It’s Shadow Tactics, so don’t miss it
Towards the end of the Edo period, a new shogun tries to restore peace to Japan. To subdue the rebellion, he tasks a team of five specialists:
Mugen, a rabid samurai who does not fear direct attacks with a katana and heavy armor
Aiko, a geisha who masters disguise
Hayato, an agile ninja who prefers to be stealthy
Yuki, a street girl who knows the traps
Takuma, the old man on the team, leaning on his sniper rifle and tanuki (raccoon dog).

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun – Real Time Tactics Game Trailer
The characters are not only our “tools”, they also feel very alive through the conversations. Their relationships to each other are taken over and also have some very emotional moments for an iso point of view. Combined with the detailed and truly atmospheric Japanese world, there’s an engrossing atmosphere that pulls you through 13 missions that take up a good 25 hours.
With its different abilities, the team also ensures that there are always new constellations that change the playstyle somewhat and thus keep the variety high. In addition, there are always several possible solutions that invite you to puzzle. Basically, the gameplay revolves around tactical stealth, in which we avoid enemies, distract them or preferably eliminate them secretly. Skillful distraction maneuvers are also part of it. If you wish, you can even proceed almost completely peacefully.
With a focus on stealth and tactics, Shadow Tactics isn’t just a Commandos clone with a Japanese setting. On the contrary, Mimimi has significantly expanded the concept, for example with practical functions such as three quick saves plus the possibility of saving manually.
