Plot

Angel Face's widow kidnaps and poisons Doc McCoy, and unless John does some 'menial' tasks for her, she'll leave McCoy to die. Unfortunately, these menial tasks inevitably brand Cooper and his friends as criminals, since they involve robbing a bank and stealing a train full of U.S. Army weapons. While Cooper and his team are forced to perform the tasks, they discover that they - as is Mrs. Goodman - are mere pawns for a more dastardly plot: the Mexican revolutionary El Cortador's plan to assassinate the President of the United States!

Features

This game features a new character system in which attacks are shown on the left side of HUD and characters are selected from a circular menu (similar to the backside of a revolver cylinder) in the bottom-left corner, unlike the portrait system on the bar used in the previous games.

Another new feature is the Combo System, in which two characters can combine their abilities and weapons for mass attacks or deceiving enemies more effectively. For example: Sam and Hawkeye can use the Missile combo, in which Sam attaches a piece of dynamite to one of Hawkeye's arrows to deliver its explosive power at long range (this can also be done with Doc's Gas Flasks and Kate's Make-Up); John and Sam can use the Brawler combo to beat every enemy in a selected area into submission; while Sanchez can team up with either Kate or Hawkeye for a distraction, pretending that his partner is actually his prisoner.

Unlike Desperados 2, itself a sequel of Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive, it features the return of all six previously used characters (John, Kate, Doc, Sam, Sanchez and Hawkeye).

Reception

Helldorado holds a 65/100 aggregate score on Metacritic and 60% on GameRankings.

IGN gave the game 5.7/10 criticizing its trial and error approach calling it "only for the hardcore strategy fan that has a massive reservoir or patience". GameSpot gave it 4.5/10, praising its huge levels but criticizing frustrating difficulty where a single mistake can cost the game.
