It’s super handy for when you need to take out four guys at once, their cones of vision making it almost impossible to approach. At any time, you can pause the game and enter Showdown mode, letting you queue one action per character to then be performed simultaneously. The Showdown system helps your plans come together. Last but not least, there’s voodoo expert Isabelle who has the unique ability to mind control enemies and psychically link them, meaning if you kill one, the other dies in the same way.Īs you can see, each character has a particular set of skills which when experimented with in the sandbox scenarios, making for some pretty cool situations. McCoy, the shady doctor, administers an unhealthy amount of lead from a distance with his sniper rifle, while also lending his bag of doctor tools to the cause. Then there’s Miss Kate O’Hara, a master of disguise who can chat to some guards and lure others away to quiet locations for a swift knee to the happy sacks. Finally, John has two trusty resolvers which can be used to take down two enemies at once but should be used sparingly because the noise will attract others close by.Īlong the way, you meet other friends such as the aforementioned Hector with his traps and shotgun. Selecting a guard lets you see their cone of vision which is, of course, invaluable for your stealthy approach. It’s really handy when you are trying to sneak your team through an area and a guard simply won’t look away. He also carries an infinite supply of coins which he can throw like Agent 47 to distract guards and turn their attention elsewhere. He carries his trusty knife which can be used to sneak up and stab folks or throw it at them from a distance – you’ll need to retrieve it though if you do that. Starting with John Cooper, your typical western gunslinger. Over the course of the game, you get access to five characters.
After a heavy night in the Baton Rouge saloon, I watched as Hector set his traps, whistles to lure guards over, and the hides, waiting for Bianca to chomp down on their ankle.ĭesperados 3 can create a lot of situations like that, moments where you can really get creative, and I had Hector do this time and time again through the game. Having spent hours polishing his giant bear trap (which he’s lovingly named Bianca) he brings her out to play for special occasions. It also gives you time to learn each of the characters extensive skill-set. You can sit there, wait, keep trying until you get it right.
Part of the beauty is that there are no hard time limits.
