The launch of Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is here now so we can head out into the world of Shadow Gambit today
We have had a chance to set sail a little bit for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew before now, but here we go with the full launch of the game on the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The stealth and strategy that we need to hone in will be put to work by Mimimi Games as we can now help the full crew head out for the lost treasure and face off with those damned Inquisition members out there too. Just as we have been hoping to get to do. Though, if you are new to Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew and still need to be shown why you might want to give this title a try, let us dig in with one more breakdown of what is going on in the game and why you should give it a go. Beyond learning about these new pirates that have met some terrible ends, that is.
For those that have not seen all the fun we have had with Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew up to now, we have one more breakdown trailer to look at that goes along with the launch of it all. Here we are shown a few more of the crew members and some of their stories, while looking at how we are going to be able to stop and manipulate time as needed in the game. This is all to lean into the game mechanics, as we will be controlling multiple characters in the game and can have them act independently or simultaneously as needed. Thus the game mechanic. As soon we can sneak through the various islands as we so choose and see if we can get all the best perks for the members of our crew we bring along. Choices will change how things flow out there in Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, so it is worth taking note of all of that here and see just what we should plan on.
Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew — Launch Trailer
Welcome to the Lost Caribbean! In this stealth strategy game, join a ghost ship with a living soul and assemble a cursed pirate crew. Embrace supernatural powers to defy the menacing army of the Inquisition, which stands between you and the mysterious treasure of the legendary Captain Mordechai.
Ahoy, cursed pirate!
This is Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew, an all-new stealth strategy game set during an alternate history of the Golden Age of Piracy.
The Curse of Lost Souls haunts the mysterious island chain known as the Lost Caribbean, which is under the control of the terrible forces of the Inquisition. They despise all that is supernatural and use soul-devouring fire to hunt cursed pirates like you!
Assemble Your Cursed Pirate Crew:
Embark on a journey with the cursed pirate Afia and seek the legendary Black Pearls to revive a cursed crew of your own. Each of your eight shipmates is a playable character with an individual personality and armed with unique supernatural powers. Launch friend or foe with Gaëlle’s magical cannon, use Mr. Mercury’s soul anchor to open a magic portal, or dash across spacetime for split-second stealth attacks with Afia’s mythical sword.
Outsmart Your Enemy:
Pull off an epic heist and salvage a mysterious treasure of otherworldly power to defy the army of the Inquisition. Infiltrate their fortresses. Sneak behind enemy lines. Cleverly combine the magical skills of your crew to take out a variety of enemies with carefully considered tactics. Feel like a brilliant mastermind when your plan clicks perfectly into place!
Your Ship, Your Home:
Join The Red Marley, a ghost ship with a living soul. On deck, plan your next adventure or just hang out with your crew mates while they enjoy their un-life. Get to know these legendary cursed pirates of the Lost Caribbean. With individual characters, missions find out about their backstories, learn who they are, and what led them on their cursed journeys.
Explore The Lost Caribbean:
Go ashore on a variety of exotic islands in the Lost Caribbean. From locales oozing with cursed soul magic to tropical beaches and lively pirate shanty towns: Every island is a unique hand-crafted sandbox where adventures await.
Play It Your Way:
Freely select your crew members before embarking on each mission. Utilize their unique abilities to find new strategies against the forces of the Inquisition. Plot your own path to enter and exit each island, be stealthy or more head-on in your play style, and use the environment to your advantage. It’s your playground to experiment in!
Manipulate Time & Experiment:
The powerful time-manipulating magic of your ghost ship is yours to wield. Pause time to consider your strategic choices or queue up multiple character actions. Capture a memory of every passing moment, to instantly return to if things go south. Change your approach and tactics to discover your own unique solutions to each moment in the game – in your own time!
I know I have been hyped up for the launch of Shadow Gambit before the demos came out, and those only fueled the fires here. I am a little curious to see how it will flow on the consoles more than the PC, but that is a personal taste of mine and a morbid curiosity. I am sure it will all function just as well and we will get to learn many different stories along the way. I am going to stop writing for now, though, and just head out and load the game up for myself. The above video does a great job of showing us just what we should be expecting in Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew as of now. It is time to set sail!
Have you had a chance to play Shadow Gambit yet or did you hold off until now for the full launch? How different do you think each of the crew’s stories will be or will there be some similar overlap between some? If we choose to go to a different island out of order, will we be hindered greatly or will the difficulty always scale along with what we have had up to now already? Sail on down to the comment section and discuss all of this and everything else you have on your mind. There should be more for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew in the coming days, so please keep on checking back here for all of those updates and many, many more.
