Wer die alten Desperados-Teile kennt, wird sich hier wie zu Hause fühlen.
Obwohl mein letztes Spiel dieser Art schon 20 Jahre her ist, finde ich mich auf Anhieb zurecht.
Ein kleines Tutorial erklärt anfangs die grundlegenden Mechaniken, sodass auch Neueinsteiger mit dem Spielprinzip vertraut werden.

Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt habe ich noch nicht alle Charaktere kennengelernt. Die mir zu Verfügung stehenden Klassen sind in ihren Fähigkeiten unterschiedlich gestaltet, was verschiedenste Herangehensweisen in den Missionen ermöglicht. Einen richtigen Weg gibt es dadurch nicht. Es zählt nur der Eigene. Das gefällt mir sehr gut.

Das mittelalterlich-japanische Setting wurde gut aufgegriffen. Die Karten sind schön gestaltet und der Soundtrack ist stimmig. Die Grafik ist ok.

Ich bin auf die kommenden Charaktere gespannt und freue mich darauf wie sich die Geschichte weiter entwickeln wird.

After years of war, the Shogun unified Japan and established peace. When a mysterious warlord known as Kage-Sama emerges, jeopardizing the country's stability, Oshiro Mugen, a loyal Samurai, is assigned to reveal Kage-Samas identity and eliminate him and his allies.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, is an isometric, real-time tactic stealth game, inspired by the Commandos and Desperados games. Take control of a small team to carry out various acts of espionage, sabotage, and assassination. Infiltrate heavily guarded fortresses, eliminate enemies, capture special targets, steal important documents, eavesdrop on conversations to collect information, or rescue other characters. In order to reach your targets, missions generally require you to methodically take out enemies, using distractions, lures, traps, and backstabbing to kill without raising the alarm. Take care to hide slain guards to prevent being discovered.

During the game you recruit five agents specialized in infiltration and assassination to protect the shogun and the country's fragile peace. Each hero has its own set of skills.
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2452538646
Hayato is a grim ninja, never questioning tasks. He uses the typical weapons of a shadow warrior, shuriken and ninjato. Hayato is able to masterfully distract his enemies to kill them unnoticed in an ambush.

Mugen is an honorable Samurai who is loyal to his Shogun with heart and soul. He leads the team and is able to kill more than one enemy at the same time. Mugen always carries a bottle of sake which he cleverly positions to lure guards into doom.

Aiko is the transformation expert of the team. Disguised as a Geisha with an appealing appearance or as an unremarkable priestess, she can distract every enemy and arrange for her team to accomplish mission's unseen.

Takuma, with his years-long experience as a sniper and gunsmith, supports the team as an expert at explosives and ranged attacks. After losing his leg in the war, he can’t fight actively anymore but this limitation does not make him less dangerous. With his rifle he is able to clear the way for your team from afar.

Yuki is a clever, inquisitive young outcast. As an orphan, she grew up on the streets. Equipped with her bird whistle, she’s able to lure enemy guards into her self-built trap and into certain death.

Character design is one of the highlights of the game. You quickly feel attached to the five heroes whose individuality is perfectly portrayed by very good voice acting, not only in cut scenes but throughout missions. Especially Yuki, the orphan, teenage, street-child, who's always ready for the kill, will be remembered as one of the most remarkable characters in computer games.

If we take a look at the statistics there's something weird about Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. The overall Steam rating is 96% positive, which is outstanding. At the same time, most of my friends only played the game for less than three hours or only have it in their library without having played it ever. According to Steam statistics, only 10.5 % of all players collected the achievement that marks the end of the game, which means that most players did not finish the game. And there's a reason for this. 'Shadow Tactics' is a difficult game.

The difficulty in this game gradually raises. Every mission is harder than the last. And while I struggled with early mission, thinking I'm never going to make it, endurance kept me going. The amazing thing is that re-playing earlier missions after completing the game felt easy. So, there's a learning curve. Don't give up. The game is totally worth it! Promise!

The secret to success in 'Shadow Tactics' is coordinated attacks. When you start playing 'Shadow Tactics' you naturally select a single character to move forward and take out enemies. This however makes the game far more difficult than moving forward as a group and taking out enemies coordinated.

The game offers the possibility to plan individual character actions and then carry them out all at once. This so-called shadow mode is highly effective to take out groups of enemies, that otherwise are very hard to overcome. Shadow mode lets you sweep away groups of enemies in swift, decisive moves. It’s a thrill to hit the button and see your minions move in tandem.

Among hundreds of games there are only a few masterpieces. Shadow Tactics is definitely one of them, simply because the game gets all details right. Graphics, story, characters, music, controls, gameplay, AI, level design, it's all great!

If you have a weak spot for tactical stealth games this one is not to be missed.

Pros


- beautiful graphics
- brilliant character design
- very good story
- very good music
- dynamic soundtrack that automatically adjusts to the situation
- excellent sound effects
- very realistic weather effects
- big maps with long levels
- outstanding, diverse level design
- many different ways to complete a level
- smart AI
- fun
- addictive
- exciting (makes you sweat in your seat)
- very good design of achievements
- great design off additional in-game achievements (badges)
- high replay value and longtime motivation
- great controller support
- truly a masterpiece

Cons


- very difficult
- brief moments of frustration (that are overcome by let’s try this again)
- crashed to Windows four times during my 54 hours of play-time. I think it's related to cloud saving.

This game really is something. On the one hand, the idea is great, the setting is amazing and I love the voice acting.
But boy, have the devs overplayed the game. You really get the feeling that whoever designed the levels played them for hours and hours and eliminated any and every convenient way to pass the mission in a smooth way. Instead, clever skill-usage is blocked by some annoying object so your skill doesn't reach the enemy by one pixel. Way too many enemies roam around, making it impossible to keep an eye of all of their movements at once. The controls are horribly overloaded and almost impossible to handle in fast succession. How many times have I tried to make a character walk a finely grained path, only to have them stand up and run and get killed, because that is what a double-click does?
Really, the first few levels were a breeze. But the last five or so were pure agony to sit through. And there are achievements to do to missions in different ways (all requiring you to do the actions and timings the devs had in mind?) or even not use certain skills that give you at least a bit of a breather? Hard pass!

Dude if you are considering this game when its on sale for $4 BUY IT. I mainly play shooters and competitive games and solo games drive me insane but this one is an absolute gem with its gameplay and ease of quicksaving and reverting. Beautiful game and I actually completed this game when I never finish any solo player games lol

I beat it in like 15 hours my first playthrough and I'm a perfectionist so every interaction has to go the way I want or I revert to the last quicksave lol Great game like this you don't think about the time spent playing. Most games that last more than 10 hours I start pulling my hair out trying to finish hence why I don't beat many games lmao

My favorite stealth game besides MGSV. Disable the intro and set voiceovers to Japanese.

