In our Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun review Miguel said: “There aren’t many games like Shadow Tactics, and thankfully it sets the bar high for any potential challengers. The mix of RTS controls with stealth-oriented gameplay and level design make for incredibly satisfying, almost puzzle-like encounters. However, discovering the solutions to these puzzles takes a lot of time and patience, and the hour-long missions often left me feeling fatigued before I even got halfway through. Shadow Tactics is a unique exploration of the stealth genre with a lot of polish, but if you’re going to dive in, be prepared for how deep the water is.
