Announcing Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew – the next level of Stealth Strategy
M
Mimimi Games
In Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew you will join a living ghost ship, sailing the Lost Caribbean, and assemble a cursed pirate crew. Embrace their magical powers to defy the menacing army of the Inquisition of the Burning Maiden, who stands between you and the mysterious treasure of the legendary Captain Mordechai. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is releasing on Epic Games Store in 2023.
This time, we push the genre to the next level by introducing magic and supernatural elements as well as more exciting new features. In previous games of this genre, gameplay mechanics and characters skills were limited by realistic settings. We have cursed pirates with supernatural abilities now, which gives us a lot of freedom to design meaningful crazy new mechanics and change existing ones. For example - instead of using a simple sword, our crew's lethal navigator Afia can dash trough space and time in the blink of an eye. She can target enemies from afar or even freeze time to prevent them from spotting her.
Aside from Afia, you will be able to unlock seven other cursed pirates and experiment with their magical abilities to explore dozens of skill synergies. They all have unique und interesting personalities on top of that. Get to know them on the deck of your living ghost ship, The Red Marley, that serves as Hub and home for your crew. Learn even more about out their stories during individual character missions.
Manipulate Time and Experiment
The quicksaving and quickloading mechanic was always a big part of our games: With this feature players can experiment with different strategies and just quickload the game to try a new one.
But this time, the fantasy setting of the game allows us to embed this mechanic into the world and narration of the game. Your ghost ship gives you time-manipulating powers. 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.
The time-manipulating powers of the Red Marley are yours to wield. The characters will even react to you using this feature. And most importantly, it will play a big part in the main plot and overall narration – but we save this one for later.
More freedom than ever
We also provide the players with more freedom than ever before. By turning the game into a dynamic sandbox we allow for a more non-linear game progression. You can freely choose which mission to tackle or which of the several islands of the Lost Caribbean – a mysterious island chain set in an alternate history version of the Golden Age of Piracy – to set foot on.
You can even select different entry and exit points before starting a mission. Which character you want to unlock first is up to you as well – and who to take with you on any mission too. Each combination opens up new ways to play through the unique magical abilities of member of your cursed pirate crew.
Players can really carve their own path through the game while defining their playstyle with their own unique solutions. You can be aggressive and confront enemies head-on or be stealthy and use the supernatural powers of your crew to sneak around them - or even manipulate the environment to your advantage.
Our First Gameplay Trailer will give you an idea of how all of that comes together.
But we will have even more to share in the upcoming months.
Wishlist the game on the Epic Game Store.
