Pros + Many characters to choose from with fun and unique abilities + Many different missions with unique objectives + Carries over the excellent real time tactics mechanics from Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 + Incorporates the quick save mechanic into the story, which is pretty cool + Excellent controller support, considering this is a RTT game Cons - Maps are re-used too often - Some maps are too large - Gameplay can get repetitive due to revisiting the same maps and thus encountering the same enemies - Optional achievements can get very tedious, exacerbated by the large maps - No characters with AoE abilities Neutral +/- Story is a lot campier than previous entries, and while it has its comedic moments, just isn't very appealing overall Conclusion Going from the grounded and serious tone of Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 to a campy cursed pirate adventure was a rather questionable creative decision, and unfortunately one which led to the closure of the development studio. But as someone who's a fan of both Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3, I have to say I enjoyed the core gameplay of Shadow Gambit. The incorporation of curses and magics also allowed for some pretty fun abilities and strategies that would not have been possible in Mimimi's other games. This would've been a perfect game, were it not for the fact that the game reuses islands/maps way too often, and it started to get really repetitive towards the end killing the same enemies over and over again. But despite its shortcomings, Mimimi has set the gold standard for modern real-time tactics games, and Shadow Gambit makes for a bittersweet sendoff for the studio.

May 2025

Shadow Gambit is the best Mimimi game and a great send off to the studio. They have made a core part of their stealth strategy games a diegetic element in the story. If you liked Desperados 3 or the Shadow Tactics entries you will probably like this too.

Final game of the stealth strategy trilogy containing Shadow Tactics, Desperado 3 and this one. Desperado 3 is my favorite of the bunch but this game is awesome and packed with content. There always is something fun to do. Only caveat, we go back to the same maps a lot. They are big so that's not really an issue if you concentrate on the active mission. But if, like me, you enjoy cleaning every map you go in, this is kind of a problem. I prefered the maps of Desperado 3 where the mission objectives and the level design were more linked. With that said, I enjoy playing it a lot. 30+ hours and I still haven't got to the end of the story. Good job Mimimi games. It is sad to know that it was your last game.

Feb. 2025

It's difficult writing about this game after the closure of the studio. I enjoyed their other games, and I enjoyed this one. In some ways, it was the triumph of their production.

Dec. 2024

A highlight of the stealth strategy genre, it combines stealth tactics, thrilling adventures, and clever humor into an engaging experience. This captivating and addictive game is definitely worth experiencing.
