I'm a big Mimimi fan and I believe Shadow Tactics and specially Desperados 3 are masterpieces. With that said, I was expecting a lot from Shadow Gambit and after finishing Desperados 3 I knew they were going to try a fantasy setting after seeing Isabelle's skills. At first, I was dissappointed. Shadow Gambit seemed much easier and the story was not as strong. But with time I came to really appreciate what they have done here. Characters are very interesting and this game is absurdly fun. It's amazing to see what you can do in missions with different combinations of characters and since there are 8 different ones and you can only bring 3, the combinations are endless. I recommend this game for any fan of Mimimi's previous games and even for newcommers as this may be the best entry to start. But please give it a few hours and try to open at least 4 characters because this is when the game really starts to shine.
An exciting and fantastical pirate adventure in the form of an incredibly solid tactical game. What a wonderful gem this is. It's a highly polished product across all facets: game design, narrative, sound and art direction, etc. The pirate theme lends itself very well to the strategic and tactical gameplay, and the story supports everything beautifully. Hats off to all the developers!
This is an absolutely incredible game. For those who love the genre, it's pretty much the best you can get.
