Kate O’Hara is the femme fatale of the group, using disguises, flirting, and throwing perfume bottles to great effect. While he can heal characters, he’s much more likely to shoot someone with his sniper pistol, or distract them with his booby trapped medical bag. Who knows if he really is a doctor, but that’s not what you should be worrying about. He’s a jack of all trades, and useful in pretty much any situation.ĭoc McCoy is a doctor in the same way that Doctor Doom is. He can distract enemies, take out targets quietly with a knife, or loudly with a pistol. John Cooper is our protagonist, as well as the protagonist of the previous Desperados games, and it is his journey that brings everyone together. Okay, so the cat was a big part of it, but you’ll be swayed too when you see the best subtitled line ever: “*meows enthusiastically*”. Mine was Isabelle, and not just because she has a cat.

With thirteen years between games, you’d hope to see some improvements, and Desperados III delivers in almost every way. Desperados III is the prequel to 2001s Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive and is the first Desperados game since 2007. With an appropriately swishy cloaked figure in a Stetson, and the twang of several string instruments, the home page of Desperados III promises good, gunslinging, bounty hunting, cowboy fun.
