Dev of Shadow Tactics, Desperados III, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew shutting down

Well this is certainly unexpected. Mimimi Games developer of games including Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Desperados III and the recently launched Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew will be closing up.

I'm honestly shocked by this one, as they made some really great games in a genre that not many other developers are doing (or not doing well). Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew also only just launched on August 17th to pretty glowing reviews from many publications and videos.

This just goes to show how difficult the games industry is, even for reasonably known names like Mimimi Games who made games that had great reviews.

In the announcement they said their increasingly ambitious games "took a heavy personal toll on us and our families" and so they're going to "prioritize our well-being and to pull the brakes instead of signing up for another multi-year production cycle" so Shadow Gambit was their last game. They'll still continue support for Shadow Gambit with patches but no more games will be made.

You can find their games on:

• GOG
• Humble Store
• Steam
