I regret to admit I have never played any of their games despite having Desperados 3 on my list for a while. I feel some relief on their behalf though that their closure was evidently a deliberate choice rather than a market failure.

I'm very sad they are closing shop, but I understand it.

I find their last DLC awfully expensive, but I think I'll buy them anyway, as I really loved all their games (bought desperados 3 day 1, same for shadow gambit, and no regrets).

Their games were crafted with love, and it shows. If you haven't, go and try them on, it's a fun genre.

I started playing because I had nostalgia for the commandos games, but they really refined the gameplay and made the different difficulty modes so everyone can have fun.

I find the Zagan DLC to be a bit boring, but he's got some really interesting abilities.

Yuki is just fucking perfect, though. She might even be a little OP. Also, she adopted Kuma. It's great.

It also carries forward her story from Shadow Tactics in an interesting way, but remains subtle enough that no one has to have played that before to enjoy her character.

I bought the DLC at full price because I'd already gotten the base game on sale (also because the DLC hasn't gone on sale and I wanted to finish up the collection before year's end).

Honestly, could definitely have done without the Zagan DLC. I'd only get it if you really like his abilities (they can be legitimately fun at times) and the darker tone of his story. Otherwise, no need.

Yuki was worth every cent, though.

It's also fun chopping everyone into wood. Her passive is basically "everyone she kills turns into a block of wood that guards don't notice or care about".

Link up with John and Quentin/Suleidy, and you'll never have to drag any dead body into bushes or throw them in the ocean ever again.
