    The pirate fantasy setting has allowed the studio to go wild with the crew's powers and abilities. You will not find a revolution in the formula, but there are enough additions to make it as or more interesting than its previous works. [Recommended]
  2. Backed by that scene-stealing twist I mentioned earlier, and Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is simply an extremely good time from start to finish. It's not only a highly satisfying strategic stealth game in its own right, but its ruminations on memory, the past lives and decisions of its pirate crew, and the way it reckons with its own in-game act of forging and preserving new memories all point to a studio at the peak of their powers. This is a game to be treasured, and the only thing I could wish for now is to turn back to the clock so I can experience it all over again from the beginning. [RPS Bestest Bests]

    Game was fun for a few missions but becomes repetitive real fast , storyline and characters lore is really lacking and not engaging , also asGame was fun for a few missions but becomes repetitive real fast , storyline and characters lore is really lacking and not engaging , also as you progress you start replaying all the first maps and this becomes very boring.

    Got bored after the 5 missions , Desperados series was much better.
