Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Review (utusgem)
In this game the player must think before every step to find the most effective way to solve the given problem with a given personnel. This makes this game very demanding and very funny. When I find a solution to the given problem, I feel very happy and gratified, because I spend energy and time. There are many ways for the solution, but each way has its own mechanism that may be difficult depending on my personnel. So, I have to be very prudent.
It is like an AC game with full stealth and not a bit of war or combat. I like AC games a lot and strategy games much more. This is a good combination of both.
For people who thinks the controls may be a disadvantage: be relax and let mimigames teach you how to play. Then, you will see that it is not like the old Commandos or Desperados games. Before ST, I tried to play these two and I felt like an idiot. I thought that it was because of the genre, however it was not the case, it was because of the old controllers. mimimigames did an amazing job on the controllers in this game, it is a peace of cake after you learn once.
Great game, I still way to go till the end, I will definitely enjoy every part of it.
