The modern real-time tactics game, nominated as the Best Strategy Game of E3, stars a ragtag band of unlikely heroes and heroines, hunted by ruthless bandits and corrupt lawmen. Strong personalities clash, at first, but ultimately they join forces to "combine their distinctive specialties and challenge a seemingly superior foe."

Features include:

• Command up to five Desperados and use their lethal skills to stealthily thin out the enemy rows

• Approach each mission with a big variety of different solutions and paths

• Resolve seemingly impossible large enemy setups with careful planning and perfectly timed executions

• Witness the glory of classic Wild West scenarios like frontier towns, desert canyons, Mississippi swamps, sprawling modern cities and many more by day and night

• Defeat your foes choosing between deadly and non-lethal options, stealth and blazing guns and further adjust the game to your playstyle with various difficulty settings and special replayability challenges

The beta runs from 9 - 21 July and you can sign up here.

"This is not a "pre order now to play the game before anyone - but we don't really need your feedback because release is in just two weeks" closed beta, [which] people might be used to nowadays. We really want to invite the community to play the game while it’s still under construction and share their thoughts and wishes with us. And we want to have the time to react to the players’ input and to optimize the game together." said Dennis Huszak, Narrative Director at Mimimi Games.
