Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge

I spent a few hours with Desperados 2 and found a game stuck between two identities. It's a real-time tactics title where you control a posse of Wild West gunfighters, pause whenever you need to plan your next moves, then watch it play out. The camera swap between isometric and third-person is neat for duels, but the novelty wears fast. The tactical layer feels shallow compared to the original, less about creative problem-solving, more about grinding through linear scenarios with predictable enemy patterns. What keeps it from being forgotten: the setting is genuinely charming, and there's something satisfying about orchestrating a synchronized multi-target takedown when it clicks. But 2008 graphics aging poorly, repetitive mission design, and a difficulty curve that's either trivial or frustrating without much middle ground make this a hard sell. It's not broken, just dated and forgettable. Hunt it down only if you're chasing every isometric tactics game ever made.
