Shadow Tactics’ impressive missions, laden toy box and likeable cast make it one of the greatest stealth games of the last decade.

4/5 stars
While Shadow Tactics offers a decent gameplay length, the lack of replayability makes the pricing a little questionable, but over all, if you're a fan of the genre, you will find it to be a worthwhile investment.

Fun and engaging
I like these type of games, I thought that after Desperads series there will be no more such tactical games. Happy that I was wrong.

Good stealth strategy game
Couldn't have played it without spamming quick saves though

Fantastic turn base strategy!
So, I am fairly new to this genre. And I have to say that the characters, story, gameplay, soundtrack are sublime. The puzzles for every situation are challenging and their is a progression through the challenges. The game also does not necessarily hold your hand, and I am playing it in Normal difficulty. If you are into the turn-based strategy games, please, buy it! Totally worth it. I am sure to buy other games from the same studio.

great tactics game
It's like chess, where you try to plan a couple steps ahead. But with interesting story and characters.
