spectre how many hours was your playthrough?
Twenty something hours? Probably closer to thirty. I kept it alt-tabbed as a distraction while "working," so it's a bit iffy.
Think I could easily pull an extra ten for some low-hanging achievements.

Mission length is comfortably bite-size, twenty minutes for the shortest one, up to an hour for the longest,
will of course depend on difficulty and familiarity with the genre.
Last mission took me by surprise and for the final push I found myself well into the wee hours.

Man, I can't finish this game.

Not that I'm incapable of doing it, it's actually fairly easy, except that the CONSTANT recycling of islands in the last third of the game is fucking ridiculous.

I finally quit because I've basically been doing the same island 4 times now for different missions. It's so lazy and lame.

It's not a bad game otherwise but this kind of lazy design makes playing through it a real slog.

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.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
DLCs seem ridiculously overpriced. I'll be waiting for a sale if I bother at all.
They're gonna close shop anyway so they're trying to do a last round of milking with those prices.
Yeah, probably get some pitybux too. But hey at least the employees to get a bonus (outside of their severance, idk how the law works there)

So, if the studio went out of business and they just released a new DLC for the game - where does the money go?

There's no bankruptcy here AFAIK. They're just shutting down the company, like Troika was.

*shrugs*
Depends on how they will shut it down.
They might keep the company in some sort of letterbox limbo on the side, or they might shut company down in ´legal` sense which would lead to said type trustee handling remaining assets and liabilities.

Not all bankruptcies are debtors practically skinning failed entrepreneurs.

Fuck yes. That's the best thing they could have done; leave the fans with the ability to keep making Mimimi games. All the ingredients for another great game were present in Shadow Gambit, it just fell down a bit with reused, unfocused maps, which we can fix ourselves with modding tools. Really glad to see that they're making it easy to add new dialogue and cutscenes too - endless new adventures.

I hope they bring the same tools out for Desperados as well because I could happily spend the next five decades just playing and making Desperados 3 fan campaigns.

That's a nice swan song from them I guess

The genre is severely lacking in new games but if the tool is robust enough i might consider getting this on next Steam Sale if there is enough people making custom content for it

Honestly I don't feel like lack of content is the issue with Mimimi games. Hell, I didn't even get to all the Desperados 3 DLC despite loving that game. There is already a TON to do in each game. Folks complain about the same islands being reused here but the play experience is still different depending on going east > west or west > east.

Do DLC characters get upgrades somehow, like when we finish their respective missions?
