Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

It's an interesting mixture of action and strategy. You always have different options to overcome guards (kill, knock out, hide, distract,...). It's also a good game to relax as it isn't too intense while still beeing interesting. The asian scenery is well done. Only weak point imo is that the guards are sometimes to weak. This means that often times you can still kill the guards if they notice you.

inb4: Overall, it's a nice game, really. A little bit unpolished, but nice. If you wanted more Desperadoes III, this game will be just fine. Flaws listed below aren't even annoying, mostly -- it's a couple more reloads per mission until you get used to them (which isn't much, unexpected guards aka bad plans caused way more). First missions are more like unskippable tutorial, after them real game starts. Hardcore difficulty is too easy. (Without badges it's more or less D3's Hard; with interesting badges it's 2-3 reruns for each mission; with all badges it's... too much.) Pathfinding is bad. (You have to micromanage your characters walking path way more often than in D3.) Delayed orders are also buggy (distractions work fine, killing enemies when your characters are standing mostly works, killing from crouch position mostly doesn't; also, it seems that running can't be delayed). Plot is... there. Somewhere. Probably. Who cares about the plot?

This game is worth full price, so any discount (especially 90%) is absolutely worth it. It plays in real time, with pause at any time to plan and coordinate moves. Set triggers to synchronize actions and avoid raising alarms. One of the best turn based tactics games I've ever played, hands down. I do own it, but on a different system I believe.

A worthy spiritual successor to Commandos. Game runs excellent, looks and sounds beautiful, each of the characters has a unique personality and a play style to match. What a throwback, highly recommend.

A complelling tactics game with great art, fun characters, and a mess of good mechanics. It's hard but accessible, and very rewarding. Highly recommended.
