In our review of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, Miguel said: “There are few games like Shadow Tactics, and fortunately it sets the bar high for all potential contenders. Combining RTS controls with stealth-oriented gameplay and level design creates incredibly satisfying, almost puzzle-like encounters. However, discovering the solutions to these puzzles takes a lot of time and patience, and the multi-hour missions often left me feeling tired before I was even halfway through. Shadow Tactics is a unique exploration of the stealth genre with a lot of polish, but if you’re going to dive into it, be prepared to take the plunge.
