Helldorado is a standalone expansion to the second game in the Desperados series (Desperados 2: Cooper's Revenge), so you can think about it as Desperados 2.5 if you like. I really enjoyed the first game in the Desperados series (Wanted Dead of Alive), but this game not so much. It was made during a time when everything was moving to 3D, and the game suffered from the transition. The charm of the isometric levels was lost and everything was harder to control.

Fans of the series, however, will appreciate the return of familiar characters and the continuation of lingering story threads. Missions draw players through classic Western scenarios: train heists, jailbreaks, ambushes in dusty towns, and tense standoffs in saloons. These scenarios are not mere backdrops but carefully desig…
