Helldorado is a real‑time tactics strategy game developed by Spellbound Entertainment and released for Windows in 2009. It’s a standalone follow‑up to Desperados 2: Cooper’s Revenge, continuing the Wild West saga with the same cast of outlaw heroes like John Cooper, Kate, Doc, Sam, Sánchez and Hawkeye.
Set in the gritty world of 1883 Santa Fe and surrounding frontier towns, Helldorado blends tactical planning, stealth, and direct combat. You command multiple characters with unique skills to complete challenging missions—rescue hostages, rob banks, capture trains, and thwart conspiracies while navigating bandit ambushes and tactical outposts. The game allows players to switch between tactical top‑down views and more immersive action perspectives, planning movements and combo attacks to outwit foes.
Featuring 60 enemy types with intelligent AI and a variety of authentic 1880s weapons, Helldorado offers a deep tactical experience for fans of classic Western strategy. While reviews are mixed, its ambitious mission design, dynamic combat, and story‑rich Wild West setting make it an interesting pick for strategy enthusiasts.
