Plain and simple.Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period. It might not be very hard, gameplay-wise (you might want to try Hardcore mode too), but it will keep you up at night for a while and dreaming about possible solutions when your heroes seem to be in trouble.Ĭonsidering the DLC was launched on December 6, 2021, it is definitely the best tactics game of 2021 and probably of 2022 too. Really, you can’t imagine the amount of detail that goes in each of the maps and it can’t be captured in the images from this review. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a beautiful game and its latest DLC, Aiko’s Choice is not different. Quicksave and quickload are your best friends.Try to cause unfortunate accidents as dropping a boulder on top of the enemy samurai ( Mugen can throw boulders!).Sometimes you need to use Shadow mode and link up multiple characters so they can so simultaneous kills.If the viewpoint of a civilian is white, then you have nothing to fear.You can extinguish light sources and the first enemy to notice it will try to turn the light back on (and be lured into your trap).On maps with snow you can lure enemies using your footsteps (except Aiko when in a disguise).Try not to waste ammo for the matchlock pistols, use firearms only when you’re cornered and in an impossible situation.Bushes, buildings, wells, baskets, water can all be used as a permanent hiding place.

Mugen is a heavily-armored samurai who is a master swordsman and can kill solo enemy samurai as well as groups of normal enemies. You need to pick up the trap if you want to place it again someplace else. Yuki can kill using her dagger (Rat’s Tooth) or trap and distract enemies with her flute flute works like a charm when teamed up with the trap, place the trap somwhere and use the flute to lure the enemy toward the trap.
