Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew Release Date: August 17, 2023

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is arriving on PC through Steam and the Epic Games Store, PS5, and the Xbox Series X on August 17, 2023. The game is developed and published by Mimimi Games.

Gameplay

Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a stealth action-adventure game where players take control of a crew of pirates, each one with its own abilities that will allow players to outsmart or outmaneuver enemies and solve environmental puzzles. Every island has its own challenges which can all be solved in various ways, so players' creativity will definitely be tested. When things go south, players also have access to some martial abilities, although if I were you, I won't rely on solving the islands through combat too much. Thankfully, every mistake can be rectified using the powerful time-manipulating magic that your ghost ship wields, allowing players to pause time and queue up actions before enacting them.
