The worst Mimimi game
So I've been playing games like Shadow Gambit ever since Commandos hit the scene in the last 90s and I really love this genre. I also liked Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 (also by Mimimi Games) a lot. But with Shadow Gambit was relieved when the credits rolled so that I would not have to play it anymore. They made some changes in comparison to their previous games that - at least in my opinion - made the game worse. For example in order to complete the story every map has to be played at least three times. Now there are different objectives every time and you can start from another location on the map but the guards are positioned the same so it's very similar overall. The maps themselves are not as diverse as I wish - everything's basically a tropical island. Then there are eight different characters which is just too much, especially since a few characters are overpowered and the others are just sidekicks. The sidekick characters are interchangeable and dull. On almost all missions the characters that are used can be selected by the player and so it feels the missions are a bit too generic - after all they need to be playable with pretty much any character combination. Usually this time of game defines which characters can be used and the puzzles and enemies are adjusted to that. The story is boring: Pirates are looking for a pirate treasure. I started to skip every story related cutscene really early on. Also the crew missions (mini missions that can be completed between main missions) are nothing short of plain annoying. Overall, I'm disappointed. Not just in comparison to the former games by Mimimi, but in general by the game. I bought it on sale so I didn't waste too much money but if someone would ask me, I'd say buy Shadow Tactics, Desperados 3 or Sumerian Six (which I also reviewed and it's so much better) instead.
Hilft dir das weiter?
