It is possible to make a decent Western-themed videogame which doesn’t have to contort itself into unusual shapes to fit into whatever the genre du jour is, which conclusively proves that the problem doesn’t lie with the setting.I’m glad I did though, because now that I’ve finished it I’ve realised two things:
This is why I never took the time to go back and play the original Desperados games, and it’s a big part of why I’ve dragged my feet on installing Desperados 3 1 until now.

This is strange because I am quite a big fan of movie Westerns, particularly anything from Sergio Leone, but I can never take them seriously when they’re transplanted into a videogame matching the mechanics to the setting is always a sufficiently contrived process that I end up feeling like I’m wandering around inside a knockoff version of Westworld and quit shortly afterwards. I’ve played a few across a range of different genres - Red Dead Redemption, Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger and Hard West are the ones which immediately spring to mind - none of which struck me as being particularly bad, but none of which I managed to stick with for more than a few hours. This may seem a little odd given how much I liked Shadow Tactics, the previous game from Desperados 3 developers Mimimi however, there’s a few reasons for that, first and foremost of which is that, historically, I haven’t liked Westerns as a setting for videogames. It’s taken me the better part of a year to get around to Desperados 3.
