That's the wicky, wicky, Wild Wild West. As seen in the latest slice of cow-rustlin' and gun-slingin' tactical stealth from developers Mimimi Games, Desperados III. And who better to send into the turn-based saloon than our very own desperado, rough rider, someone of whom you don't want nada - Adam Mathew.

A snippet from his time on the ranch.

Essentially a prequel to the original game, this third outing slides us into the dusty boots of John Cooper. He's a double-fistin' gunslinger who effectively joins forces with a colourful cast of ultra-violent varmints. Folks like a Holliday-inspired killer named Doc McCoy and a deft, derringer-happy moll named Kate. They're also flanked by a man mountain trapper called Hector, and Isabelle, the sort of person mid-'90s The Prodigy tried to warn us about (read: magic people, voodoo people). Each of these reprobates comes with their own unique style of killin'. We'll get to those in a sec.

Thankfully there's a point to all this shanking. Desperadoes III is a story-driven experience that revolves around Cooper trying to get his moral ledger back in the black. This involves spilling lots of red in a revenge tale road trip across a diverse range of locations. We're talking dusty mesas, Colorado mountains, and you can even quench your thirst for vengeance during the odd “gator raid” on a swamp. All told, this pan-American adventure has a few ace locales up its sleeve and tells a decent tale, but it sure ain't no Dances with Wolves.

We believe the title "femme fatale" is the most fitting when describing Desperados' Kate O'Hara -- a sassy woman with an eye for stealth, and knees with perfect aim. She also turns heads, in more ways than one, making her a deadly addition to the Desperados III gang.

Today, while celebrating the release of a demo for the game over at GOG, THQ Nordic and developer Mimimi have today also dropped a highlights trailer for one of the game's more interesting personalities:

She's got the look and she's absolutely hitting like a hammer: Kate O'Hara grew up as a Colorado farm girl, dreaming of fame and glamour on the stage in the big city. But she had to learn to get along in the rough wild west, where most men are not natural gentlemen and very often only understand the clear message of a joyfully kick in their ... well, crown jewels. This way, Kate can knock down enemies when she gets close enough - and she's got many ways to get in melee range. Naturally, she loves to disguise herself with different outfits and of course uses her overwhelming charm to distract opponents. And if these clever tricks fail, she relies on a girl's best friend: Her Derringer.

Out mid June, Desperados III comes to PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Desperados could be considered something of a fringe title; hardcore real-time strategy for the ballsy tacticians out there. It's also not a new franchise, with this upcoming release being the third entry, but for many Desperados might not mean anything, and this has prompted THQ Nordic and developer Mimimi Games to string together a breakdown on just what to expect here, all the while building hype on a series that *should* be in everyone's vision cone.

Here's the official skinny ahead of the video.

"Desperados III is a real-time tactical stealth game!" - Yeah. And what exactly does that mean? Well, we're going to show you!