Some quirky control issues but that's to be expected with the game format. Save-scumming is encouraged by the game to alleviate some of the pain of this. Unity engine so terrible optimization but the game itself is not too demanding so not a huge issue.

Nonlethal attacks are basically useless (last about 5 minutes and then they wake up and sound alarm) but there's no penalty for lethal play so I'm not really sure why it was included at all.

Like any pure stealth game, patience is required; this is not a run-and-gun game. If that's your deal then this is a definite recommend,

One of the best stealth strategy games ever made and easily competes with the classics like Commandos. Easy to play, yet impossible to master. The controls are very intuitive and the character actions are simple yet versatile and there are many ways to complete each encounter and level. The story is simple but the characters are lovable and their personalities fit perfectly into their play styles.

Each character is has overlapping abilities and can often do each others jobs. However they each do something better than someone else, so using characters perfectly is rewarding and efficient, but the game is forgiving enough that if you put yourself in a position where you don't have the exact right tool for the job, but are creative enough, you can always find a way around.

The game itself is very difficult and some of the challenges are down right impossible for the average player, however the quicksave/quickload system makes the game extremely forgiving and playable even for new players without making the game any easier to complete and ruining the difficulty.

I would rate this game a 10/10, I loved every second and am looking forward to playing the other games by this team!

Damn!! This game is good!! From the moment you meet the characters, they tug on your heartstrings. It is impossible not to like them. The gameplay is stellar. Sometimes it is difficult to find a solution, but there is always a solution. The one improvement I would suggest to the developers is to add a pause function while planning. If you are discovered, you often have to quickload your save because the controls are not made for quick action. Everything must be premeditated and it is difficult to respond when something unexpected happens.

Aside from that, great game! The voice acting is great in both Japanese and English, which is rare. Definitely a great little gem of a game here. I'm really glad I found it and I recommend you discover it too!

After playing the demo, I was confused. I waited so many years for a Commandos type game. I could not accept that realtime tactics, a genre so insanely addictive and fun slowly died away and noone was ready to make any of it anymore. GOG was there luckily and supplied us with the old gems that luckily aged well on one side as they are still a lot of fun. But graphics and controls have aged quite much. Then all of a sudden I heard about a game that should be just like Commandos. I mean, what? Do they know which legacy is to fill out?
Then- then the demo was out, I was blown away, controls? Awesome! Sound and Voiceacting? AMAZING! Graphics, up to date! Gameplay and Gamedesign? Insanely addictive!
I played it through in 36 hrs, I dont want to spoiler anything as I feel anyone should see this game unfolding.
Just take this checklist:
You liked Commandos, Desperados and Robin Hood?
Then get it!
You didn't like Commandos, Desperados and Robin Hood?
GET IT ANYWAYS!

A lengthy, well-written, clever game with amazing level designs that forces you to develop mindful strategies.

My only gripe with it is that the ninjas are a bit underpowered. The progression does not proceed much and there are many small obstacles and walls that even I could scale with fat ass but they cannot because of the limitations of the game design.

Plot Summary:
You're a hired shinobi on a mission at the tail end of Japan's 100 years of ceaseless war. You succeed in your mission and Japan is now entering a time of peace. People are holly-jolly but there's a rumor that one person didn't like the peace & want to jump back to war where all the glories are. You're called to investigate the matter.

How you play:
You control more than a single character to achieve your objective of either steal some stuff or kill a target.

Since there are more enemies than you & you can't regenerate health by taking cover, didn't have useful medkits lying around & can't use the enemy as medkits, stealth is the way to go about things. Each character has their own unique talents and skills that compliments each other to get things done. How you go about it is up to you. Be creative, fight dirty & think like a ninja. Or a thief. Or a veteran arquebusier with his pet tanuki. Don't fight like a samurai & you'll be fine.

What I enjoy:
-Toby Longworth. Prominent Warhammer 40K voice actor who's best work was Colonel Ironhand Stracken's voice.

-A tactical stealth game that harkens back to the days of Commandos. I miss this genre quite a lot & it's great to see that one dev brings it back and then some.

-Think before acting. Timing is everything in the game. One wrong step and you'll fail the mission.

-There are many ways to achieve your objective. Cause a distraction, attract attention, blending in, setting traps, effective misdirection, etc.


What I didn't enjoy:
-Samurais. Gentlemen that you can't sweet talk your way out of, can't back stab your way in, can't get a friendly civilian to lure them out of their posts.

-Save Scumming Temptation. It's my guilty pleasure.

-Knowing that this game is most likely to be a one-off. Due to the plot, it's most likely that the game will not have a direct sequel apart than introducing new characters in to replace the old and keep the story going. It's sad because I would definitely enjoy more missions.

Bought this game on sale when it was 5$'s and I just finished it. The campaign took me a bit over 30 hours to complete and I enjoyed pretty much every second of it. One of the best stealth games I have ever played and definitely worth more then the 5 bucks I paid for it. Camera can be annoying sometimes and I would recommend changing the controls (I used 1,2,3,4... for each character and z,x,c,v,b for their abilities). Also you are pretty much forced to save scum since the game is a lot of trial and error but when you do succeed it feels amazing.

I spent 6+ hours on the last mission (mission 13) trying to kill all the enemy troops. got all of them except the ones in the last building. Very fun for me and many ways how to dispatch enemies and get objectives. It is like the old commandos 1&2 game but I enjoyed this better. It has some replayability in trying to get individual achievements in each mission (which I will try to do next).

It has honestly been a while since I finished any game, usually I lose interest in finishing a game somewhere in the middle of it. In Shadow Tactics I wanted to finish a mission once I started it. I only wish there were more missions. It might seem short to some, but for me, it is worth the price esp. when it is on sale. Will get the expansion soon and looking forward to a sequel or more expansions.

Fans of Commandos and Desperados rejoice - Mimimi is the new king of our little niche tactical strategy games! Fantastic VO, great level design, multiple ways of finishing levels, great shadow mechanic, various challenges (speedrunners will enjoy these), great characters and beautiful art and sound design, fluid animations, music fits the atmosphere of Japan. The story is decent, but nothing too spectacular - all in all a 9/10 for me!

I will always support these kind of games!

It's pretty standard RTS, but the voices are irritating and the mechanics are annoying. Maybe I just don't have the patience and this isn't my type of game, but overall I was disappointed and feel guilty that a lot of other people would probably enjoy this game, if they have the mindset, just not for me.

