The verdict
A polished Wild West stealth-tactics puzzler with memorable characters, great maps and strong replayability. Skip it if trial-and-error and constant quicksaving bore you.
Great for
Fans of Shadow Tactics and Commandos who enjoy patient planning and solving stealth puzzles
Main risk
Repetitive trial-and-error and quicksave/reload loops that feel like a puzzle, not tactics
What players love
Memorable characters with unique abilities
Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews
“Each character has their own skills, motivations and banter, making them feel like a genuine team rather than just a collection of abilities.”

Fun nostalgic successor to Commandos and Desperados
Mentioned in ~1 in 7 positive reviews
“Superb RTS + stealth combo! If you liked the original Desperados back in 2001, this will surely feel nostalgic, but also very fresh and modern!”

What players complain about
Repetitive, same puzzle over and over
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 negative reviews
“The game gets really quickly repetitive (action-wise) in my opinion, just sneaking around finding the good angle from where you can kill unspotted again and again”
