The main Samurai, Mugan, can take out 3 enemies at once, and carry 2 bodies, but cannot climb vines or swim. Each specialist has their own abilities and skills. Missions vary from killing an specific enemy, stealing plans, rescuing villagers or retrieving an enemy. In Shadow Tactics you control 5 specialists during the Edo period In Japan against war waging rebels. Shadow Tactics plays pretty much the same and it was a joy to see this type of game make a return, and I was excited to survey the missions, and figure out the best plan of attack.Ĭommandos (Below) with Shadow Tactics (Above) are both very similar games
#Shadow tactics ps4 review Pc
Commandos was a PC game released in 1998 set in WW2 where you control several commandos to complete an objective from a top down view. “Made with Unity” it told me, and I initially thought of every bad shovelware game ever made for the Wii and how many poorly made games have been made with Unity, but as soon as the game started I was happy to see a familiar screen. However within the first few seconds of the loading screen I got skeptical. It’s good to see tactical stealth games that require stealth, and not just ‘stealth but only if you feel it’ games. I thought these types of games died in the early 2000s and we’d all moved to first / third person stealth games like Dishonored and Hitman, but apparently they’re still wanted, and I’m all for this. It’s a stealth game where you control several specialists with distinct skills to complete an objective, all taken from a top down isometric point of view.
Definitely recommended if you like a strategy-type of game or want something different.Shadows Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a type of game I haven’t seen for a long time. Each mission can easily last over an hour and the friendly save system makes it addictive to want to go back and try again in various approaches to each level. However if that is not an issue then you will enjoy Shadow Tactics. Overall, I found that this is a great game and the only real flaw was some repetition as the game progressed. Yes, it really is necessary to save that often. Plus, the game reminds you when you haven't saved your game in over a minute. One of the best facets of the game is the save system that is very fluid and allows you to save any time, which is a God-send when each move in a game like this can be critical. The normal difficulty setting is quite challenging and I probably would recommend the easy setting to get used to the controls if you get frustrated easily. It can be very challenging, but there are varying difficulty levels that can help a lot too.
The gameplay is where a game like this really shines. There is some interesting character development, though. There is a loose story in the game that is vaguely interesting, but you don't need to know it to enjoy the game as the focus is on the gameplay. There can be a lot going on in the screen sometimes and this gets tricky but that's more down to the nature of the game rather than any flaws in graphics. The graphics aren't exactly pushing the PS4 to its limits, but they are still easy on the eyes. Fortunately the game is very concise and helpful when introducing new characters and concepts with quick tutorials. Shadow Mode allows you to plan a move in advance, so that can help massively. The learning curve here also comes from controls that can be fiddly at first because almost every button on the controller is needed, and commanding your team quickly can be challenging but achievable. The downside of this also is that most missions will not have all five characters to choose from, limiting your choice a little, although this also works out for a smoother experience because despite their distinctiveness, some characters' skills do overlap. There are a variety of characters with differing skills and equipment that can allow you to navigate through missions in a number of ways to suit your own style, although if your style is not stealth, then you are playing the wrong game. I say esoteric for a reason, because this will certainly not be everyone's cup of tea. I think the PS4 is missing more esoteric titles like this.
