50 SHADOW GAMBIT: THE CURSED CREW
Has us hooked
FORMAT PS5 / ETA 17 AUG / PUB MIMIMI GAMES DEV MIMIMI GAMES / PLAYERS 1
With a sharp sabre sticking out of the centre of her chest, it doesn’t take much imagination to picture how protagonist Afia Manicato left the land of the living. Being undead might hinder your ability to blend in at the local tavern, but it is, it turns out, otherwise a real blessing for a sneaky pirate thief.
You may know Mimimi Games for coining the stealth strategy genre with the (rather good) Shadow Tactics and Desperados III. Shadow Gambit is a fresh take on it, with a standalone, original story, while evolving everything we loved about the often-devious sneakers that came before. The isometric presentation and focus on coordinating multiple playable characters will all feel familiar to returning players and, after going hands-on for the duration of the first act, we’re already confident that this is going to build on these strong foundations in the best ways.
