Save scumming is the act of constantly saving your game and reloading the second something goes awry. I loved that between each tactical level was a cutscene at a safe-house where our characters bickered and planned their next move. The focus is always on your five heroes and the fun interplay between them. You’ll be tasked with assassinating enemies, stealing important papers, and rescuing allies. The story is a fun and satisfying journey throughout a dramatic period in Japanese history. Need to take out a powerful, well-defended daimyo? You can either sneak in and poison his tea, or set Takuma up on a watchtower and lure him out. Almost each level features at least two main ways to approach an objective.
SHADOW TACTICS YUKI FULL
Again, XCOM relies on randomized content whereas Shadow Tactics features carefully crafted level designs full of enemy patrols and multiple paths. You’ll need all their skills to tackle the large maps and scenarios across Japan.
Ninja characters Hayato and Yuki can use hookshots to reach rooftops, while the cantankerous old man Takuma has a powerful long-range rifle (with very limited ammo). Shadow Tactics features five very distinct characters, each with their own set of realistic abilities and traits. There’s Mugen the fatherly samurai and Yuki the unhinged child ninja-in-training. While you may play as randomized soldiers in other tactical games like XCOM, here you play as actual characters. Instead of playing as the plucky rebels, you play as the Shogun’s defenders against a new rebellious uprising. The story opens as the Shogun takes power to unify the warring country. Shadow Tactics fully embraces its beautiful but deadly world of 17th century Japan. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun goes several steps further by wrapping it within a rich, character-focused drama set in the war-torn age of shinobi and samurai. Combining top-down views, large maps, and enemy viewcones creates an experience I hadn’t seen in years. But there exists an even rarer gem: the tactical real-time stealth game. The recent XCOM reboots may have revitalized the turn-based tactical genre.
