Desperados III is a Wild West tactical game that has garnered a lot of great reviews over the past few days. It's finally available on Xbox One and starts at $60. There's also a Deluxe Edition available that comes the season pass. The season pass will add new missions throughout 2020.

Desperados III looks great on Xbox One X because it runs at 4K resolution. There's also an option for 60 frames per second (FPS) in there from what we know. You'll have to try it out to see if you prefer that performance. If not, you can always lock it to 30 FPS.

Jez Corden reviewed the game for Windows Central and said, "Desperados III certainly will not appeal to everyone. Despite having a solid story with great characters, and lovingly-crafted levels, the tactics genre simply doesn't have the broadest appeal... Mimimi Games achieves maximum satisfaction with Desperados III's delivery, and as someone who had never played a real-time tactics game before, Desperados III is an epic introduction to the genre."
