This will entice the lower-level guards to walk directly to the bag, open it, and get hit with a blast of gas stunning them for a few seconds. Doc introduces the “lure” mechanic, as he can throw his bag into the line of sight of a guard. Doc specializes in uses a lethal syringe for his up-close killing, and a silenced sniper-scope fitted pistol for anything long range. The second character you get is named Doc McCoy (damnit Jim!). There is a large emphasis on hiding whether it is in bushes or hay piles, and then timing your moves to quickly take out your target and hide their body before anyone sees you.

Re-loading a save is instant, which is key for a game like this (at least on the Series X, I do not have an Xbox One to test this out on). It’s a strict set of rules that makes every scenario feel fair, even if figuring them out takes you 10 or 50 tries. Guards have cones of vision that you can see (one at a time for balance purposes), set paths and timers on when they move, and if you’re not in that cone they cannot see you. This younger version isn’t quite good enough with the knife-throwing to be a sociopathic murderer yet, but boy does he sure carry a lot of those coins around with him.ĭesperados is best described as a puzzle game. The game starts with a young John and his father on the trail hunting the bounty of a man named Frank. John loves using coins to distract his foes so that he can sneak by them or throw a knife straight into their neck. First up is John Cooper, resident knife throwing and gun-wielding cowboy. There are 5 characters in total, though the 5th will not join your crew until just around the halfway point of the game.


I must admit that I have not played Desperados I or II, but thanks to Game Pass I have been able to finally play this series I had heard such positive things about.