So ridiculously fun. My first stealth game and I can't imagine it gets much better than this. I was surprised at how many levels were offered as each one was a work of art. I was thrilled by the classic Japanese settings in various seasons and times of day. As someone who can be pretty slow to make decisions, I appreciated the trial and error aspect of this game, but I imagine a more seasoned player could run right through it through executing various actions at once in shadow mode.
Charming characters with great voiced lines that add to the experience, and strong tension and immersion. Excellent music and sound design. Looking forward to the Aiko expansion.

I love this game. After playing the first mission on the demo, I was immediately hooked. I'm currently on mission 9, have no idea how many missions there are in total, yet am already getting sad that the story/game is going to end.


PRO
1. Being able to control multiple characters brings back fond memories of playing party-based games on Nintendo back in the 90's.

2. Very replayable. I get to choose who to use, when to use them, and how I want to finish the mission, thus there are many many options.

3. Graphics are very crisp.

4. I love how the characters talk to each other during the mission. Really helps me immerse into the game and feel like I'm actually there with them.

5. The story is revealed a little more with each mission, keeping the cliffhanger excitement going cause I can't wait to see what the next twist is.

6. The characters are very relatable.

7. Character conversation is logged, so if you don't hear something one of the characters said, you can open the mission log and read it.

8. For the most part, the characters really compliment each other with their abilities, making teamwork important and useful.


CON
1. Once Takuma is out of ammo, I find him quite useless.

Nice tactical puzzle game completely ruined by awful UI and inconsistency of some in-game mechanics.
But the biggest offender is absence of fast-forward for the timer. 80% of you play time will be waiting for a patrol routes to align, slowly.

Missions design is below average with a strange emphasis on in-face confrontation instead of full stealth, devs really push you towards pseudo real-time action-stealth type of the gameplay instead of full tactical approach. Which make little sense and diminish the fun. Another issue is the characters balance - you can completely remove the old man from the game and nothing of value would be lost. Some abilities become much less relevant to a point of zero usage in the late missions.

Good ideas - subpar execution, but considering how very few games in this genre we have - you will still play it.

if you remember the Commandos games from yesteryear and liked them then you will like this game too. I think the PC is missing more esoteric titles like this. I say esoteric for a reason, because this will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea.

✅ There are a variety of characters with differing skills and equipment that can allow you to navigate through missions in a number of ways to suit your own style, although if your style is not stealth, then you are playing the wrong game. The downside of this also is that most missions will not have all five characters to choose from, limiting your choice a little, although this also works out for a smoother experience because despite their distinctiveness, some characters' skills do overlap.

✅ The learning curve here also comes from controls that can be fiddly at first because almost every button on the controller is needed, and commanding your team quickly can be challenging but achievable. Shadow Mode allows you to plan a move in advance, so that can help massively. Fortunately the game is very concise and helpful when introducing new characters and concepts with quick tutorials.

✅ The graphics aren't exactly pushing the PC to its limits, but they are still easy on the eyes. There can be a lot going on in the screen sometimes and this gets tricky but that's more down to the nature of the game rather than any flaws in graphics.

✅ There is a story in the game that is interesting, but you don't need to know it to enjoy the game as the focus is on the gameplay. There is some interesting character development, though.

✅ The gameplay is where a game like this really shines. It can be very challenging, but there are varying difficulty levels that can help a lot too. The normal difficulty setting is quite challenging and I probably would recommend the easy setting to get used to the controls if you get frustrated easily. One of the best facets of the game is the save system that is very fluid and allows you to save any time, which is a God-send when each move in a game like this can be critical. Plus, the game reminds you when you haven't saved your game in over a minute. Yes, it really is necessary to save that often.

✅ Overall, I found that this is a great game and the only real flaw was some repetition as the game progressed. However if that is not an issue then you will enjoy Shadow Tactics. Each mission can easily last over an hour and the friendly save system makes it addictive to want to go back and try again in various approaches to each level.

✅Definitely recommended if you like a strategy-type of game or want something different.You are thrown into the game without much backstory, there are many generic elements and overlooked plot points, but even so, they did enough to make you appreciate each and every crew member individually.
They did what they could with simple dialogues from top-down view, it could have been improved with longer and better animated cutscenes between missions to give more depth and charisma to each character but even without it the character development was enjoyable enough.

NOT TRASH.



Zitat:


[90% off on Steam at time of Review]

Shadow Tactics follows the adventures of a group of highly skilled assassins, all working with different motives for the newly formed shogunate in their pursuit against Kage-sama and his rebellion during the Edo period.

I should preface by saying that I never played a game like Commandos before, maybe because of that I found Shadow Tactics to be (still is) extremely challenging during my first playthrough. The difficulty may be unforgiving should you not try to plan your moves way ahead of time, observe your surroundings, evaluate different scenarios, and finally quick save frequently. For the most competitive of us, this game offers plenty of variations to get the mission done and has a good amount of replayability value to secure all the different objectives, badges, and even a speedrun objective for each of the thirteen missions.

You will be playing a total of five different characters that you all need to manage at the same time, each with a different set of skills that must be used in cooperation with one another to help you move forward.

Disappointing at times, the storyline is just decent while quite simplistic. A lot more could have been done with a great period in History like this and the intrigue and backgrounds of each character that is just slightly explored. The graphics, maps and level design were superb and stood out while exploring the different levels and areas. A great plus to the overall atmosphere the game is bringing.

Shadow Tactics doesn’t have much going against it, though at times, the controls did feel clunky, hard to maneuver, and made me do actions I sometimes did not intend to take. The AI was well programmed and never made me once feel like I was stuck. I just needed to think about my actions harder and arm myself with patience.

Finally, while I was streaming the playthrough, I could not help but think that this game would be extremely fun with a co-op mode and still would not take away from the global challenge. Shadow Tactics is a great stealth, real-time strategy game, an initiation for some, and a great successor to a genre that hasn’t seen many releases in a long time.

Yes, I do recommend it. The story is not complex but has a few twists here and there. The main point of the game is all the different ways you have available to accomplish your objectives. It can be very frustrating sometimes when you fail because didn't get the timing right or your plan simply didn't work out, forcing you to reload and retry the same part over and over again. If see yourself experiencing that too many times, it probably means you're not playing as intended, it is still possible but will be way harder than other approaches. For example, the last mission is incredibly difficult and will easily take over an hour to complete with the most obvious way but less than 30 if you do know the tricks.

