Shadow Tactics: Blades Of The Shogun Free Download GAMESPACK.NET When I say that stealth is essential, I mean that it’s impossible to finish a level of Shadow Tactics without conducting an appropriate level of covert operations. You can alert enemies to a degree (in fact, sometimes it helps to make one suspicious in order to lure them into a trap), but you have little health and few aggressive options to play around with in the event of an encounter. It’s either stab an enemy in the back with the correct amount of time to get away, or die trying. But when you can pull off a kill, Shadow Tactics makes it extremely satisfying.

In early levels, the guards are spaced out in such a way that I settled into a groove easily, but that never lasted long. Each level has a number of obstacles, optional goals and steps, so they’re never straightforward. Strategies picked up in one level can be erased by the demands and situational changes of the next. Each level also swaps which characters you can control, and they end up as one of Shadow Tactics‘ most surprising strengths. In a game that’s less about narrative and more about level design and gameplay, these characters are still given a lot of attention. Each of the five playable fighters are unique in their fighting styles, with different abilities to mess around with. They also have their own personalities and backstories that add color to their actions, providing smaller, meaningful details.

The character that I found most endearing was Yuki, a young street urchin who learned to defend herself with a mix of ingenious traps and lures. Her small size makes her quick when dashing from bush to bush, and she’s light enough on her feet that she can use a grappling hook to hop onto rooftops. However, she’s small, so dragging dead bodies is a challenge. One sequence early on in the game has her trying to hide a body in front of Hayato, a professional shinobi who looks on as she struggles. She’s determined to move it, despite the obvious physical challenges. Each character in Shadow Tactics earns sympathy in their own way, and each subsequent level adds a bit more to their personalities and stories. Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Hayato starts off as an arrogant, aloof man, but you learn over time that he isn’t as money-obsessed as he appears. He’s also fiercely loyal, despite his tendency to work alone. It took a lot of time and effort to endear Hayato to me, but it worked. This attention to detail outside of the stealth and gameplay itself ensures that Shadow Tactics can appeal to players who don’t typically engage with the genre., but it excels in other areas, such as art. The menu is especially eye-catching and introduces the art style that permeates the rest of the game. It always opens on the same animation: the five playable characters drawn in what looks like pencil, staring off into the distance.

Their hair and clothes sway gently to an imaginary breeze, splattered with crimson blood that stands out sharply against the grayscale designs. It’s reminiscent of pastoral Japanese art and calligraphy, but it’s modern in the sheer amount of detail you can see in the clothing and hair. You can see all of this in the game itself, although it’s tough to appreciate the character designs, since the top-down orientation gives you a far-off perspective. But the game’s attention to detail is visible everywhere. The environments, for instance, are vivid and alive. The trees sway, and the river water runs. You can see marks on walls and buildings, the color and shape of individual flowers and the paths beaten into the ground from footsteps. It gave me plenty to admire as I waited for enemies to walk to the proper position, or when I was trying to figure out where to go next. Big Dick at the Beach

You control a rag-tag group working for the Shogun, protecting him, his people and killing his enemies. There are five characters and each has their own personality and skills to bring to the mission. There are cutscenes between each level and your characters chat throughout missions but the story itself is quite simple but works as a good excuse for a variety of missions. In a mission you have an isometric view of the map and can pan, zoom and rotate the camera as you see fit to plan out your moves. The controls actually take quite some getting used to as multiple actions are assigned to certain buttons and context pays a strong part in which actions you’ll be performing. They do a great job though and I got used to them and can’t say I could ever blame them for my errors.

Characters with Special Abilities

You control whichever character you have selected directly with the left stick, there’s no mouse pointer here, you can crouch, interact with the environment, attack enemies and use items with the face buttons. Left on the d-pad allows you to highlight specific enemies and see, one at time, where their vision cone covers. That’s right, it’s one of those games, fighting anyone head on will not end well for you. The cones are actually very large so planning ahead is vital though the game gives you all the tools you need to succeed. Cones have two states, closer to the enemy they’ll be solid which means if you enter that area then you will quickly be spotted. Further away the cone becomes faded and here you won’t be spotted if you’re crouched. Enter The Backrooms

Finding the safe path, or creating your own, is the key to success. Each character has their own tools and abilities, each being useful in different situations. Hayato is a ninja so can dispatch enemies quickly, use a shuriken for ranged kills and distract enemies with stones. Yuki is a thief so is a little slower to get the kill, but has a bird whistle which draws enemies towards it and a floor trap for them to step on. Mugen is a samurai and so the strongest character at your disposal, he can kill multiple enemies at once with his sword wind attack and draw enemies away from their patrols with a bottle of sake. Aiko is also a ninja but one who can wear disguises to hide in plain sight and distract enemies or use sneezing powder to shorten an enemies viewing cone briefly. Takuma is an elderly gentleman so can’t take people out directly but is a master marksman who can take out enemies from a distance with his rifle. He also has a tanuki with which to distract enemies and bombs to loudly take out groups.

You have lots of options with which to complete your objectives depending on which characters are available for that mission. Whether you want to go lethal or non-lethal or simply sneak past without touching anyone there are multiple ways to approach each encounter. All characters can hide in bushes and use ladders to reach higher areas, whilst the ninjas can use a grappling hook on specific points and swim undetected if there is a body of water. Takuma can’t carry bodies, the females are physically weaker so drag bodies to safety whereas Hayato can carry one body relatively quickly whilst Mugen can carry two bodies whilst running! You might think with such well defined abilities that once you’d mastered them that each level would basically play out the same but that’s where the level and enemy design comes in. The basic soldier can be manipulated easily with noises or disguises, ‘straw hats’ stick to their patrol religiously so are harder to isolate whilst samurai can’t be fooled by any tricks and need to be offed by Mugen or stunned with gunfire before being killed by the weaker characters. The combination of these enemies with overlapping line of sight and moving patrols, on top of level specific hazards like leaving footprints in snow or torches illuminating you if you get too close keep the challenge high and the gameplay rewarding.
