60 of 89 · most liked firstPlayed an hour or two of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew last night and I'm hooked. Dripping with personality and a very strong atmosphere of "have fun and fuck around" that I really appreciate (the game openly encourages you to save scum and has a diogenic story element to explain it). Good stuff.
unlabelledView post →And if you want to do crime, might I suggest checking out Shadow Gambit? A real-time stealth strategy game where you command a crew of undead pirates taking on an inquisition. Each of the crew mates have mechanically interesting and unique skills to murder-puzzle your way through intricate missions.
unlabelledView post →2. Shadow Gambit Speaking of my favourite games from last year, I still can't recommend Shadow Gambit highly enough and deserved so much better, a stealthy strategy murder-puzzle in the vein of the old Commandos/Desperados games with an undead pirate crew. store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/...
unlabelledView post →3. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Real-time stealth tactics that plays like an elaborate murder-puzzle, which was sadly Mimimi's final game. It's currently on the deepest discount yet, a phenomenal game that didn't get near as much love as it deserved. store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/...
unlabelledView post →15. Desperados 3 During their tenure with reviving the Stealth Tactics genre, Mimimi put out three incredible bangers. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, and Desperados 3, where they got to make an incredible sequel to one of the games that started the genre.
unlabelledView post →Shadow Gambit is on sale. There's a demo. You should play it.
unlabelledView post →I will sing the praises of Shadow Gambit until my last days. It's such a fun game! Unique concept (undead pirates fighting the Inquisition), the rewind mechanic is built into the lore, the characters are a ton of fun, & it's just a good time overall. 🏴☠️
unlabelledView post →Started playing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew recently! Quite great so far.
unlabelledView post →There's the best deal yet on Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew + DLC. Probably the best stealth-tactics game (Commandos, Desperados, etc) of its kind. There may not be another like it, as the studio disbanded immediately after release. Really fun Ghost Pirates versus Magic-Hating Inquisitors setting.
unlabelledView post →I added Shadow Gambit to my curator page This game is phenomenal, and it's such a shame it seemed to get lost, sandwiched between BG3 and Starfield, it deserved better. store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/...
unlabelledView post →ALT pitch: What if a prolific game composer had a dream about a game where you're an audio forensics engineer uncovering a mystery hidden in old audio tapes 👀 I had a great time working with Filippo on Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. This game he's creative directing is looking super cool!
unlabelledView post →Speaking of curses... Shadow Gambit is 50% off right now and is a top tier stealth-tactics game, can't recommend it highly enough. And there's a demo! store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/...
unlabelledView post →12. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Real-time stealth tactics game, neat characters with some extremely fun skills to play with, PIRATES! It's a crying shame more people haven't played this, because it's top tier. And for 10 bucks?
unlabelledView post →3. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Any other year, this would've been a clear #1. The sheer intricacy with which the levels are designed, the incredibly fun and varied characters each with unique tools and abilities, gorgeous visuals and music, it's a truly magnificent game.
unlabelledView post →Weird bundle but a good one. All those games are cool and that's a great spread of genres and styles. Shadow Gambit is still the best stealth tactics game out there. Looks like it doesn't come with the (surprisingly beefy) DLC though.
unlabelledView post →Devastating to hear the developers of Shadow Gambit, Mimimi, are shutting up shop. It's truly one of the best games this year, and that's saying something. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/Shadow_Gambit_The_Cursed_Crew/
unlabelledView post →Happy Halloween! My kids actually did help make their costumes this year, and mine too! One kid is King Tut’s sarcophagus mixed with his mummy, and the other is Quentin from Shadow Gambit (video game). I’m an enemy from that video game.

