The tactical game with stealth elements Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a cooperative endeavor of Daedalic Entertainment and Mimimi Productions. The game is a special take on the genre: it takes place during the Edo-Era of Japan in 1615. Within a playtime of roughly 25 hours, 5 characters will face challenging missions, each protagonist with their own special field of expertise.
Only if you know the positive and negative qualities of your characters and play tactically and with finesse, will you master the challenges ahead.
This exceptional tactical stealth game gives new life to what was a tiring genre. [Nov 2017, p.80]
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a demanding and fun title with an excellent setting.
Let's face it, 'Commandos' will never return but Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun its a worthy successor to the genre of stealth and infiltration strategy. We abandoned the green berets of World War II to focus on five feudal Japan heroes who will cooperate to dethrone the new Shogun through many beautiful scenarios, concentration skills and large doses of patience.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a masterfully crafted hardcore stealth title that offers a fun, challenging, and fair experience set in the thick of feudal Japan. Despite some issues, the game's excellent gameplay, superb art and music, and strong writing all help to make Shadow Tactics one of the leading stealth titles of this generation.
Despite its minor camera and screen tearing issues though, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is great for those looking for a challenge. Its mix of stealth, strategy and action is a highly enjoyable one, and with its wealth of missions and bonus objectives there’s plenty to go at.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun brings a particularly brutal challenge, but at no point does it ever feel unfair.
