Release Date: December 6, 2016
A tactical real-time strategy game inspired by the Commandos series. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is set in Japan in 1615. The new shogun decided to enforce peace in the entire country which requires him to silently eliminate all the opposition that may dream of rebelling against him. To achieve this, he asks a group of five specialists who deal in murder, sabotage, and espionage.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a tactical real-time strategy for PC, PS4 and XONE, inspired by the first three installments of the Commandos series. It was developed by Mimimi Productions, the creators of The Last Tinker: City of Colors, among other titles, and published by Daedalic Entertainment.
The game takes us to Japan in 1615, which is the early Edo period. The new shogun decides to enforce peace in the entire country which forces him to eliminate all opponents who dream of rebellion. To do so, he turns to five specialists of killing, sabotage, and espionage. This is the team that the player controls in the campaign that consist of thirteen extensive missions.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for PC, PS4 and XONE is a tactical strategy game in which we command a small unit of agents who perform risky tasks in enemy territory which is being constantly patrolled. While playing, the action is presented from a camera placed high above the characters’ heads. In most missions, we are greatly outnumbered so we have to take a stealthy approach. Avoiding detection is made easier by the user interface that shows guards’ field of view.
The party consists of a ninja named Hayato (who prefers stealthy attacks), a samurai called Mugen that specializes in open confrontations and can engage several enemies simultaneously, a geisha by the name of Aiko, a true mistress of camouflage and distraction, Yuki the hunter (he can set traps), and an elderly sniper known as Yuki.
The available maps were designed to allow to perform a mission in various ways. To succeed, we have to cunningly use the unique abilities of every character and devise plans that put emphasis on party cooperation.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun review – commandos gone samurai
18 years – this much time has passed since the release of the first Commandos. Today, in Shadow Tactics, its spirit returns along with the magic of isometric tactical stealth games – they were difficult, a bit rough around the edges, but also fun to play.

PlayStation 4PlayStation Universe: 9 / 10 by Garri Bagdasarov
One of the most satisfying and fulfilling games i've played this year. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a great game that makes you think three steps ahead. I was hooked from the very first kill to the very last.
Push Square: 9 / 10 by Ken Talbot
A welcome return to a type of stealth-strategy that hasn't been seen on PlayStation for many a moon. The period setting forms a great backdrop for the action, missions are steeped in atmosphere, and the central characters are just plain cool. Lack of co-op is a missed opportunity, but the addictive challenge badges will keep you coming back for more. Shadow Tactics: Blade of the Shogun is a serious tactical treat..
Windows Central: 4 / 5 by Brendan Lowry
While Shadow Tactics offers a decent gameplay length, the lack of replayability makes the pricing a little questionable, but over all, if you're a fan of the genre, you will find it to be a worthwhile investment.
