Had a lot of fun playing this great game with a friend and finishing it on the highest difficulty level. It's really impressive what Mimimi has achieved here with a small team and how they revived an old forgotten genre almost single-handedly. Great map design, really good enemy placement and a really tough difficulty level really captivated us both. The characters complement each other perfectly in terms of their abilities, each has their own way of playing and it's fun to combine the different skills. The writing wasn't bad either, even if the main story is very clichéd. Great game :)

It's tempting to refer to any bird's-eye-stealth-real-time-strategy-esque game as a Commandos title, as that series introduced and defined this peculiar genre. In any case, Blades of the Shogun tries its hardest to make this style of game playable and I can't help but admire it (a decent story with genuine emotional turns helps). Nevertheless, it admits the shortcomings of its genre by pinging the player every sixty seconds with the reminder, “Did You Save?” As with its predecessors, BotS is more about save-scumming and brute-force replay than real strategy.
Buen sistema de combate y sigilo, al mismo tiempo que personajes únicos. La historia es típica pero es interesante, y los retos de cada nivel son realmente difíciles si quieres hacerlos. El doblaje al inglés también está bastante conseguido. A más avanzas te ponen más y más enemigos hasta el punto que se pasa de ir improvisando y consiguiendo los objetivos a tu manera; a hacerlo exactamente como ellos quieren o no te lo vas a pasar. Una gran pena, pasa lo mismo en Desperados 3, pero al menos aquí es solo con las últimas misiones.
Un jeu de tactique (sans blague) qui se déroule au Japon. C'est joli, l'histoire était intéressante et le gameplay assez riche avec les différentes aptitudes et utilités des différents personnages. Je ne le terminerais pas, je crois qu'il ne me reste que 1 ou 2 niveaux pour arriver au bout, mais j'ai laissé une trop longue période entre ma dernière session et celle ou j'ai tenté de terminer, reprendre à l'avant-dernier niveau sans se rappeler comment fonctionne les mécaniques du jeu c'est pas évident.
Played Shadow Tactics for a Discord's quarterly game; not my usual genre, so this was challenging for me. After the third mission, I even had to switch to easy mode. (That felt like it did little, especially later on.) I did enjoy the game. The story and characters were alright; mostly, I liked the art style.
I did not enjoy constantly spinning my camera around to view enemies and use objects like doors. At times, hiding bodies and interacting with doors needed to be pixel perfect. If you didn't click just right, you'll be spotted. Even while using the eyesight that highlights hidden areas.
There are two missions in particular that force you to be VERY rigid with a certain character. You have to go in one path. Unlike the rest of the game, it's pretty open to how you want to play. But these two instances really soured my mood because it made it unbelievably difficult. Probably not a big deal if you better at these types of games; I'm sure you're better than me. But damn, those were unfun and frustrating.
Really my only complaints. Just be better than me at the game and you'll most likely enjoy it even more.
