Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

This game is pretty damn hard. It is also pretty damn good. You may yell at this game. I did. I also gave it 5 stars. If you liked commandos but felt like "wow this game has dated mechanics. I wish there was modern quality of life for this game" then this is the game you were asking for. Surprisingly, the writing and character voice overs in this game are quite enjoyable. I was very surprised because a game like this usually does not have that expectation. Graphically it is awesome. Sound is great. Missions are complicated (and hard) and there are multiple challenge levels and difficultys you can tinker with if you are feeling more masochistic. This game game out of nowhere, (found it online) and im glad I snagged it on GoG

Mac guy here. Plays awesome on my 5k iMac (late 2014). This is game is incredible. You don't need a super fast computer to play it. The story, the stealth, game play, all of it is highly polished.

This game is a gem. Great level design and story, I have enjoyed each unique level with its several ways to complete it. I hope Mimimi Productions can make other game like this!

As someone who loved the original Desperados but hated what they did in the 2 sequels, this game is exactly what I was hoping for the genre. It is clearly a labor of love by people who know what made this genre so special. Just as Desperados took the Commandos formula and improved it in almost every way, Shadow Tactics did the same with the original Desperados. I am very happy that the same developers created Desperados 3 and I hope they continue the same path.

If you played commandos and liked it, you will love this. The story is good, especially after the first missions since you'll see the bonds between the characters and the current history. The gameplay is solid, you'll definitely save and load a lot because planning is essential to this game but sometimes you'll have to run and hope for the best. I encountered no bugs. My suggestion: it gets better mission after mission, so play at least 3 missions at the start if you don't like it too much
