The replay function gave me an instant boner. Good idea.

This. Especially in later levels it's a fucking puzzle, not a tactics game.
i painstakingly did not kill anyone just so i can do this

Finished last night.
Great game - sound, music and VO were exceptional. Plenty of different ways to finish most levels. The last level was fantastic especially the final showdown.
Probably enjoyed it a little more than Shadow Tactics (which I liked a lot).

the final boss was excellent and very satisfying

Great game. The penultimate level in the mansion was amazing but the last one was a little underwhelming.
But all in all i feel like Shadow Tactics was better only because you climbed more on buildings in that one.
I missed the climbing in Desperados 3.

I still don't understand why Helldorado isn't Desperados 3.

A great theme for a game like this would be if you got to play runaway slaves in 1800s America, killing cartoony white slaveholders and racists.

Yeah but in games like commandos and desperados you die like every 5 seconds. Developers would have been charged with hate crime because of that. Actually i think that the last proper non politically correct Western was the first Desperados.

Why do that when Legend of Sherwood is begging to be brought back into the modern age?

It's my favorite and I want a remake but not from Mimimi Studios. They would just fill the map with 150 enemies, remove the ability to choose your team members before a mission, probably also ignore the melee combat system that game had and limit how many actions you can plan and execute per character and probably more.
I mean, Mimimi they're good but I know what kind of design vision they have and that can be seen in both Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3.
Just to say, I've seen you slam this a few times, and you're not right or wrong to do so, but limiting team selection was a feature of the original Desperados (and the whole Commandos series I believe), and when I say feature, I mean feature. It's great when these games take away certain tools and force you to make do with others. Not every game has to be like this, of course - a Robin Hood remake for example should echo the original design - but in the case of D3, preset team comps was absolutely the right decision.

And among all of them I like RH the most. And true, not every game has to be like it (RH), however all the others plus Shadow Tactics are basically the same (copies of Commandos 2), as they copy each other. RH is the odd one out. And I'd like it to stay that way.

Not sure why they didn't just reboot this as "Desperados" like last year's "COD Modern Warfare" was not MW4...calling it D3 is less inviting to newer players and older players didn't care much for D2 or Helldorado in any case.
Saying that my 12 year old tried this out and absolutely loved it. It was scary to watch him play as he was much better than me at quickly working out solutions. He's now knee-deep in Shadow Tactics.
