Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice

a good expansion with great gameplay...

... but mediocre story. Fans of the main game will enjoy 3 additional level with challenging layouts and 3 smallish storytelling level with focus on fleshing out the aiko's story. Great: - awesome environment design, imho even better than the main game - all maps are challenging with a lot of options and new ideas - The main theme got even better! (real orchestra!) - more kuma, more yuki, what more do you want? Not so great: - Imho, the story ending to this expansion is awful and feels even more forced than "that moment" on mount tsuru. everything up to it was great, though. - hayato can jump down 10m onto stone but chickens out jumping 2m into water while mugen still can't throw bodies off a pier but vaulting them over a fence is fine. hmm. this and a couple more small annoyances from the main game are still present, but overall they don't spoil the fun. Verdict: This is purely an expansion for true fans who want more shadow tactics. Otherwise it doesn't really make sense how 3 more maps can cost half the price of the main game, which had 13 level. I still enjoyed it a lot and would pay full price again. I'd advice you do the same, otherwise we will never get shadow tactics 2!