unlabelledView post →Fredo's Game-Os: I'm going to make another post evangelizing the sadly now defunct developer Mimimi. I'm currently playing Aiko's Choice, the stand alone expansion to Shadow Tactics, and it fucking rules - much like the original game. Apparently their next game, Shadow Gambit - is even better
unlabelledView post →Shadow Gambit, the last game of the legendary Mimimi studio is 50% off, its one of my favorite games ever, a stealth tactical masterpiece, I will always recommend it.
unlabelledView post →HELLS YEAH! More folks coming around to the awesomeness that is Shadow Gambit! Seriously, y'all, go check out this game! It's fun, it's got great characters, it's got a ton of personality, & you get to shank the Inquisition! What's not to love? 💀🏴☠️ #ShadowGambitTheCursedCrew #indiegame #pirates
unlabelledView post →I picked up Shadow Gambit back when it came out, but didn't have time to play it because crunch. My kid just finished it and kept talking about it, so I finally dove in. And yeah, it is 100% my jam. (RIP Mimimi Games, they made cool things.) store.steampowered.com/app/1545560/...
unlabelledView post →I’ve been playing a lot of Shadow Gambit - The Cursed Crew the last few days. If you enjoy real-time stealth games where you command multiple units, each with different abilities, then check it out! The art is phenomenal, fully voice-acted, and an adventure fit for a crew of cursed pirates. 🏴☠️☠️🗡️

unlabelledView post →Random list, Raul favorite stealth games (there is a lot!) Dishonored 1/2/DotO Thief 1/2 Metal Gear Solid 1/3/5 (love 2story but not the gameplay) Mimimi trilogy, specially Shadow Gambit Blood West Gloomwood Invisible Inc Sniper Elite 5 Commandos 2 Summerian Six Hitman trilogy/Blood Money (1/?)
unlabelledView post →Now I'm playing Sumerian Six - a stealth-tactics game where you kill Nazis in an alternate WW2 with crazy technology. Feels a lot like a Mimimi game (e.g. Shadow Tactics, Shadow Gambit), and is also very stylish and well-polished so far.

unlabelledView post →not to hijack this, but it's a whole Hooded Horse publisher sale lots of great games, like Against the Storm, Shadow Gambit, Darkwood, and 9 Kings, are on sale for 50%+ off store.steampowered.com/developer/Ho...
unlabelledView post →Its cool to see that @hoodedhorse.bsky.social is publishing Shadow Gambit now, its was my favorite game from last year an a amazing stealth tactics everybody should play. This is a long shot but if this mean that Mimimi can return in some form with Hooded Horse help, it would be amazing.
unlabelledView post →I got Shadow Gambit on your recommendation and that was such a delightful tactical stealth game. I'm also waiting to get over my fear of deep water to pickup Still Wakes the Deep because of you!
unlabelledView post →Shadow Gambit being 75% off on Steam is actual robbery, they're basically paying you to play the game.
unlabelledView post →Need more game recs like XCOM, Shadow Gambit, Mario + Rabbids, Mutant Year Zero etc... Real-time or turn-based tactics stuff basically. I am eating this genre up and need new things to play!
unlabelledView post →Here’s a picture of what the second pumpkin was going for (the character Zagan from the video game Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew). My kid did it without a reference - he just has these references memorized I guess.
unlabelledView post →I’ve decided what I’m gonna be for Halloween. I have a red hooded cape thing from a previous year so I figured I could dress up as one of the enemy characters in Shadow Gambit, the game that my kid’s character is from. I made the crown thing today!
unlabelledView post →A couple that come to mind for me recently are Prince of Persia The Lost Crown, & Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew. Both great games that reviewed really well but did not sell at the level they deserved. Sadly Shadow Gambit's dev shuttered recently, especially sad to see after such a good game

unlabelledView post →Always a different experience playing a studio's last game after they've shut down - just started "Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew", it's good, shame it didn't sell - I remember playing Vampire: the Masquerade – Bloodlines at it's launch and thinking it was the best thing Troika had done yet. Alas.

unlabelledView post →One day I would love to get into a game like Dwarf Fortress. But mine are mostly tactic games like Battletech (2018), Invisible Inc and Wildermyth. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is also making it's way up. Anything newer will have to wait until I get a new PC.
