 3

[ArsE82]

Anyone else playing this ?

Half price at the moment on Steam but it's also available on consoles. I'm only an hour or so in but great fun so far. Really nice graphics and music, and the voice acting is great.

It's not really "turn-based" like XCOM as you don't have a limited number of moves you can make, but it's isometrical point & click. I'm finding it quite relaxing as a sofa game!

Yeah I grabbed it on the Epic sale, only managed an hour or so on it but played the earlier games and like you say it's a great one to relax to. Worth checking out Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun as that was their first game that came out a couple of years back, similar style but set in feudal Japan.

Bought this on a whim, not a fan.

Cheers for that. I'm just finishing off the DLC of Desperados now and have really enjoyed the game and storyline. I'll get hold of Shadow Tactics shortly I think.

Just not your genre?

Number of things I reckon, it was an impulse purchase after seeing on sale on Steam. Loved the 'look' of it, reviews were very positive, like that kind of isometric viewpoint in games like Company of Heroes and the like.

Didn't gel with the style of play, thought I would give it some time but it just felt like really old tech and laborious to play. Wish I'd just refunded it while I had the chance, you live and learn.
