2023's Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a game I will always advocate for. One of the best strategy games in recent years, you can think of it as a stealth-driven blend of Commandos and XCOM with a crew of magical pirates. It's the final release from indie developer Mimimi Games, who previously brought us Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3, but stepped away from development at the end of that year. Now, the team has partnered with indie strategy publisher Hooded Horse, known for the likes of Manor Lords and Against the Storm, to ensure its ultimate game will be preserved for the long haul.
Sumerian Six is out now! Keep Stealth Strategy games alive and check it out. It might be the most Mimimi-like game you’ll get for a while! To celebrate the release we are running a 25% off sale and a special bundle with Sumerian Six with an additional 10% off.

They also improved the demo with a quite big patch, so if you had any issues, especially performance-wise, you might give it another try:
We will post one more time about this game when it's out, as we still think its probably the most-Mimimi-like game in this beloved genre for a while and of major interest to all fans. But let's also see what we'll learn about Commandos: Origins during gamescom!

Sumerian Six was recently announced and dropped a demo a few weeks ago – and it’s made by our friends at Artificer and Devolver, who got in touch with us to talk about everything RTT … ehrm, Stealth Strategy of course!
You should really just give it a try, now that the demo is finally available worldwide (yes, even in Germany), uncensored and updated with a bunch of new bug-fixes!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2981640
While we didn’t have any influence on the game directly, we checked out a build and we think it is one of the best contenders in our beloved genre! High production value, great (fresh!) skills and characters, humorous tonality in a special setting. We immediately felt at home, as you can see the influence from our games in terms of controls and HUD.
We think this is actually a game that Mimimi could have made, so we are sure you want to give it a try.
Thanks to Artificer and Devolver for keeping the genre alive with this game! We hope you enjoy playing it as much as we did 😊

Writing about Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew always fills my heart with a mix of warmth and sadness. The tactical RPG is one of 2023's best strategy games, a culmination of the formula honed by indie developer Mimimi Games through its previous games Shadow Tactics and Desperados 3. However, it also marks the studio's final release, as it steps away from development after 15 years. Now, in a final parting gift, the team passes the torch to its community with a free update adding mod tools to Shadow Gambit.

Ahoy cursed pirates!
We know, we said the Shadow Gambit DLCs are going to be our last update. But we actually have one more thing to share with you.
Since Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, many of you have been requesting some sort of modding level editor for our games. We took a first step in that direction with the implementation of the Level Editing Cheats for Desperados 3.
Today, we're thrilled to release the "Modding Tool" for Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew as a free update!
We're adding this feature to the main game with the latest patch update, which is live now.

Avast ye, cursed pirates!
We've just released a Hotfix patch update.
It addresses the most crucial bugs that you have reported since the launch of the two DLCs Shadow Gambit: Yuki's Wish and Shadow Gambit: Zagan's Ritual.
Here are the most important changes that we've made:
Fixed bug in the character mission "Gaelle's Letter (Ch.2)" preventing the player from leaving the warehouse.
Unfortunately the save games for this mission will be deprecated and players will need to restart it. In other missions this should not be the case.
Fixed crashes and issues when using Yuki’s Tanuki Kuma in some edge cases.
Fixed the “Give Them No Quarter” badge that was not properly working before.

Shadow Gambit DLCs – OUT NOW!
Set the Red Marley's sails for the two new DLC expansions Shadow Gambit: Yuki's Wish and Shadow Gambit: Zagan's Ritual. They are available NOW on PC and consoles!
Each DLC features several hours of fresh content including a brand-new character, an uncharted magical island and an epic story campaign across six new missions to experience.
First up is Shadow Gambit: Yuki's Wish. No, we are casting no illusion spell on you, this is really happening: Yuki and Kuma from Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun make a triumphant return! Cursed by the Lost Caribbean waters, they bring all-new supernatural abilities to the Red Marley's crew.
Embark to the fabled Japanese-themed island "Dragon's Dream", where an ancient dragon awaits, promising to grant wishes to the brave. The question echoes in the Caribbean air – will you solve the dragon's riddles and fulfill Yuki's wish? Join Yuki and Kuma on this extraordinary quest, unraveling a new story across six mesmerizing missions.
Shadow Gambit: Zagan's Ritual
Meanwhile, Shadow Gambit: Zagan's Ritual invites your cursed crew on an eerie island with a mysterious Gothic-style castle. Inhabited by the enigmatic scientist "Zagan the Apostate", you are invited to help him to perform a dark ritual. Uncover the secrets of the Inquisition's holy flame through six enthralling missions, wielding Zagan's potent yet unstable powers against your foes. Are you ready to explore the corrupted nature of this closely-guarded Inquisition enigma?
Good to know: Both DLCs integrate seamlessly into the main game. Notably, the new DLC characters will also be at the your disposal for almost any main game mission.
Free Content Update: Treasure Hunts
In addition to the grand DLC adventures, we have another parting gift for all players in the form of the FREE "Treasure Hunts" content update on PC and consoles.
Unleash your inner explorer as the update invites you on unique "Treasure Hunt" quests for legendary pirate treasures and artifacts. This new endgame content is seamlessly integrated into the main game through a patch on December 6.
Set against the backdrop of the Lost Caribbean, the "Treasure Hunts" offer a unique free-roam experience, allowing players to set foot on the islands without the constraints of specific story missions.
All "Treasure Hunts" are a part of this free roam experience in the respective locations and offer skill-testing challenges across 14 distinct "Treasure Hunt" missions. Each of them features different gameplay twists and engaging objectives.
For example, picture yourself following remnants on the enigmatic island of Calamity Reef, pointing you towards hidden treasures or wield a magical pistol to eliminate a set number of guards, unveiling a covered treasure chest. A dedicated codex page tracks your completion progress, adding a layer of accomplishment to your treasure-seeking endeavors.
The "Treasure Hunts" update gives you a new engaging endgame experience, beckoning you to explore more of the mysteries of the Lost Caribbean.
Complete Edition: All-in-One Pirate Booty Package
For those who are still seeking to play the main game or want to upgrade their experience, we have something special: the Complete Edition!
