Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
I’m still missing some achievements but the Steam Awards are here and Shadow Tactics deserves a prize.
Briefly: Shadow Tactics is a real-time stealth tactics game, a true tribute to Commandos games. Instead of soldiers, it’s about ninjas and scheming in feudal Japan. And it fits the concept perfectly.
It’s always a bit daunting to write about a game you love. Shadow Tactics has everything you loved about Commandos games, coming with a modern interface. It’s also a great example that Unity can create truly great games.

I guess all of us have games that we used to love back in the days, but can’t find anything like them on modern market. Times changed and now there are many dead, or half-dead genres and sub-genres. Space simulators, rail shooters… Even real-time strategies and puzzle / point & click adventures aren’t doing well now. Among all that there’s a small RTS sub-genre that was never really big, but still made a lot of loyal fans. I’m talking about Commandos series and its clones. An unique mix of stealth and RTS with revolutionary “cons of sight” system. By controlling group of soldiers with the unique set of abilities, players were supposed to finish different missions in WWII setting. The first two Commandos games (released in 1998 and 2001 respectively) were absolutely brilliant and it felt like their makers, Pyro Studios, are making instant classic. Unfortunately, the third Commandos game wasn’t that popular thanks to many questionable changes in the gameplay, while FPS spin-off called Commandos: Strike Force started the dark times for Pyro Studios. Which switched to casual games soon after that. Commandos series died. But there was another team to keep their spirit alive.

Shadow Tactics: Aiko’s Choice
It’s like they were short on their Q4 financials and some bean counter said, “Hey, how can get a quick cash infusion before Dec. 31?” And then someone said, “I think there’s a bit leftover on the Shadow Tactics cutting room floor we can wrap up in a bow and sell for cash grab so we can all get our Christmas bonuses.”
This DLC is just way too short. No new characters or abilities. And all the achievements are super easy. There’s no achievements for doing the missions on hard difficulty. No achievements for getting all the badges. It’s like this was all just quickly picked up off the floor and thrown together.

Not much to say here, it’s more of the brilliant Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, for which you can see my review here . It’s made in the exact same engine, so all the pros and cons of my original review stand.
The 3 short interlude missions, with no badges, allow for a more relaxed pace to deliver story and plot in. This adds character and is very welcomed. The maps are most huge and, as usual, richly detailed (except the second, which takes place on an archipelago with smaller sandy islands that tend to look mostly the same).

I LOVED the original…Then I played this! The original now sits in that nostalgic corner of my gaming brain never to be played again just thought about with fond memories because when you play the original you’ll be thinking of this!. Well worth every penny and more. I lost two and a half hours on one mission that only felt like half an hour, I also managed to burn my dinner in the process! Ha. The achievements are a very nice touch that gives the game some longevity….Speed running might be a bridge too far for me though! The only negative thing about this game is you get to the end eventually and you’ll want more!. Note to Mimimi…Please take my money and make more content….(pretty please).

Total War: SHOGUN 2
OK I’m older than the average gamer and have a history of traditional wargaming - map based and figure based games/campaigns. I find all the Total War immersive and an excellent up to date computer based version of traditional wargaming. Shogun 2 is a particular favourite as it was the first one I really started to customise with user based extensions and later my own. Today, I’m downloading it again to play it for the first time in about 3 years and can hardy wait. Programming wise, apart from a few moody extensions the game is very reliable and lock-up and crash free. It also gets a big plus for not stealing all my memory and CPU run time allowing me to multi-task with high end productivity and graphics software.

What the heck…no mouse support in 2021?
I felt like I had stepped back in time to 1989, before every PC had a mouse. But instead, I just stepped into this dev’s awful game that you have to use a controller or the keyboard to play. Absolute garbage.
