Shadow Tactics: Wanted Dead or Alive
Desperados is the game that came to my mind when I first saw this game (I never played Commandos). It has a beautiful and varied level design, matching music (though not as suspenseful, admittedly) and a decent voice cast. Each character has a unique and useful skillset and play style. There is a solid foundation here that easily matches Desperados. Shadow Tactics even does a couple of things better. You will unlock the characters quickly. The save system is done well. Up to three quick-save states are kept. After a short time, a timer button will appear at the top that lets you save with a click, reminding you to save repeatedly. Three characters have grappling hooks to climb buildings and can jump from roof to roof. Night levels play differently, as light sources affect line-of-sight. There is also an achievement system that rewards certain play styles. However, there are many things I did not like. There is no way to incapacitate people beyond knocking them out for half a minute. Civilians will sometimes stay put afterwards, but often cause trouble. This discourages a non-lethal play style. Some of the later levels are extremely tedious, because many people will be in each other’s line-of-sight or standing together, making it difficult to find an entry. At some point, it became too much of a puzzle game for me, as I felt though there were only few options available. Thus you will reload often! Samurais are best avoided, because it is not possible to dispose of them silently. Only one character can kill them safely on their own. They ignore distractions and can see through disguises from a distance. They just weren’t fun and become more numerous. There is also no way to chain commands of a single character. You can only execute one command for multiple characters at once. The game would have benefitted from a pause mode too. Finally, the controls can be clunky sometimes. It is a decent game and worth having a look, but it doesn’t live up to my expectations.
