The perfect specimen of its genre and its current undisputed king. Confident, expertly designed, beautiful and without weak points - and it implements elements of other genres in order to advance its own.
A joyous blend of stealth tactics, swashbuckling adventure and whimsical humour, Shadow Gambit is Mimimi Games at their very best and considering their history, that is saying something.

Best stealth game I've ever played. The characters are awesome and the gameplay is great.

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a peak example of the stealth tactics genre from a studio that is clearly mastering its craft. Its mission structure is spread across excellently entertaining levels with rich detail to find and master, while characters shine with voice performances, endearing humor, and colorful art that both delight and impress. With innumerable ways to approach its levels and an extremely smart integration of the practice of saving and reloading into the world’s fiction, it’s firing on all cylinders in all categories except perhaps enemy AI. Frankly, I don't know anyone I wouldn't recommend it to.
Mimimi Games shocked us all by saying "let's retire when we're at the top" after delivering their masterpiece with Shadow Gambit. It's a must-play game, the cursed crew needs our company.
It's beautiful, it's clever, it's captivating : we want more. 30 hours of pure delight.
It demands your full attention at every moment, something that was equally true of Mimimi's previous two games. [Issue#388, p.108]
Mimimi Games works wonders to make supernatural abilities a balanced, visually striking, and unexpectedly cool part of this real-time tactics game. Sadly, Shadow Gambit loses its way as you’re forced to revisit the same handful of islands again and again in service of a story that lacks cohesion.
Pretty much a downgrade of Desperados 3, with some really overpowered abilities. For me where it suffers the most is the story/characters, because the writing in general just leaves much to be desired. Also the level design requires you to play the same map multiple times to progress the story. This becomes tedious real fast, since all maps (islands) look really similar.

Playing on the same maps all the time is getting boring. There are also two missions on the same map, but it doesn't let you do both at the same time, so you have to kill the same enemies again in the same place. The story also progresses quite childishly. Desperados 3 was really good. But the company could not show the same success in this game.

Game was fun for a few missions but becomes repetitive real fast , storyline and characters lore is really lacking and not engaging , also as you progress you start replaying all the first maps and this becomes very boring.
Got bored after the 5 missions , Desperados series was much better.
