I got it for free but man the game is good. Disintegrating western capitalists' military and harvesting their scrap has been an incredible experience for me. I'm about to play the last mission of the last DLC but just now I realised how fun this game can be! Mild gameplay poiler alert!! Use AA missiles against air units! It's so much more fun this way. Also, if you don't get enough action, build your towers so that one part of the map is heavily fortified while the other part is solely under your control without any towers. TL;DR: Just give this bloody game a chance!!!
I always liked "Commandos". "Shadow Tactics" is like a very good grandchild to that game. It took everything good from the "Commandos" and added a ton of improvements. I especially liked the function. The game feels so so so satisfying when you nail a very risky tactic. Compelling, rewarding, satisfying. My two cents for the devs: - You did a great job - it's an amazing game. But here are my issues with the game: - Jumping or throwing bodies from upstairs can become very unintuitive. I didn't look up anything on Youtube except to get a particular badge at the end of the last mission (you know what I mean). - Why shadow mode only supports only 1 input for each character? Why can't I just queue several orders to be executed side to side by the same character? - I'm always against achievements (and in this case badges) which restricts you from using some mechanics of the game. Sure, it's a challange, but challange can be other than "Don't use Aiko's disguise" or "Don't select Mugen". Why? Why restrict the fun? Otherwise, an excellent game. 98/100
