Evaluation

Desperados III launched on June 16, 2020 and received a three-part paid DLC campaign called "Money for the Vultures" as part of the Season Pass. The three parts shipped on September 2, October 6, and November 3, 2020, with Part 3 explicitly described as "the epic finale" that "concludes the Desperados III Season Pass." All five items in the DLC list — the Season Pass, the Soundtrack, and all three mission packs — are released with no unreleased entries remaining. Beyond the paid DLC, the developer shipped several free updates throughout 2020 adding Baron's Challenge missions, a Bounty Mode, and a level editor — all of which have been delivered. The last developer communication specifically about Desperados III was a December 9, 2020 patch post. After that, Mimimi Games shifted focus to their next game, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, which was announced in January 2023 and launched in August 2023. No further content for Desperados III has been announced or teased at any point since the Season Pass concluded. The game shipped as a complete story-driven experience, its Season Pass was fully delivered by November 3, 2020, and there are no outstanding commitments or announced future content. Desperados III is a finished product.

About this game

Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario.



In this long-awaited prequel to the beloved classic Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, John Cooper will join forces with the runaway bride Kate, the shady hitman Doc McCoy, the giant trapper Hector, and Isabelle, a mysterious lady from New Orleans. On Cooper’s quest for redemption, his adventures lead him and his gang from rural towns, over swamps and riverbanks, and finally to a dramatic showdown worthy of Wild West legends.



Play smart if you want to succeed. A good plan can make the difference between survival and finding yourself at the business end of a pistol.



Drifter, gunslinger, and natural leader Cooper can kill quietly with a knife, or take out multiple foes with his revolvers. Strongman Hector carries a giant bear trap and can slay the toughest opponents with his trusty axe. Cold blooded bounty hunter McCoy likes to be methodical, using lures, knockout gas, poison syringes and a custom long-range pistol. Kate can fool almost any man with the right outfit, and kills discreetly with her hidden gun. And then there is this mysterious woman from New Orleans, Isabelle…