I finished all levels by constantly experimenting without looking at any guides. A lot of people seem to compare this game with Commando but I never played it so I wouldn't know the similarities. Anyways, I bought it during a big sale in September for only 4 EUR, it was too tempting.

It's a pretty good game. Good story, decent voice acting, and the mechanics are all fairly sound. The only thing I have found that I don't care for is that they introduce all your tools and allow you to become dependent on them, only to arbitrarily start taking them away from you in later missions. They also start introducing time constraints which really doesn't mesh well with the slower, more methodical game play of the earlier missions. I understand that they do this to add tension, but it really just makes me feel like I'm relying on trial and error rather than problem solving to get through the level.

It provides a fair amount of challenge. It'll still provide quite a few hours of entertainment. The characters are entertaining, the story is okay for what it is though the real focus is on the gameplay. The gameplay is pretty awesome, the characters each have their own abilities that make them unique and useful in different scenarios. And nothing is more satisfying than using that shadow vision thing to have all of your characters execute actions as the same time.

If I had to give it any faults, it's that the AI just follows the same paths. There's no unpredictability factor and that really is a big flaw. Sometimes it feels less like the game is challenging and more tedious. Whereas if the AI strayed off their path every now and then or did things that are out of their patrol route then this game could be so much more interesting.

Also the replayability is quite low in my opinion. You only have the set mission maps and it's kind of disappointing.

Still a great game. I've not had many hours on this thing, but I can see myself having many more.

This is a rare game from an almost extinct genre. Clone of Commandos series from the 90s, but instead of world war setting, we got a feudal japan which is surprisingly works very well. The game mechanic is great too, if you played other games in the same genre such as Commandos, Desperados, or Robin Hood, you'll feel right at home. Usually I don't care much about the story, same like in Commandoes, but the story Shadow Tactics is more than decent, I enjoy it, and it has some twists as well.

The game is tough, but very satisfying. People say each mission needs 2-3 hours to complete, but I took 4-6 hours each mission because what I like about the genre is I can took my time, and feel the satisfaction of eliminating all enemies on map, stealthy..

100/200

thats not the score, its how many times i QuickSave/QuickLoad on every mission

Lovley game for everyone who likes tactical gameplay and has an even temper. Awesome level design with many ways to proceed. Every level was challenging and all the protagonists, who act all likeable, are essential for the win. The badge system extends the playtime significantly and stretches the skills to the limit. Since Commandos I had never such joy like with this real-time tactics jewel. Definitively worth to suffer at the beginning and prevail at the end!

Great revival of the real time tactics genre. Each mission offers several different approaches and makes good use of the special abilities of each character. The character abilities can be combined in fun and surprising ways. Each mission forces you to think about more combinations to succeed. Sometimes a situation looks really difficult and unbeatable until you find the right tactic. Which is awesome, after all its all about tactics.
Really enjoyed this ride into old Japan.

Hats off to mimimi games for pulling this off, especially as they nearly went bankrupt for taking the risk to make this game.

Wait... wait... wait to see what the patrol routes are.
Wait... wait... wait for the exact moment the patrols line up. You have a 1 second window. Miss it. Wait.. wait... wait...
Wait... wait... wait... attack. You were spotted. Restart. Wait... wait... wait... Try again. You were spotted by some guy across the map. Restart. Wait... Wait... Wait...

It's not really a strategy game when the game forces you to take a singular path. No, you can't climb walls, there are no hooks here. No, you can't go around, everything but this one path is blocked off. No, you can't use your skills, there are two samurai guarding the door, so just sit down and wait wait wait for that tiny window of opportunity where maybe you can do something and if you miss that then go back to waiting. Maybe you'll get another chance in nine hours.

A beautiful turn-based game based on the Medieval period in Japan where the concept of Samurai and Shogun was prominent. This game will let you experience the same while controlling different people of certain backgrounds - Samurai, Kunoichi, Ninja and all..
The experience was great but the thing I hated the most was, whenever you get spotted, your character moves 75% slower than his/her usual speed which made me lose my patience at times.
Still, its a fun game..

If you miss real time tactics games like Commandos and Desperados, you will love this game.
I like how they made the characters refuse to walk to where you clicked if they are too far away from the destination. I remember accidently making my characters run to the other side of the map by accident. lol

The only complaint I have is how it won't prompt certain actions unless you precisely hover over a certain area. So you spend a lot of time rotating the camera to find the right spot. Quite annoying when it happens.

Each level is a series of puzzles, the kind that are like knots to tease apart. How do I take down this guard without the other two seeing? How do I sneak down this pathway past the patrol? Who needs to be where to make this work? Planning, positioning, and execution (pardon the pun). Failure is a button press to reload and try again; success is extremely satisfying.

Great cultural context, visuals and music. Voice acting is good with native Japanese talent. Great systems. Ultimately though I got bored and had to walk away because its not a strategy game but a puzzle game where you pour over viewcones for ages and try to work out where the blind spots are. It just got tedious for me. But if you are a more patient person than I, who loves that kind of thing, this is just the game for you.

Shadow Blades is the best game ever, period. 0/10.

Shogun Blades is what you get when a well-written story set in Japan meets a German publisher - what else do you remember that involves Japan and Germany? Eh? (World War I?) EH? (WORLD WAR II?).

Shogun Tactics is the opposite of war - other people fight while you eat popcorn sushi and plan the best way to sneak through enemy base camps and Fulton- I mean, use samurai weapons - to eliminate the Russi- JAPANESE SOLDIERS! These Metal Gear Solid V references are really getting out of hand. I don't know why I have to write [show hand with overflowing jokes], but ALRIGHT. >:(

In Shogun Blades, you are no hero. You are FIVE heroes, each with their own abilities, pros, and cons. And in this blueprint simulator, you plot the best course of approach, and press Mouse1 to execute hat-heads.

9/10, fuck the camera controls.

More Ham.

It's very good but kind of frustrating, the warning at the top telling you to quicksave is cool but I feel like it's kind of a weird fix to the problem of like, constant failure. Why not just have built in autosave/checkpoint things? I mean with the game making you quicksave constantly you can unironically completely softlock yourself and it has happened to me multiple times. I also think it's frustrating, most of the time I find myself QSing 5 times in a row as I wait for like, patrols to line up so I can enact my plan because I don't want to have to wait next time, it could've benefitted from a speed up time mechanic.

Again, this is not to take away from the fact that this game is fantastic, it's a gem, just not a completely polished one. 7.5/10.

You actually have to use your brain to play this game! The level designs and NPC placements are very clever and I've really enjoyed playing through each of the different levels (so far).

