Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun Reviews
Shadow Tactics is a unique exploration of the stealth genre with a great amount of polish, but if you’re going to dive in, be prepared for just how deep the water is.
A Commandos like RTS that manages to revive a genre by itself.

What happens when you mix stealth action, tactical decisions, and beautiful art? You get Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.
I think the concept concocted by Mimimi Productions alone was what made Shadow Tactics a worthwhile game to make, and even more worthwhile to play.
Shadow Tactics brings back the atmosphere of some classics, like Commandos and Desperados, with a hard and fun tactical gameplay.

Mimimi aus München haben die Echtzeit-Taktik würdig wiederbelebt und bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten prima an moderne Standards angepasst. Bitte mehr davon!

A glorious return for the hardcore tactical stealth genre.
Each level takes plenty of skill, and you’re given some great abilities and weapons to execute your attack, even if the levels take a long time to complete.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a brilliant revival of the "hardcore stealth tactical games" formula. The german developer Mimimi Productions overcome the tradition by offering some new features that surely modernizes the original gameplay. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is fun and challenging, with some technical issues.

Everything in Shadow Tactics is just so refreshing (and challenging that’ll ultimately get you frustrated, but will still make you play the game because you really want to know what’ll happen next, too), and it is really a huge surprise to me that such game still exists during this time of generic triple A titles.
We are in front of a genre that seemed to have disappeared, even though it had strongly marked the 2000s, the kind of tactics in real time; thanks to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, the Mimimi Production team really succeeds in bringing back strength and strength to this type of game.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun will have you plotting the art of war like a master tactician. You will forge elaborate plans and test them in the fires of a a beautifully realised Edo-period Japan.
Based Loosely on Japan's Edo period, Shadow Tactics is a great Stealth-Tactical Real Time Strategy game that reminds you of the good old Commandos series.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun’s uncommon attentiveness to characters and story elevate what is already a really entertaining and mentally stimulating quest across 17th-Century Japan. The near-constant annoyance of the camera definitely hindered my feeling of being a zen ninja assassin. Overall though, developer Mimimi has put together one of the most punishing and clever top-down stealth games I’ve ever skulked through.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun provides a satisfying challenge, making gamers feel like a badass for even the smallest of victories.
Shadow Tactics is a return to form for a genre that hasn't received nearly enough love
An excellent stealth game with beautiful visuals and incredibly deep, complex and varied gameplay.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a real-time tactical stealth game with gorgeous levels and clever mechanics.
I've spent a few work nights staying up way too late playing, just to see what it would throw at me next. With the replayability built into each mission, I can imagine a few more of those nights on the horizon.
