Anyone here played Shadow Gambit The Cursed Crew?
It looks lively, but I'm not quite sure how the game plays, specifically on a gamepad. The tags say it's real time strategy, but doesn't look like any real time strategy I've played.
I'd be interested regardless, but if it's not a great on a gamepad I'll wait until I have some time to game on my desktop.
It's more like the Commando or Shadow Tactics series, if you've heard of those. Not like Age of Empires or Warcraft.
Like Commando series you say? Sold
Commandos, I should have said.
I haven't played any of those, but it does look like it might be doable then.
Played a bit of it. It works quite well on a gamepad. You control the characters (initially just one, but pretty sure you'll get a crew later) directly with the analog stick. It's nothing like a traditional RTS, more of a strategic stealth game.
And if I remerber correctly: The quicksave function is diegetic, i.e.: explained in the lore of the game (since savescumming is pretty mandatory in these kind, of games).
Ah, gotcha. That sounds like it might work!
Based on my experience with Shadow Tactics, I will be getting this month’s bundle for this game alone. Like ST, Shadow Gambit should play great on a controller and be a good fit for the Deck.
