![]() ![]() Watching a well though out plan that involves every member of your crew combining abilities feels so good that it’s almost sexual. ![]() Cooper’s tossed coin might draw a guard’s gaze to McCoy’s bag, giving Kate enough time to knock out a pesky guard and drag him to a nearby bush. If you want more finite control, each person’s part of the plan can be activated separately. Then, with a tap of Y you can execute the plan, each member of your crew doing exactly what you commanded simultaneously. On the standard difficulty this pauses time entirely and lets you plot out actions for as many characters as you like. The ultimate form of teamwork is Showdown mode. The level design is superb at making things feel impossible with tricky patrols and overlapping cones of view mean that just stepping out of a bush will probably get you killed faster than the people in the first five minutes of a horror film. With the right stick you can scour the environment, while tapping left on the D-pad lets you bring up a guard’s cone of vision. I love that feeling of doing something the developers never even considered, even if I’m sure they absolutely did, such is the care and attention lavished throughout Desperados 3.Įach mission will give you either some or all of your crew and you can jump between them at will. The whole thing felt organic, like the way I did was unique. Mission done, I controlled the poor sod back down the party and nobody was ever the wiser. With a clear line of sight she took control of my victim and walked him up to the rooftop away from prying eyes where Kate then picked his pockets for the letter. McCoy I cleared out the rooftop and got Isabelle up there. But I couldn’t find a moment where the target wasn’t in view of a guard and thus Kate couldn’t work her magic. Now, Kate can pickpocket people, so I set out to get her a disguise so that she could waltz into the target’s property unchallenged. While I could just kill all three and search their bodies I wanted to be a little more elegant, so after doing some casual eavesdropping on the public streets I determined the exact target. Here’s a good example of a situation: in the city of New Orleans I was tasked with getting a letter that was held by one of three targets. And yes, you can take control of the chicken, if you like. But her real party trick is that by sacrificing a chunky of health she can take control of a foe and force them to do as she wants, including shooting someone, though that takes them a while to do so you need to pick a smart moment. Isabelle also has a handy cat who can momentarily distract a guard with its sheer cuteness. Or if you want to get really strange you can link the fate of a chicken to a guard, because reasons. Even a distraction like Kate’s flirting will affect both targets. This opens up a wealth of new possibilities to play around with, like connecting a hog-tied guard to another enemy and then chucking the hog-tied fool off a cliff. First, she can connect two targets together so that anything which happens to one will happen to the other. Her name is Isabelle, and she has some very cool tricks. She’s also the one that might just put fans of the series off, because she introduces voodoo into proceedings. The fifth and final character is the most intriguing of the bunch, hence why she’s getting a whole paragraph to herself. Then there’s Cooper who boasts a deadly throwing knife, an infinite supply of coins that can distract guards and dual-pistols for taking down two targets at once. McCoy, meanwhile, has a long-range pistol and a handy medical bag that lures in curious foes before delivering a burst of stunning gas into their faces. She can also flirt to distract guards and even lure them away. But she makes up for that with her blinding perfume vials, a near-silent Derringer pistol and the ability to disguise herself so that she can amble around without the enemy giving her a second look. On the other side of things you’ve got the lovely Kate O’ Hara, who has to drag bodies very slowly. He’s also capable of running while carrying two dead bodies, and is the only one of the crew who can take on a Long Coat in a melee fight. Big-boy Hector, for example, has a massive bear-trap called Bianca that enemies somehow can never spot despite it being roughly the size of an actual bear.
