Yesterday, a brand new game from a Mimimi Games studio was released. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is out now! I am so looking forward to playing it!

Shadow Gambit is a stealth strategy game. This genre’s name was coined by Mimimi Games particularly for Shadow Gambit. Prior to that the genre was known as real time tactics, but that name didn’t really cut it. Personally, I really like stealth strategy games, and I have played all the titles that fit the theme that I am aware of:

• Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood (2002)
• Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (2016)
• Desperados III (2020)
• Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice (2021)

Three out of four titles on this list were developed by Mimimi Games, so I think it is safe to say that they single-handedly carry the torch of the genre. I am really looking forward to playing Shadow Gambit, because it is the first game that is Mimimi’s own intellectual property. On top of that, Shadow Gambit is the first stealth strategy game to feature non-linear gameplay!

Instead of making a lengthy post explaining the gameplay of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew or other games from its genre, I will point you to the launch trailer and the official website.
