![]() ![]() Unlike most developers who aim to wrap up each story with a clean and happy ending, Mimimi Games is more than happy to shake things up by introducing plot twists late in the plot, making a traditional happy ending impossible. That being said, Desperados III characters are not direct copies of their Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun cousins, and most characters have access to at least one character ability that their Desperados III counterparts do not, such as Yuki (Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun) having access to traps which were only available to Hector, the strength focused character from Desperados III, and Takuma (sharpshooter) having access to a pet ability that is functionally identical to the one used by Isabella a stealth focused character from Desperados III. That being said, I find such challenges tedious, as they often require a player to act in a sub-optimal manner or avoid using certain character skills to complete the challenge, something which I feel is a lazy way to make content more challenging instead of creating tougher encounters and puzzles for players to overcome on subsequent playthroughs.ĭesperados III is essentially Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun with a new coat of paint, and honestly, I am fine with that while Desperados III has improved upon the formula somewhat, after playing both for a considerable amount of time, its easy to spot just how similar they ware, with the majority of playable characters sharing the vast majority of their abilities with their Shadow Tactics incarnation. To facilitate this better, the developers have incorporated a quick save/load functionality that allows players to seamlessly save and reload as many times as they like, ensuring that players still learning the ropes can see Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun’s surprisingly good narrative through to its conclusion.Įach mission has various objectives that can be approached in a manner of ways, allowing for great replayability in addition, each mission offers a series of challenges that can make achieving victory far more difficult, which may be enjoyable for some. This playstyle takes split-second precision, and as such most players will find themselves saving and reloading dozens, if not hundreds, of times while they are new to the game. While players are welcome to attempt blundering their way through each mission, wracking up a massive body count as they do so, veteran players and those wishing to play the game correctly will take a more tactical approach by skillfully eliminating small groups of enemies at a time and carefully disposing of their bodies before moving onto another group. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is an incredibly well-polished game, with every aspect of gameplay, from sound design to performance, being of exceptional quality, which is a big part of why Mimimi Games are some of the most respected developers in the genre. ![]() Really though, both games are comparable, and you don't go wrong choosing either one.Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun remains one of the best RTT titles released in the past ten years, and fans of the genre who somehow missed this title will certainly want to pick it up prior to the release of Mimimi Games’ newest game releases later in 2023. The devs made Desperados 3 with more experience and more knowledge of RTT games since it's their second one. The edge on storyline goes to Shadow Tactics, since it's entirely unique, but the gameplay goes to Desperados 3 because it's slightly a more upgraded version of ST. So I don't know, they're both amazing games, with amazing story lines and gameplay - they're just different. Desperados 3 is Incredibly fun, slightly easier, but it doesn't have that deep epic feeling of being transported to this far away, strange land, that's still grounded in reality. ![]() One of a kind)! While games are very similar mechanically, Desperados 3 has some quality of life improvements and mechanically, it's a slightly upgraded version of Shadow Tactics. ![]() Has amazing characters, but the story and setting isn't as gripping (not to say it isn't gripping, it's just Shadow Tactics is special in this regard. IT's an amazing game, characters, everything! Very immersive! Shadow Tactics is a completely unique experience, never before seen characters, brought to life in a really realistic Japanese setting (late 1800's, gunpowder is just starting to be used, this is a really rich period of time artistically and thematically extremely deep). They're both different but equally good. ![]()
