Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

[Viktor]

Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period.

Take control of a team of deadly specialists and sneak in the shadowsbetween dozens of enemies. Choose your approach when infiltrating mighty castles, snowy mountain monasteries or hidden forest camps. Set traps, poison your opponents or completely avoid enemy contact.

The group is composed of very different personalities. Working together as a team seems impossible at first. Yet over the course of many missions, trust is won and friendships are made. The characters develop their own dynamic and each member will have to face their own personal demons.

Pretty much if you're a fan of the old Commandos games then you should check this out. Even still if you're interested in a tactical strategy game then I would suggest it. I've only played through the first mission but as someone that never played Commandos I'm really enjoying it.