Literally the only negative I have for this game is that for some reason it doesn't seem possible to do simultaneous top down attacks in shadow mode?? - that's a bit annoying. Also, if you're anything like me, you probably won't be able to play this game any more than a couple of hours at a time because of how mentally fatiguing it is (which isn't really a bad thing!).

Buy this game if you like these kinds of games, this one is really really good.

True 10/10 experience in the niche genre of character based RTS stealth games ;

This game has :
- Likable characters with unique skills for different playstyles,
Emotional if somewhat depressing story,
- Beautiful music and great voice acting (and one of the rare favorite features of mine when the combat barks and interactions change based on story events and characters' mental state)
- Gorgeous locations and complex, yet time period-appropriate level design.
- Intuitive and highly customizable control mechanics.
- High Replay value.
- Somber poetic atmosphere for daayz boi

Cons :
- There is no Shadow Tactics 2.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is an isometric real-time stealth game set in Japan's Edo Period. You take control of five characters as they investigate the rumours of a rising warlord who threatens the stability of a recently unified Japan.

The stealth-centered gameplay rewards creativity and precise timing, and being capable to think several steps ahead is a major boon to your progress. The mechanics are surprisingly simple yet deceptively hard to master. Even though the game often presents you with only one or two options to complete a map, you still have a good amount of freedom to forge your own path towards achieving it.

Storywise, the game is alright. It features a cast of 5 player characters each with their own interesting personalities, an unfortunately very predictable adversary, and a rather mediocre plotline with both a very obvious, and an unexpectedly dramatic twist.

I strongly believe the graphics of this game to be its second-worst feature. The game was released in 2016, but the visuals reminded me of the in 2002 released game called Robin Hood: The Legend of Sherwood. It feels very dated for me, with uninspiring character models and sometimes confusing see-through perspectives for obscured areas, as textures just blend together into an unidentifiable mix. It is by no means bad, but i believe it to be insufficient for a game made in 2016.

Audio is alright. The music is very good, the gunshots are satisfying to listen to, and character banter is voiced with both passion and skill. The remaining audio i would describe as mediocre-at-best.

Shadow Tactics' worst feature is its controls. The capability of queueing movement actions at the very least would have prevented many of my frustrations, but some controls straight up do not work even though the UI does show responsiveness in their usage. Using Shadow Moves is rather confusing at times, as the game keeps little consistency with overhead actions during Shadow Move. Quickloads and Quicksaves are a mandatory part of the game, rather than a luxury.

Verdict: 8.5/10
The game provides a challenge that could easily dissuade many people from playing it, but if you can get past the necessity to set up a scenario 20 times with minute changes in order to achieve small amounts of progress, and enjoy isometric games, then you'll be able to enjoy Shadow Tactics.

There is a mission and the rest is up to you. There is pretty little directions, it feels free.I loved the special abilities of the characters. There are 5 different characters you can use and they are all unique.I haven't finished the story yet, but it didn't really interest me.The main thing in this game is not the story, it is gameplay.I also liked it because it reminded me of Commandos I played in my childhood.

This is a brilliant game, I find it hard to find any fault with it (but I will try at the end). The gameplay, graphics, audio, characters/skills, story are all top notch. The missions are appealing and can be completed in a variety of ways. There is also a lot of achievements/badges for each mission which can improve replayability (e.g. kill no one, speed runs, various mission specific goals and so on). I found the final mission seriously challenging which was great.

The only negative I found was one mission had a bit of verticallity on the map at the start (cliffs) which messed the camera around a bit and was annoying at first. It didn't last long but that was it, the only thing on the whole game I could think of.

If the style of game appeals to you then you really can't go wrong with this.

Cool and fun stealth game. Never played RTS / stealth genre before and surprisingly love it!

++ Great replayability. You can try to kill every guard. You can also do a speed run style. Or Be a noob (like me) and spend several hours on one level XD.
++ Great story! Twisted with loyalty, betrayal, love and hatred. What else do you expect?
+ Good balance between actions and puzzles. Sometimes you need to think hard how to kill a group of guards all together smoothly, sometimes you just do it quickly and hide it away before somebody discovers.
- Music could be improved. Nothing spectacular.
- Controller is harder than keyboard especially if your goal is speed run, because you can't control them simultaneously.

If you into top down fast paced tactical games like Commandos, Desperados, I can even put Fallout:Tactics in this group, then this game is for you! Enjoy the shogun pressure to hit those perfect timings to win, your multitask will be put at test.

Positives:


  • Beautiful graphics, unity engine, runs smooth with ease, amazing graphics and textures
  • 13 amazingly done maps, I mean graphically they are amazing, full with many details but at the same time not to many things
  • 5 different characters to play with, even thou some of them have similar skills they are unique, very well done simple yet complex moves are available
  • Story isn`t something new, but it the usual good recipe set in the time of the samurai, Japan. For honor!
  • Story telling and voice acting is lovely, you could feel how much effort they put in to make it good
  • Some awesome game mechanics, like footprints or executions or the best part the hard multitasking
  • Difficulty really sets the difference where you are punished were before you could escape :D
  • Mission challenges make them so much more fun to play
  • Replayability, as you can finish the missions in at least two ways, plus if you hunting the challenges then you have to replay it
  • Speedruns!
  • You can kill the devs, and they deserve it!
  • Great camera movement, you almost have full freedom
  • Extremely responsive commands, actions, movement
  • Steam achievements
  • Steam trading cards


Negatives


  • After you have finished the game it`ll feel short, leaving you to want more but there is no more....
  • Making me watch the sad part without the possibility to skip.... at least I can murder you bastards!


VERDICT 9/10

RECOMMENDED!



I would suggest picking this one up it is amazing, you`ll have to ponder on how to complete some situations but once you get the hang of the mechanics you really wanna abuse them and do those perfect combo takedowns.

Meh. Just not for me, I kept getting spotted by guys who shouldn't have been able to see me, and just don't have the patience for this, its more of a puzzle game than a stealth game honestly, bunch of trial and error in order to figure out what works and what doesn't instead of fluid gameplay.

Un juego muy entretenido y perfectamente ambientado. Los personajes está bien desarrollados y son complejos e interesantes. La jugabilidad es muy buena y fluida. Los gráficos y la música son buenos también. Lo recomiendo para cualquier fan de la trilogía de Commandos, a precio completo o en descuento.
Dentro de los 13 niveles de la campaña, el juego tiene desafíos difíciles y entretenidos, que llevan al jugador a repensar cómo jugar cada nivel. Los niveles se pueden volver a jugar varias veces para tratar de desbloquear estos logros, o ganarlos en poco tiempo.

