Shadow gambit the cursed crew

Quite a surprise, their games have always reviewed well, I guess those good reviews just never translated into good sales

Yeah, I doubt I would have bought it today without this news. I was going to wait until the Christmas steam sale. But I picked up this to show a bit of a support.
 
Early days but so far it seems ridiculously easy. Dunno if it's because I've just come off the back of Desperados III or what.
 
Was beginning to think this game was turning out to be a dud but it clicked tonight on the "Iron Bay" map where some situations needed me to use all three characters at once. Previously, it's been pretty much a one (wo)man affair.

Yeah the levels definitely get tougher, though a lot depends on which crew members you unlock first, unlock the sharpshooter woman and things are a lot easier than if you dont
 
Nice that you can unlock them as you wish, Toya was one of my favourites from the start, also unlocked the french cannoness, posh gentleman and john mercury the scottish lad
 
Yeah, I was having fun with Pinkus tonight. Have decided to give him my first valor upgrade so he can possess more enemies. It was great fun doing the same sort of thing with Isabelle in Desperados III but he's even more powerful.

Just finished Act 2 and now this game has really grown on me. Last night I didn't want to go to bed, so it must be good. :D It's right up there with Desperados III for me.
 
Thats good to hear. Ive just done the 3rd level you can do and unlocked a 3rd character. Feels a slow burner. Enjoying it when i play. Just suffering from being released now.

I'm pacing myself (no more than 1 mission a day) as I'm enjoying playing and I'll be sad when I've completed it; that, and I have about 4 games on the go at the moment :)

Not sure how much stuff there is to do in main story v total completion but I just got the 20% complete achievement in 20 hours of gameplay.
 
Finished the main stuff now about 50% completion but there is another target to aim for so I'm going to keep going. Highly unusual for me but I am trying to collect some of the badges to get to 85%...

It's been a great experience. Frustrating at times but that is just my brain getting so used to the save reminder that I ignore it and then cry when I've lost 10 minutes of gameplay. :D

Any of the Mimimi games are must haves if you ask me. I was dismayed when they shut down because their Real-Time Tactics games are just fantastic.

Desperados 3 is the one most recommend. I enjoyed Shadow Tactics, too. Have just picked up Shadow Gambit on sale and enjoying it thus far. Compared to the other games, it has a more comedic / fantasy tone.
