Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

Shadow Tactics really makes the player think. Levels are open ended, and badges encouage playing them in new and creative ways. You can tell the level designers respect the players. There is no "correct" path hidden between red herrings; there is even the occasional badge for ignoring the recomended poison, disguise, or sniper pearch. I am still on my first play through, and already look forward to discovering new ways to conquer old levels.

Not for the impatient or faint of heart, this game is a hardcore stealth and strategy romp, and I love it!. Great story, music, art and characters. Refreshingly challenging, and offers the freedom to approach each situation however you see fit. Thoroughly enjoyable, and worth paying full price, which is not something I say often these days! I tip my hat to the devs on this one. They've lovingly crafted a true stealth genre masterpiece, which succeeds in being not only mindful and reminiscent of its greatest predecessors, but itself a truly new and unique offering, worthy of its place among them. If you love stealth games, then you owe it to yourself and its creators to play this beauty. Your honor demands it!

Great tactical stealth! Excellent execution.

If you enjoy stealth games, do not hesitate to pick this one up. Very enjoyable. I also appreciate that it's set in 1600's Japan. Adds a lot of ambience.
