We had some time with this game out at E3 last year and can tell you it's really very good. Obviously if you've played the first two games you already know that, but for you greenhorns out there, this is a game you wanna grab by the horns and hold on for dear life, because it's bucking awesome.

As a playable character in the game, Mendoza brings trapping and strength to his planning role, as well as a lot of character:

Is it a man or is it a bear? Hector Mendoza's sheer force makes him a fearsome opponent for all the gangsters in Desperados III. He wears a cruel axe to... well, better see it for yourself. Also, he lays out his beloved bear trap Bianca, where his opponents can step in and... well, better see it for yourself. And if these elimination methods are still not effective enough for you, Hector also has a sturdy shotgun with the ability to take out multiple targets with one blast.

About Desperados III

Desperados III is a story-driven, hardcore tactical stealth game, set in a ruthless Wild West scenario. In this long-awaited prequel to the beloved classic Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, John Cooper will join forces with the runaway bride Kate, the shady hitman Doc McCoy, the giant trapper Hector, and Isabelle, a mysterious lady from New Orleans. On Cooper’s quest for redemption, his adventures lead him and his gang from rural towns, over swamps and riverbanks, and finally to a dramatic showdown worthy of Wild West legends.

Play smart if you want to succeed. A good plan can make the difference between survival and finding yourself at the business end of a pistol. Combine your team’s special skills to overcome each tough challenge in your own style.

Desperados III is due out on PC, PS4 and Xbox One this June. Watch Hector's trailer embedded below.
