Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun awakens a genre that has been in deep hibernation for more than a decade...Shadow Tactics recreates the pace and play patterns of its predecessors with touching loyalty. In the few areas where it does alter the formula, it does so with care and cleverness.
Atmospheric and impossible to rush, Shadow Tactics is a fabulous game a game I think I prefer to both Commandos 2 and Desperados.
God Is A Geek - 8/10
Each level takes plenty of skill, and youre given some great abilities and weapons to execute your attack, even if the levels take a long time to complete.
Eurogamer Poland - 8/10
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun manages to resurrect a genre without a good representative for almost a decade. Minor shortcomings of this title can't lessen the satisfaction of every successful mission or a smart move around enemies.
