Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.57/day in the week to Aug 8 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive é um jogo de estratégia em tempo real com elementos de furtividade, ambientado no Velho Oeste norte-americano. O título destaca-se pela qualidade de seus gráficos, pela excelente ambientação e por uma narrativa bem estruturada, que proporciona elevado nível de imersão ao longo de toda a campanha. Durante a aventura, o jogador controla um grupo de personagens, cada um com habilidades específicas, que devem ser utilizadas de forma estratégica para superar os desafios apresentados em diferentes cenários. As missões são compostas por diversos objetivos secundários, cuja conclusão é essencial para o avanço da história principal e para o desenvolvimento da narrativa. Um dos grandes diferenciais do jogo é a necessidade de combinar as habilidades exclusivas de cada personagem. O sucesso das missões depende do planejamento cuidadoso das ações, da coordenação entre os membros da equipe e da escolha da melhor abordagem para cada situação. Em muitos casos, a estratégia e a discrição são mais importantes do que o confronto direto, tornando a experiência bastante desafiadora. À medida que a campanha evolui, o jogador aprende novas técnicas e formas de utilizar as habilidades dos personagens, conhecimentos que podem ser aplicados em fases posteriores para superar desafios cada vez mais complexos. Essa progressão torna a jogabilidade mais rica e recompensadora, incentivando o desenvolvimento contínuo de novas estratégias. Graças à combinação entre uma narrativa envolvente, excelente ambientação, personagens carismáticos e mecânicas estratégicas bem elaboradas, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive consolidou-se como um dos grandes clássicos do gênero. Trata-se de um título altamente recomendado para os apreciadores de jogos de estratégia tática, oferecendo muitas horas de entretenimento e uma experiência marcante no universo do Velho Oeste.

Great game! Every map is completely different and it is super fun to play this game
Great classic game ,even 25 years later
Desperados is a real-time isometric tactical game made in 2001 by Spellbound Entertainment where stealth is the second option, and eventually everything devolves into a good ol’ western shootout. Alongside John Cooper and his colorful band of misfits, you will traverse the southern region while hunting down criminals and committing several crimes yourself. Besides a couple of rare crashes, the game’s biggest problem, in my opinion, is the camera. The developers thought it would be a good idea to add a slow-moving camera that accelerates on its own and keeps going even when you do not command it. Obviously, this hinders the enjoyment of a game that requires plenty of positioning and fast reactions. The game offers many complex missions with numerous enemies to eliminate in creative ways. Each character accompanying Cooper has a very different set of abilities, allowing you to mix and match different methods of completing the roughly twenty missions. The main story is also interesting, competently connecting each new map to the next while constantly changing your roster. Some degree of jankiness is expected. The old engine does not run perfectly smoothly, with plenty of infuriating moments caused by bizarre enemy behavior, lightning-fast reflexes, or broken lines of sight. An extra degree of annoyance comes from the few missions that have strange failure triggers. Overall, however, it is a good isometric game from a great era, developed by people who clearly cared. Also, John’s knife and shooting abilities can carry you through most of the game; you just need to learn the timing and how to work with doors.
