95 % satisfaction, 5 % frustration

This is hands down the best "Commandos" game so far. It has vivid art style, great sound design (it's one thing to execute a nice backstab but it's so much better when it's accompanied by a punchy sound of the blade going through flesh along with the desperate grunt of your enemy), perfectly fitting atmospheric soundtrack and the voice acting (I played it in english) was just fine, definitely able to make you connect with your heroes (I don't know about you, but I never cared as much for my green berret guy from Commandos as I did for Yuki :) ). The dialogue may have been little cheesy sometimes but never to the point of cringe, and overal I enjoyed the interactions between my characters and the storyline. And then there's the Shadow Mode! It allows you to assign one action to each of your characters and then execute them all with a press of a single button - and there's nothing as satisfying as watching a meticulously planned attack on multiple enemies work out perfectly! Or maybe not - because one of your characters messed up and it's time to hit the Quickload button - no big deal - you'll be doing that a lot (I finished most of the missions with 100+ saves/loads - fortunatelly the quickload usually only takes a moment). Yes, this game is hard. But it's exactly that challenge, the feeling of overcoming seemingly impossible odds that makes completing every mission so rewarding. And most of the time it really is just your timing or trying something stupid that makes you mess up multiple times at the same spot. So, where's the speck of frustration that I mentioned in the title? Well, sometimes (fortunatelly quite rarely) you'll be required to execute a series of precise and time-critical actions while fighting a little with controls and the camera. Also one thing that annoyed me a bit (especially in the last mission) is that your characters can climb/jump only at certain spots and at times it seemed rather arbitrary. Still, a great game with a huge replay value!

An awesome game, overall.

One of the best games I have ever played! Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is by no means an easy game. Nope, it's actually challenging and would require you, as the player, to strategize your every move, unless you want to get detected or shot at by the enemy. No, every move should be precise and well-thought out, and that's the beauty of it. Unlike any other game which will make you rage quit due to an unbalanced difficulty spike, ST: BotS actually motivates strategy, without taking itself too seriously. The story, the soundtrack, the visuals, and most especially the gameplay, they are all superb and well-delivered. Kudos, Shadow Tactics! I just hope that there may be a sequel in the foreseeable future. This game is definitely a must-have and a must-play!

The Ultimate Experience

I was expecting I wouldn't enjoy Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun (ST:BotS) as much, so I got it when it was on sale. But, boy, was I wrong! I still prefer games like Dishonored and Mark of the Ninja, because they feel faster. However pulling off an attack in ST:BotS with 3 or more characters in real time is just so satisfying. The game features a scripted actions queue, which I thought was too short. 3 actions at most is quite insufficient when each character has 4 skills. It did remind of Transistor a bit, but I guess the point in ST:BotS is to control the characters in real time. Especially if you want the speedrun badge, i.e. complete a level in 15-20 minutes. You don't have to rush though. I took my time with Misson 9 and I finished it in 1 hour and 27 min. After that I checked the speedruns online and there was a 57 SECONDS long one (loading screen incl.). Wow! It's amazing how ST:BotS allows you to enjoy it at your own speed. On top of that using different characters to solve a problem provides a vastly different experience and lets you go on a unique journey of your choice. I did have some trouble with actions getting canceled or characters not responding as fast as I was issuing commands, but that's about the only complaint I have. I didn't experience any other bugs. Everything else is great! The gameplay is solid. The graphics are brilliant. The soundtrack fits perfectly with the atmosphere. The voice acting is also great, although I enjoyed the Japanese one more than the English one. There are subtitles though, so you can go with the language of you preference. The story telling stood out to me as well. It's a simple story, but good and the dialogue is so well written that you get to know each of the 5 characters and share their feelings throughout their journey. As a whole ST:BotS feels so complete and colorful, with various ways to finish each mission that it just creates the ultimate experience. Verdict: Brilliant! Worth full price.

Intriguing & challenging game

I got this game for free on GOG's 2021 Winter giveaway. First impression is that the graphics is very good. I like this type of stylized graphics compared to reality graphics. After playing the first mission, I was hooked. Some gamers may not like scripted or fixed pathways to complete the quests, I prefer it to those games with open world but rubbish quests. At least you can be sure the developers put in a lot of effort to make the gameplay/storyline good rather than put in lots of filler quests in the main storyline to artificially beef up the play time because they have to spend time making side quests in the open world. The storyline is good as well and the characters are very memorable. My favourite is Yuki due to her skill set and her concern for her team mates. Gameplay is very smooth but I did encounter 1 bug whereby the samurai is stuck in 1 place and it is linked to a guard so I cannot kill the guard at all and have to go around him. If I tried to kill the guard, my character will be frozen in place and I cannot do anything. Other than this bug, the gameplay is very responsive for all the missions. The voice acting and BGM are also very well done. I have only completed the game once but I will try to complete all the challenges (a.k.a. badges) in the missions. I will also purchase the DLC: Aiko's Choice to support the developers. I highly recommend this stealth game!
