With video games in this era, it is almost assumed that it would have some kind of autosave, so I found it frankly distressing that a game released in 2020 would not have that feature. One of my biggest gripes for the game would be the absence of an autosave function. There were a few moments that seemed utterly impossible at first, for example the last part of the final mission, but after a number of trial and errors when you figure out the perfect combination for the job, even the impossible becomes possible. I played the game on the ‘Hardest’ difficulty, which in hindsight might not have been the smartest idea considering this was to be my first real time strategy game, but the challenge seemed appropriate and finding the solution always left me feeling immensely satisfied.

Even having no experience whatsoever of the previous Desperado games I was going into this one completely blind. I was vaguely aware of Mimimi productions having played a small demo of Shadow Tactics but I never got myself to sink my teeth into that game. And then there is this mysterious woman from New Orleans, Isabelle…Ĭombine your team’s special skills to overcome each tough challenge in your own style.I have been a big fan of turn based strategy games ever since I got to play XCOM 2 a few years ago, but this would be my first foray into the real time strategy genre.
