    Pretty much a downgrade of Desperados 3, with some really overpowered abilities. For me where it suffers the most is the story/characters, because the writing in general just leaves much to be desired. Also the level design requires you to play the same map multiple times to progress the story. This becomes tedious real fast, since all maps (islands) look really similar.

    Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a good game, but it lacks a spark.

    The game uses all the building blocks really well, plus it adds extra ingredients to the mix. On top of that, it adds a polished diamond of gameplay, the whole work embellished with refined audiovisuals. [Issue#330]

    Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a complex and very open game that will mainly appeal to players who loved Mimimi’s previous entries in the stealth action genre. All the mechanics are refined, and character choices open up a ton of options for each mission. Success requires patience and good planning, but improvisation often creates more memorable moments. The title tries hard to be accessible to newcomers, offering bespoke introductions for each character and solid tutorial missions. But success and progress require careful thinking, good planning, and cautious executions. It takes time and patience to master Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and the game offers impressive set-pieces and a great sense of accomplishment in return.
