ACGJeremy PenterAug 2023"While the massive number of enemies can make some levels feel more mechanical than I liked, the end result is still worth jumping into if you like these kinds of games. Funny characters, cool powers, and a unique world that makes you ask "What if Pirate Ninjas were a thing?"

GamingTrendRon BurkeAug 202395/100With innumerable improvements to the formula, Mimimi has delivered another hit. Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew is a wonderful tactical title with an even better story than its predecessors. This is the formula perfected.

Slant MagazineSteven ScaifeAug 20233.5/5 starsBut the non-linear nature of The Cursed Crew does have its virtues. There are some magnificent moments of discovery where you feel as though you’ve circumvented the level design by maneuvering the right character into the right position to bypass certain guard setups or parts of the terrain. Simply by spending so much time with the characters, you’ll hit upon certain combinations of abilities independently, fine-tuning new strategies all the way up to the end. It’s in these moments that you see what the developers are aiming for, and they suggest that The Cursed Crew could be a tentative step in an exciting new direction for the studio, even if those elements are more notable for how they might be refined in a subsequent release.
