In short, this one is a delightful good-bye from MIMIMI studio, the one that raise the quality of Stealth RTT genre into a new level, and yet not enough to keep the flame going. Though the game still has some flaws, but the overall product is absolute worth your time. The GOODS: - A good chunk of colorful character, 8 and possibly more, which can guarantee you a plenty good amount of replays. With the grant achievement that’s bigger than both Shadow Tactic and Desperados combined, you’re gonna get busy for real. - Gameplay is smooth as butter! Characters can pick a best route every time we pick a location. - Instead of different levels, we now have island with its different sections involve with many missions to complete. I like this, it gives you opportunity to explore the whole island, not to mention the chance to discover treasure and Easter eggs, really clever and fit the theme so well. - The side-stories or lore of each characters are mostly fun to experience. Unlike the previous games, this time you get to know the characters better. My favorite is the Sharpshooter’s one. - Good voice-acting and good in-game music. MIMIMI always shine when creating such good atmospheres. The BADS: - Not all character is good. I tend to use some characters more than others, simply because of usefulness. The character design can be so imbalanced. For example, the ship doctor runs fast, kills fast, carry the bodies fast, can climb/swim, and that’s just BASIC STUFF! She can grow bush, lure enemies. And when you upgrade her skill, she get to distract enemy ?!?....Meanwhile, such characters like Treasure Hunter and Shipwright have so little and even weak skills. Even in some special missions that required them, I don’t even need to use them that often. - The BADGE or ACHIVEMENT is nightmare to complete. I get it that the devs wish for players to replay each islands as many as possible. BUT the fact that some badges are so stupid that you have no choices but to repeat the whole progress. ( ♥♥♥♥ THE NO “UNLEASE MEMORIES” BADGES) - Some side-stories can be boring and a waste of time. Not gonna spoil them for you. But know that you get to skip a lot of dialogue just to progress. - The upgrade mechanism could have been done better. I wish MIMIMI can give us options for each upgrade, but I guess they didn’t have the time. - The story is meh…I know I shouldn’t be so hard on this one, since such games like this focus more on the gameplay. BUT since this is their last game, I had hope that MIMIMI can give us a more epic story. SCORE: 8.5/10. Almost perfect

the weakest of mimimi's games. Gameplay its just like the others, if not a bit easier due to the large character pool. Boring dialogue and really ugly character designs, and truly there's way too much of the dialogue for me to not start to skip after a bit. But I'd be doing it a disservice to say its bad, just buy mimimi's other games before this and keep this one in the back pocket for when you're in a situation like I'm in and just craving the gameplay style of the real-time-tactic stealth games that mimimi's done so well. Super satisfying gameplay that I'm going to miss considering mimimi shut down after making this game

This is fun, but it's not as good as Mimimi's other two games, for a number of reasons. The core gameplay remains the same; however, there's one big change: when going on a mission, we can select from any of the game's 8 characters (plus 2 DLC characters for a total of 10). While it theoretically provides the player more freedom in how they approach each mission, in practice it means that the enemy setups in each mission are created in a way that allows them to be resolved by a wide variety of character lineups. As a result, every mission feels kind of samey, even if you bring different characters to each. Where previous two games felt like a puzzle to be solved, with each mission having pre-determined characters and an interesting challenge tailored specifically for that set of characters, this game feels more like a sandbox, with that feeling of puzzle solving and uniqueness to each mission kind of gone. On top of that, some character abilities are clearly stronger than others, and there's nothing really to prevent you from bringing those characters to every mission. The game is set in a fictional version of Caribbean, which is also a much less interesting setting for me than feudal Japan or Wild West from the two previous games. The environments are beautiful, but look very similar in each location, whereas in previous games most missions looked very distinct and interesting in their own right (especially in Desperados III). In between missions you can now complete small side quests on your ship with each character. There's a lot of dialogues during these, and it is clear that the game tries to be funny very hard in these, with almost each line being some sort of attempt at humor, but the humor is very dry. I can definitely remember more hilarious moments from Desperados III than from this, even though I played it a few years ago. So yeah, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a big step back from other Mimimi games in my opinion, but the core gameplay is still as solid, so I mostly enjoyed playing it.

This game is awesome. If you like RTT games, you'll probably enjoy this. I came from Shadow Tactics and then Desperados 3, and had so much fun playing this. It certainly is way less "serious" our grounded in reality than the other 2 games (goofy story, 100% fantasy and magic). I thought I wouldn't enjoy it after reading other reviews saying this, but I did. A lot! Give it a try, it'll be worth it!

Thank you, Mimimi Games. It was a great journey. I truly enjoyed all three games — Shadow Tactics, Desperados III, and Shadow Gambit. I highly recommend them all, and I think Shadow Gambit was the easiest of the three.
