One of my favourite parts of Shadow Tactics is the approach to level design. Mugen the Samurai has a powerful, circular death spin capable of eviscerating multiple goons at once, and octogenarian sniper Takuma can pick off targets from across the map (or send out his adorably enthralling Tanuki to give them something cute to look at before he wastes them). The three ninjas Hayato, Yuki and Aiko can throw a mid-range shuriken, lay a trap and lure a guard into it or disguise themselves as a geisha and seduce a group of enemies respectively. It’s actually a lot of fun to analyse a situation and decide how best to execute the multitude of enemies standing between you and your objective. The different abilities of each character and the changing lineups within the levels mean that you have to play each mission differently, rather than rely on a comfortable favourite. Each of the 13 missions gives you a varied combination of the five main characters and tasks you with utilising their unique skills to eliminate targets, steal important documents and rescue hostages in distress. The simple but surprisingly well-written campaign takes you all across the country, trying to thwart a plot to overthrow the unstable union of the warring regions. In a world populated by shoguns, samurai and ninjas, you play as a rag-tag team of companions performing wet work for the benevolent ruler of the land.

However, Takuma counts on his sniper rifle and takes care of the enemies from a distance. Aiko is a master of camouflage when she distracts enemies as a Geisha, and the street child Yuki places traps and decoys the enemies towards their deadly fate. The Samurai Mugen is a bit more violent and can defeat more fiends at one time, but therefore, he’s forfeiting flexibility. ![]() ![]() One part of this team is Hayato, an agile ninja, who clears the way through his enemies silently with a sword and shuriken. In his battle against rebellion he recruits five specialists with extraordinary skills for assassination, sabotage and espionage. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is set in the year 1615, in which a new Shogun rises to power in Japan and strives to bring peace to the realm.
