![]() At least they were kind enough to give her a tiny handgun as well so that she can get in on the mass-murdering a bit, though I don’t believe I ever used it as it was so much weaker than the other player’s weaponry. She is also given a perfume bottle to throw to blind guards and she can find disguises in the level that allow her to travel almost anywhere without fear. As an attractive woman she is tasked with the typical trope of “distracting” men and luring them away from their post so that she or someone else can incapacitate them. Rounding out the crew are Kate O’Hara, Hector Mendoza, and Isabelle Moreau. There are a few occasions where a character is introduced, and you must play them solo but for the most part you always have anywhere from 2-5 characters at your disposal. This combination of your character’s abilities is the core of the game. Combing this lure with Cooper’s coin toss mechanic can get a guard to follow the noise until they see the bag. 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.