This is an absolute gem. I'm not even a hardcore RTS fan, but I've enjoyed every minute of it. A must play for anyone who used to enjoy Desperados and Commandos games.

Maybe it's the solid tactical stealth gameplay, the beautifully crafted levels, the medieval Japanese story, flawless voice acting for both Japanese and English, spamming quicksave/load to try out different strategies, or maybe it's just the funny dialogues between the characters during missions - Shadow Tactics definitely has its charm to keep you captivated till the end.

This game had always been in my wishlist, and the deep discount made this an insta-buy. If you're new to the genre, this is a good entry point. It's accessible enough thanks to autosaving, highlighted interactibles, etc. Don't rush through the missions and enjoy every level. It's much less stressful (and much less RNG-based) than the X-COM games.

If like me, you started out with the Commandos series, you'll find the game both challenging and rewarding. There are plenty of ways to achieve goals, what with Shadow mode and skill combos. The badges can keep you coming back for more, too. If I had a complaint, it's that I wanted more levels. The graphics and mechanics are top notch. The sound and music are not too bad, but not great either.

I finished it in about 25 hours after taking my sweet time, and I'll probably replay this a few months from now. The story, dialogue, and anachronisms leave a lot to be desired, but only most hardcore of weebs will notice them. Definitely grab this and Desperados 3 if they're on sale!

I got the game because I had noticed very positive public attitude towards it since release, and it recently came on sale. I originally wasn't set on playing it. But ever since I got it, I haven't stopped.
Long have I been looking for a game that celebrates the culture of Japan without an anime art style, and the usual subsequent lightness in character behavior (of course not all anime are kawaii). The environments are beautiful and varied. The levels are incredibly detailed and feel satisfyingly labyrinthian. The atmospheric effects really give a distinct feel according to weather and time of day. The black outline around characters, reminiscent of borderlands style, gives a slight comic book feel which is exciting, but not too much as to turn cartoonish. I would describe the overall feel of graphics as serious and respectful to japanese culture, but also rather artistic so as to distinguish from raw realism.
The thing I like most is the gameplay. I have played Desperados 1-2 and Helldorado and I like the real time tactics genre quite a bit. But Shadow Tactics has a much better flow and satisfying efficiency, to the point that it got me wanting to replay Helldorado to understand why it didn't get me hooked. The character actions are memorable and efficient (I only get mad that when you shoot a samurai, he sees you and attacks you before you slice him) and the animations really flow.
In terms of story, we have no story. Well we do but I wanted to use the line. Also the story is not very strong, the characters are introduced without much background, and the rest pretty much feel like a typical storyline to justify the gameplay. But I don't mind. The gameplay is so good that I can live with getting my story needs satisfied from walking simulators and adventure point-and-clicks.
Also badges. What perfectionist doesn't love badges?

10/10 recommended!

Real Time Tactic fans delight! I am a seasoned veteran of the Commandos series, and this game is better in every way. It boasts a grasping story, good 3D models, a fantastic soundtrack, professional voice acting in both Japanese (recommended) and English, excellent localization, easy to perform actions, and a friendly learning curve even to those new to the genre. The in-game achievements are challenging and actually fun to get, adding tons of replayability, to give you 100+ hours of fun!

Before I start off this review, I do want to say I might be a bit biased, because of my love for Japan. But even so, that aside, this is actually a really great game!

Shadow Tactics relies mostly on stealth, instead of brute force (which I personally prefer). Set in the Edo period, you control 5 heroes (and a raccoon) in service of the shogun, trying to keep the peace and going after those who disturb it. What I loved about the game, is the developing story throughout the missions, as well as character development. I don’t like killing enemies just for the sake of killing them, but throughout the story I got angered about the injustices I saw and that gave me the motivation for a little payback at times. I was really invested in all of it.

Another enjoyable feature is that there are different ways of completing missions. Each of the 5 heroes has their own unique abilities, strengths and weaknesses. Will you for stealth, force or just deceive your enemies to reach your goal? Maybe you do all of it?

I would personally recommend that you play this game with the Japanese voices, instead of the English, as the latter all sound like Patrick Stewart to me (even the women, lol). I mean, you are in Japan, so it only makes sense if your characters also speak Japanese (and this besides the fact, that the Japanese voices are just really good and a perfect fit for each character).

Funny thing, I was convinced this game was made by a Japanese video game company at first, so imagine how surprised I was when I discovered Mimimi Games is actually a German company. They did such a good job in giving it an authentic Japanese feeling, they had me fooled!

Really, I have nothing but positive things to say about this game! :-)

One of the best games I've played in recent times and my first experience with the 'Stealth RTS' genre :D

Never got to play Commandos games, but after seeing reviews of Desperadoes III, I searched a little more about the developer and found that they released this gem back in 2016 and currently has close to 13,000 Overwhelmingly positive reviews on Steam.

Got it at deep discount and finished the campaign in 38 hours! And there was not even 1 single dull moment! Will be purchasing Desperados III after clearing some of my backlogs, but holy sheeit you guys should play this game even if you're not a fan of strategy games! (I am not).

Would have rated 10/10 if there was a little more variety in the level designs and locations, but this is a solid 9/10.

A very enjoyable stealth/strategy game, with plenty of options to repeat levels by taking different routes/using different tactics. Even when you might be prodded towards taking certain options you still feel like you've got lots of choice over what to do. The playable characters have a good mixture of skills and none of them are overpowered. (Although Aiko's ability to wear a disguise and kill most enemy types with her hairpin is hilarious and often my preferred means of taking out guards).

The story itself is very motivating with good plot twists, as well as good voice-acting. Visual design is relatively simple but still very pleasant.

This is a really fun and enjoyable stealth game with RTS aspects thrown into it which I wasn't expecting to blend very well but was proved wrong. There are many ways you can tackle each mission with each playthrough being different than the previous so the replayability is top tier. The game is longer than most making the journey all the more better. The story can be perceived as hit or miss depending on how you look at it but the gameplay and options of how to finish a mission make up for it greatly. One of the best stealth games on the market.

DO NOT PASS THIS GAME UP ESPECIALLY ON SALE.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is by far the best Real Time Tactics Stealth game, a very polished game, this is worth the nostalgia for those who have played Commandos series and Battle Realms.

It has amazing cast of voice acting even in Japanese, I played the entire game on Japanese Dub, with English Sub.

Takes about 2-4 hours on certain mission.

Gameplay:



Shadow Tactics plays exactly like Commandos, with a few modern mechanics.

