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!

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
Even though I think this game is an improvement over Shadow Tactics specifically, it doesn't hold a candle to Desperados 3.
Gameplay is fine, I like that the characters this time (for the MOST part) aren't just reskins but in turn there is 8 characters which means that there's obsolete characters because some just outclass others, I think Gaelle is a good example of a character you ALWAYS want on your team; she has the fastest KO in the game with an upgrade, a distraction and can launch her crewmates through defenses, while someone like... Quentin or Pinkus is more so a gimmick more than anything. Some abilities make this game a bit too easy though.
The in-between missions hub serves barely any purpose, the only side-quest that was somewhat interesting was Toya's one, the "upgrades" are just straight up weird, feels like most of them should have just been basekit for the characters.
Ending was pretty anti-climactic for a "memory forge" since most of it was a rescue mission :p
Typical Mimimi game (that is meant in good way).
Tight "commando-like" gameplay, wonderful visual style and atmosphere a lot of replayability through the various objectives (I enjoy going through almost all of them in Desperados 3, I expect the same here).
Even if it should not affect your choice to buy the game or not, a reminder that it's a day-one AA release with full features implemented. Something to support on my opinion.
Yo-ho, a pirate life for me...
If you liked shadow tactics or any of the other stealth games from mimico, this will be right up your alley.
I actually like it more than desperados.
Well worth the purchase and play. Highly recommended.
If you loved Mimimis others games like Desperados 3 and Shadow Tactics, or even Sumerian Six, this is fantastic as well especially with the DLCs - strongly recommended!
