Ahoy, cursed pirate!
This is Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, an all-new stealth strategy game set during an alternate history of the Golden Age of Piracy. The Curse of Lost Souls haunts the mysterious island chain known as the Lost Caribbean, which is under the control of the terrible forces of the Inquisition. They despise all that is supernatural and use soul devouring fire to hunt cursed pirates like you!
Embark on a journey with cursed pirate Afia and seek the legendary Black Pearls to revive a cursed crew of your own. Each of your eight shipmates is a playable character with an individual personality and armed with unique supernatural powers. Launch friend or foe with Gaëlle's magical cannon, use Mr. Mercury's soul anchor to open a magic portal or dash across spacetime for split second stealth attacks with Afia's mythical sword.
Pull-off an epic heist and salvage a mysterious treasure of otherworldly power to defy the army of the Inquisition. Infiltrate their fortresses. Sneak behind enemy lines. Cleverly combine the magical skills of your crew to take out a variety of enemies with carefully considered tactics. Feel like a brilliant mastermind when your plan clicks perfectly into place!
Join The Red Marley, a ghost ship with a living soul. On deck, plan your next adventure or just hang out with your crew mates while they enjoy their un-life.
Get to know these legendary cursed pirates of the Lost Caribbean. With individual character missions find out about their backstories, learn who they are and what led them on their cursed journeys.
Go ashore a variety of exotic islands in the Lost Caribbean. From locales oozing with cursed soul magic to tropical beaches and lively pirate shanty towns: Every island is a unique hand-crafted sandbox where adventures await.
Freely select your crew members before embarking on each mission. Utilize their unique abilities to find new strategies against the forces of the Inquisition.
Plot your own path to enter and exit each island, be stealthy or more head-on in your play style and use the environment to your advantage.
It's your playground to experiment in!
The powerful time-manipulating magic of your ghost ship is yours to wield. Pause time to consider your strategic choices or queue up multiple character actions. Capture a memory of every passing moment, to instantly return to if things go south. Change your approach and tactics to discover own unique solutions to each moment in the game – in your own time!

... then you might like the setting of this game. I'm okay with it, although I like the more serious one of Shadow Tactics a little better. I've played 10 hours so far and I like the characters with their small mini-quests, although I doubt they'll become deeper than John or Mugen. It's kinda like watching an epic drama (Shadow Tactics) or something like PotC (Gambit) - I like both, and so I've enjoyed each Mimimi game, but I can see why someone may prefer a more serious story or characters.
The mechanics work well, if there's anything that I'd currently critizise it's that I personally find the game a little easier than the predecessors due to the far-reaching magical skills of the characters, but that may be subjective (as said, I've only played 10 hours yet and I usually reload until I get an unseen perfect kill). Overall, it's what I wanted from Mimimi, I'm satisfied. And if we get an equivalent to the Baron challenges from Desperados 3 then I'll spend a VERY long time in this game too.
I don't usually buy games on premiere, but having Shadow Tactics and Desperados in mind i've risked and this was 10/10 choice. This one is absolutely fun gaming expierence. Lot of content, smooth gameplay, engaging story. It took me about 20 hours of play to finish main quests and I wasn't bored not even once. There is cool endgame option, collecting all badges is at least twice of current game time. Absolutely love it. It has some flawes, yes, but they are absolutely negligible compared to how much pure fun i had. 100% recommend!
So many things could have gone right for this game. But in the end it was riddled with divisive identity politics. No surprise there seeing that they brought in Sweet Baby Inc to "consult" on the narrative.
Oh well.
This game keeps crashing my pc after first mission. Developers are not responding to neither my bug report and report on their discord.
Will update my review if the game gets fixed.
