About this filter

Desperados III is a real-time tactics game from Mimimi Games, set in a gritty Wild West where outlaws, bounty hunters, and frontier towns trade some pointed language. Its English script leans into that rough-edged Western tone, and the spoken voice lines carry it further than the subtitles alone suggest. This filter is for players who want to enjoy the tactical campaign, the characters, and the story without the strong language in the dialogue. That includes parents setting up the game for younger players, streamers who need a cleaner broadcast, and anyone who simply prefers to play without the swearing. It is built only for the English text and English voice lines that ship with the game you already own.

The filter works on two surfaces at once. On the text side, it edits 1,250 English subtitle lines: every flagged word is replaced in place with same-length asterisks, so sentence structure, punctuation, fonts, and on-screen layout stay exactly as Mimimi designed them. On the audio side, it silences the profane word in 1,178 English voice lines, covering 1,288 muted spans in total — only the flagged word goes quiet while the rest of the line and the actor's delivery play normally, and every clip keeps its exact original length. Both in-mission barks and pre-rendered cutscene voice lines are covered. The words addressed span the F-word, S-word, B-word, A-word, and religious oaths used as exclamations. In 67 voice clips the matching subtitle was flagged but speech recognition found no detectable profanity in the audio, so those clips play as recorded while their subtitles remain censored.

The text edits were applied by a deterministic script that backs up the original file first, replaces only the flagged words, and preserves the file's exact byte length; the result was verified to leave zero residual flagged terms across the sampled patterns. The voice lines were processed by transcribing each clip with speech recognition for word-level timing, muting only the flagged span, and re-encoding each clip back into its original slot, with the rebuilt audio bundle confirmed to load cleanly in-game and the censored cutscene lines confirmed silenced on launch. Nothing else is touched: the story, mission design, voice performances, music, and gameplay are exactly as shipped, non-English text and audio are left alone because the filter is English-only, and your saves, achievements, and UI layout are unchanged. The filter runs against your own copy of the game and ships none of its content.