The main game mechanic is hiding from the enemy's vision, and stab them at them back,

you can distract them in multiple ways, you can disrupt their vision, disguise, and lure them if the enemy is close to each other, and you can drop on your enemy.

Level Design:



Each mission plays differently from each other, based on lighting, weather and environment, there are multiple ways of killing and luring your enemies.

Eg. objects, animals, and props can be used to kill your enemies, like using Oxen to kick, triggering the crane to drop objects, and setting up barrels.

in snow maps, your footsteps will lure the enemy to your position.

Performance:



On my specs, this game still requires a medium range PC to run okay. Is best to play on high settings to see the beautiful details and environments.

Minor issues:



The game sometimes froze during gameplay.

Cons:



• There is no looting system, would be kinda cool if there's a looting system, it be very useful for getting more health bandages, ammunition, and maybe to get disguise.
• There's no indoor/interior levels, would love to see this feature in Shadow Tactics sequel, like Desperados 3 :)
• A pause button to set up, like Desperados 3.

Overall:



Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a fantastic game, that brings back so much memories of Commandos, Battle Realm, WC3, and Command & Conquer. The gameplay mechanics is amazing, including the level design, that will take you about 2-4 hours per-levels.

There are minor issues and a few things that are lacking. Shadow Tactics is really worth the game :)

Yes, I like this game and yes it is well worth playing BUT you need to go into it understanding you will be fighting the UI as much as the enemies. If you can get past the 3 big cons it is a very fun game but I recommend getting on sale because the cons can be rage inducing.

Pros: too many to list. Predictable but decent story, good music, stealth, multiple characters with variable powers and so on. I got the game on sale but it would be worth full price if not for the cons below.

Cons:
1) This is 2020. Why are we still shackled to 3/4 isometric view that has the camera severely restricted? I'll echo other reviews and say there were so many times the unnecessarily restricted camera caused me to lose 5 minutes of play. It adds up when this happens 10 times per play session. It breaks immersion, turns fun to frustration, and simply isn't needed.

Due to the camera auto-adjusting its height, there are parts of the map impossible to see clearly. Not a game breaker, but disappointing since, once again, this is a crappy, pointless limitation reminiscent of games from the 90s.

2) Planning and carefully orchestrating coordinated attacks or movement are key to this game and work very well until your character gets stuck on a part of the environment that isn't visually obvious. My shinobi can climb, jump, run, and slay foes by the thousands unless there is a 2 millimeter high obstruction in which case he will stand in the open and get killed. Leap from a building onto a foe in a marvelous flying death strike, check. Step over a shovel lying on the ground, nope! (Even though you just walked through a small pond and head high bushes to get this far.)

3) As a professional software developer, this one drives me crazy. Saved games can be deleted but not quick saves. By itself, this is amateurish but not a big deal. Save games can't be named so you have to rely on the time but the time listed on the save isn't static. Times for saves show the elapsed time since you saved,, i.e. 1m 20s. This a) can throw you off when you're looking for a save but times on it have changed since more time has elapsed. and b) this trains you to look for the lowest number on the times to get your most recent save.

UNTIL at some arbitrary point the times switch from elapsed time to date and time in which case the highest
number now indicates the most recent save. And BOTH of these types of time displays can be present when you go to load a game?!?! This is confusing and requires a little mental math when you need to load. And in this game you need to reload A LOT. How that got through UA testing I don't have a clue.

I'm a huge fan of stealth no matter what genre I play. However, the genre Shadow Tactics falls under isn't exactly one I look for. But this truly was such a fantastic and exciting experience. Well worth the money, a game really made with huge amounts of love and passion.

Playtime: 26 hours [completed campaign in that time, no achievement hunting and just playing at a fun but still stealthy pace]

Pros:
- Beautiful Art Style (Beautiful Shaders, Particle Effects & Textures)
- Great Voice Acting
- Beautiful Music
- Awesome interesting characters with unique backgrounds and abilities (both passive and active)!
- Super engaging levels with a variety of approaches. Loved the level design
- Honestly the gameplay overall was just so unique and fun, with a variety of interesting objectives!

Cons:
(I'm being super critical here because I believe nothing on this floating rock, that we also refer to as Earth, is perfect :^)
- Because the game is top-down, sometimes the camera would be a little annoying to control or unintuitive. Mainly when there are different levels (low-ground, mid-ground, high-ground) that you have to look over and around.

Other than that, the game was a complete joy to play. I will definitely be getting Mimimi's games. Great product. 10/10

To give you context: I am more of a FPS guy, not really into RTS games. However, I had alot of fun playing this game.
You have 9 missions, but if you're new to the genre or to this game, each mission can take you 1.5 hours. They get more difficult, but even more satisfying to pull off. When you learn of a strategy you can use to take down three people without sounding an alarm, and even execute it beautifully, you will never get a feeling like that.

Honestly? Thanks to this, I am looking forward to more RTS stealth games like these, especially the upcoming Desperados III.

Absolutely phenomenal game. I've never played a game that put in so much attention to detail when it comes to stealth, strategy, and tactics. After putting in hours of playtime mastering each character, you find yourself wanting to play the game all over again once you beat it. I had serious withdrawals once I realized there were no more levels left to play.

Excellent, challenging stealth tactics game. The mechanics are strong enough to allow for non-lethal (mostly) play and the varying difficulty levels, secondary objectives, and challenge badges grant a solid amount of replay value for this title. Each of the 5 shinobi has their own strengths and weaknesses, which you'll need to figure out in order to succeed.

Really enjoyed peeling back layer after layer of carefully crafted clockwork levels of this.

The heroes are sufficiently varied in their abilities, and I didn't feel that I was forced to use certain ones too much — a solution I came up with felt like my own solution. The game made me think hard how to approach each challenge, patiently looking for small space-time gaps of enemy attention spans, encouraging to take alternate routes to clear out the “main” path from the back or flank. The story is simple but engaging enough to make the heroes likeable and memorable.

Good successor of the Commandos formula, well done.

Best game in the modern era spiritually success'ing the niche real time strategy genre. The art, story, characters, gameplay, and the F5 everything all fit in together to bring out a pleasurable experience after a long long time since the likes of Commandos.

This game is perfect for what it brings. It is a tactical masterpiece with beauty on every level.
???? Gorgeous level design
???? Diversity in tactical possibilities
???? Challenges for every playing style (easy for casual players to punishingly hard for hard-core completionists)
???? Atmospheric scenery and music
???? Interesting characters with surprising depth
???? A very satisfying ending (at least for me)
Even if you only find one of these things appealing, the game is for you. It is worth every penny.

