Compared to the other games it also has some interesting mechanics like close combat fighting and I think it's considered to have aged decently well too but probably also not much better than D1 either. I once got a bundle of all the old Desperados games for less than 5 bucks, so it's also not really a big investment.īesides Desperados and Commandos, there is also the Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood game which some people quite like as well. They are quite often on sale for very cheap, e.g. I advise you to have a look at some YouTube Let's Plays of the games and judge for yourself or I guess you can also just get them and try it out. I for one very much value good controls and clear communication and wasn't really that interested in continuing after the first few levels of D1. Especially during the final act, almost every encounter is a matter of life or death, so expect to use the quicksave and quickload buttons frequently. Along came Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun in 2016. Then, nearly 15 years ago, the genre mostly disappeared and it seemed it was dead. These games were tactical and hard as nails.
ROBIN HOOD THE LEGEND OF SHERWOOD QUICKSAVE SERIES
That's not to say it's completely unplayable but those are certainly things to consider. You eventually lord over those pesky stingrats and have a fighting chance against reptilian priests and undead beasts, but even at higher levels, you wont feel all that powerful. The most well known series in the genre was Commandos, but there was also the Desperados series and Robin Hood: Legend of Sherwood. The controls can also be quite fiddly and for example, you also only have a single quicksave slot so when you accidentally save in an unrecoverable situation (which will happen) then you have to restart the level. when alerted, which on the one side can make them seem more like real humans and not preprogrammed AIs but can more often just feel random. Or enemies can also behave very unpredictably in certain situations, e.g.

But even if you are moderately close you still have a chance that they will just miss and alert the enemy. amazon.z80 43584 6-04-96 3:51 LEGEND OF THE AMAZON WOMAN tc.z80 4257 24-03-96 1:22 LERM TAPE COPIER. For example, things like gun shots and knife throws don't have any range indicators at all but instead have a hit-chance, that decreases the further you are from the enemy. Where Mimimi very much focuses on intuitive UI and controls and making it very clear what is going on, D1 has lots of hidden rules, randomness, and stuff like this. People usually say D1 aged quite well and it's certainly still playable but it's very different from ST or D3. I never really personally played any of those games except for a (very) little bit of D1 but from my impression, most of those games don't hold up terribly well.
