Like the Commandos games, the player controls a bunch of player characters that would not do anything on their own until the player gives them instructions. Veteran followers of story-telling can already predict the plot twist that would happen based on the introduction of characters alone. Its story is certainly much better than those in the Commandos games, but it is merely decent at best. The player should not really expect very complex story-telling here. The player characters are agents of the Shogun against this conspiracy, by choice, honour, coin or simply circumstance.

With that out of the way, the story is about rooting out a conspiracy against the Shogunate, specifically one that would spark another war for the heart of Japan. In other words, this game should not be praised for trying to be believable in terms of historical references. The Shogun lacks a name, most characters are fictitious, the fashion sense of the Japanese people is uncannily gaudy and their spoken language is too post-modern, e.g. It would not take long for a history-observant person to realize that the game’s setting is really loosely based on the Edo Period. Gunpowder weapons were still around, alongside older weapons like swords and spears. The first scenario is about the “last battle of the war”, which would end in victory for the Shogun (who is presumably a Tokugawa). The game is presumably set in a time just after the end of Sengoku Jidai, the era in which feudal Japan was plunged into total war. Skipping over precarious-looking rocks is definitely a gratuitous thing to do in a tutorial segment. It so happens that Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is one such game. Incidentally, such a formula is readily applicable to just about any setting where the enemy has armies of mooks and the player characters are highly skilled operatives. Rather, the player would be making use of their furtiveness and unique skills to systematicapiclly remove enemies. It was about war, but it was also a game where the player characters are heavily outnumbered and outgunned – if they so choose to fight their enemies head-on. The characters develop their own dynamic and each member will have to face their own personal demons.By Gelugon_baat | Review Date: December 20, 2019Ĭommandos was a peculiar game for its time. Yet over the course of many missions, trust is won and friendships are made. Working together as a team seems impossible at first. The group is composed of very different personalities. Set traps, poison your opponents or completely avoid enemy contact. Choose your approach when infiltrating mighty castles, snowy mountain monasteries or hidden forest camps. Take control of a team of deadly specialists and sneak in the shadows between dozens of enemies. Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period.

I'm damn impressed, as someone who played Commandos I really enjoyed the gameplay and this game is a welcome addition to our selection!Īfter the played the demo I'm really excited to pick up and play the full game, I think this will be a good one to livestream. It started off well above 100FPS, but when you get into the gameplay it drops down to around 90FPS. Performance wise on max settings with my 980ti it has been giving acceptable framerates. Bonus points for not annoying me with having to screw around with that.

It displays on my primary monitor and in the correct resolution too. To my delight, the game works perfectly with my two monitors. The game will release tomorrow, so it's a good time to see if it's your thing or not. Note: The Linux demo is currently Steam-only.