I so want to recommend this game, but the controls just make it impossible for me.
It's so hard getting the dudes to do what you want. You click on a guard to take down, or rather try to click him. But no, there is a wall close so can't target the guard, turn the camera around trying to find a spot that you can actually target the guard. To late you are spotted now, reload and try again.

The game is kinda good, but it just gets frustrating fast, killing the enjoyment.

Ninja: Ghost Recon


Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun has a HIGH learning curve — at least for me it did. Stealth games are some of my favorites. However, this largely being an RTS, had me a little out of my element. I'm more used to your actions — or actions lack thereof — having definite repercussions and having more time to plan things out. In tactical/strategic games — at the very least — some sort of real-time with pause. (I'll get back to that later.) I found it rather difficult to discern when I should be telling my characters to crouch walk or sprint to succeed. When, how and even what would trigger a response from the AI.

Shadows is an isometric game wherein any given mission you're controlling, or rather telling up to five people what to do. If you're the type of person that loves experimenting with AI through quick-saves and quick-loads. This is the game for you. You'll make lots of mistakes. This is a difficult game even with save scumming. And, I'm aware of the slight controversy around 'save-scumming but it's quite welcome here. Of course, where I fall on the spectrum is... play how you want. How much fun you get or take away from yourself is your decision.

Tools of the trade


Tons of information is conveyed visually. For lack of a better comparison, it's very much like Mark of the Ninja. Vision cones can be displayed by right clicking on an enemy. This will then tell you where an enemy would effectively, 'immediately' see you (depending on difficulty level) and where their vision begins to fail, where small, slow movements would go unnoticed. The distance sound will travel will be displayed by a blue circle before you take action. You can even place markers that will provide line-of-sight lines and cones. Helpful when trying to make a decision to where next to move.

Shadow Mode


Without this, I'd have given up.

Shadow mode allows you to queue actions to be triggered at your volition. Either at the same time or in a specific order using hotkeys. That being said, as there is no ability to pause the action for calculated actions. Even when using shadow mode, people never stop patrolling. You're to set up actions and then wait at the opportune time to exact your plan. Then typically, you've only moments to quickly tell someone to pick up the body from an incoming patrol. It makes the game feel very 'loose' and slightly erratic. But, in a way that feels intentional.

ROYGBIV!


Everyone has their own color! They've also their own passive and active abilities. The colors help identify them when hidden as well as who is selected by the UI.
  • Hayato (Blue) — The most traditional archetype. Can easily carry bodies, has a throwable shuriken that needs to be recovered. Can easily traverse water or climb buildings.
  • Yuki (Yellow)— She can set traps, lure with a flute and traverse the same things that Hayato can, but has trouble moving bodies quickly.
  • Mugen (Red) — A samurai. Not very stealthy, But strong and has a lot of health.
  • Aiko (Purple)— She can throw dust to lower enemy vision and wear disguises, this also allows her to distract low ranking enemies and civilians through small talk. Letting the rest of your party sneak past.
  • Takuma (Green)— “The End” — An old man sniper. Can't swim, can't move bodies. But he has a pet raccoon you can use to lure people around.


Upon learning the game better, each mission sets up a new setting and mechanic. Making it feel fresh, yet familiar as well as stay challenging. “Straw hats” — an enemy type — that can't be lured away from their posts, samurai that can't be taken down without extensive teamwork or a very audacious Mugen. Then it introduces how darkness affects vision cones and subsequently how torches alter even that. On top of that, just when you think you've it got it handled, it'll throw another curve-ball at you!

Each map is meticulously hand-crafted, this of course is a little sad for those who would like to see more levels beyond the campaign. But this level of focus in development makes the campaign maps much more robust. — There were times where I spent upwards of 45 minutes through trials and tribulations of seeking to eliminate a guard. A guard that was being watched by another guard, who was being watched by 3 more that were all being watched by a samurai on patrol. But, when I triggered my queued shadow mode actions and quickly switched between the characters to give an additional 3 commands to come out unscathed and undetected. It was one of the most single satisfying moments of achievement I've had in a game.

Now, I will say because the maps are so hand-crafted, it doesn't lend itself to high amounts of re-playability unless you're the type of person that enjoys doing side objectives or completing arbitrary things for medals. Such as using something in the environment or doing something oddly specific.

THE GIST:
If you like stealth, if you enjoy strategy and tactics — Why are you still reading this?


Zitat:
If you've read this far, consider following my curation — Station Argus


This part makes no sense, is unnecessary and mostly irrelevant.
Ninjas were a surreptitious clandestine operative, the intention of the profession was such to provide tactic information, remove troublesome figures or illicit a conspiracy against foes without any official connection to a theoretical governing body. While a pirate is more of an old time-y entrepreneur with capricious scruples in the best of times, although modern day pirates are also a thing.

So, does that answer the age old question? I propose it should have never been asked.

This game is thoroughly challenging. I always find myself torn between taking everybody out and just finishing the mission quickly. And boy the missions are not easy even on normal. Micro is intense at times and I was never very good with RTS so there's a love-hate relationship there, but all in all probably among the best games ever. Story, dialogue, map and level design, and they even have Japanese audio. Well done!

Could you please do yourself a favor? PLAY Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. Doesn't matter if you're not a fan of RTT games 'cause it never ever demands or challenges you when hasn't made you ready for in advance and the game does this with a great subtlety. Go and lost in a bloody well-crafted world and enjoy accompanying its lovely, distinctive characters.

Great stealth game and true successor of the Commandos series. The art and the implementation of the samurai culture is well done and gives unique skills to your five characters. There are thirteen missions that can be played in three levels of difficulty and each mission has nine badges to earn. If you enjoy stealths games then this is the right game for you.

The game uses the same formula Commandos games were built upon and it really fits this Edo Japan era stealth game where you get to control 5 different characters, each with his own set of skills. It has the exact same feeling as Commandos games had, some of the mechanics were changed, there's no inventory management/looting systems, but some of the things were improved on as well, environment is fully 3D which means you can move camera around in 360 degrees instead of just 4 preset viewpoints. The game features 13 different levels which vary in mechanics and look wise. Some levels are played during the day, others during the night, in some of them the snow is falling so you have to look out for your steps as they attract unwanted attention. Overall a great experience, can't wait for more games from these guys, Desperados 3 is going to next.

Of course great if you liked Commandos and enjoy waiting to set up the perfect trap where you can take out 3 or 4 enemies ( that are looking at each other ) so fast that no alarm is raised. That's where this game shines: when you use shadow mode to coordinate multiple characters to strike at once.

My computer is a bit slow, and the action can be a little janky, but lowered graphic settings and things are now much smoother
