A game that blends stealth, strategy with piratish anime style artwork. I've had an absolute blast diving into this world and I recommend you do too.
[h2]Visuals and Atmosphere[/h2]
The artwork and graphics are truly stunning (one of the main reasons i bought this game in the first place). The environments are vibrant and detailed, and the character designs are fantastic. Each of the cursed pirates has a unique and memorable look, perfectly capturing their personalities.

The gameplay is the strength of this game. The strategic stealth mechanics are incredibly well-executed. You have a diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique abilities, allowing for a wide range of approaches to each mission. Planning your moves, coordinating your team, and executing your strategies is incredibly satisfying.

It's a good game with a cool setting and story and I enjoyed it! However grinding out the badges for 85% completions is a little much... I did it anyway but I don't recommend it

Do you like stealth? Also fun? I don't know what I was expecting with Shadow Gambit, but it has blown all my expectations out of the water. It's a novel approach to stealth and also tactics games, with an amazing on-ramp and such incredibly clever level and character designs. I keep unlocking characters and thinking, "But I unlocked the ones I was most drawn to first, so surely this one will just be-" and then the new mechanics are amazing. I'm hours in and I've loved every second of it. I'm sure other reviews are more in-depth and thorough, but all I can say is that if this has aspects that appeal to you, you'll enjoy it even more than you're expecting. A real treat.

The gameplay is fun. More of Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3 but with magical pirate characters and abilities. There is WAY too much dialogue and the game wastes a lot of your time in between levels, but when it finally lets you play the levels, they're good.

If you are a fan of Mimimi games, this game is for you! I think this is their best game to date, mainly because you get so many different characters to choose from. The group composition aspect is amazing, and the fantasy pirate setting is really well done. 10/10 recommend!

Shadow Gambit is a cool concept, but the crew is pretty bland and the game becomes very repetitive. Returning to the same maps over and over and the only thing changing is time of day or a few patrols changing routes. Story isn't amazing but if you want to enjoy a casual stealth game and have this as your side game it can be really enjoyable. DLC's add a little story and two new crew-mate's.

Congratulations Borderlands 3, you are no longer the only game I play on mute!
This game has really dumb and childish writing, which is a huge disappointment since Desperados 3 and Shadow Tactics are some of my favorite games ever with memorable characters and gripping stories. I'm in such shock at how bad the quality drop off is that I can't even really enjoy the game. The characters all act and talk like 10 year olds playing pretend. There is zero tension or conflict in the plot. Buy this game only if you're starved for something in this genre (keep in mind it is much, MUCH easier than the other two games). If you're new to Mimimi, get Desperados 3 or Shadow Tactics instead.

My least enjoyed Mimimi Games. However, I absolutely love the character skills here. Gotta be one of the most intuitive skill sets to play with in this genre which makes the gameplay quite a blast.
For the cons - the story itself was rather uninteresting & unlike Mimimi's other games, I didn't really care for the characters. Crew tales after a while felt like a chore as well. Personally, I'm not a fan of the restriction of three characters per level either. Wish there were more maps & level variations instead of having to replay the same large maps multiple times, even if you can choose different starting points.
I would still recommend this game for the gameplay alone. Credit where credit is due - Mimimi outdid themselves in that area.
