More of the same outstanding tactical gameplay, Still looks and sounds brilliant, with outstanding art and audio direction, More time, and good character development, for those familiar with the game
Poor attempts to engage new players or reengage older ones who could have forgotten many aspects in both characters and gameplay, High difficulty curve due to the location of the missions in the wider title
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun - Aiko's Choice is more of the original, which means it's more of one of the best real-time tactics games around. The few issues that you could have with the original, such as the difficulty curve, are made worse due t...

Incredible stealth gameplay, Pushes the player to really learn all their characters, Gorgeous graphics and level design, Outstanding voice acting, More Kuma time, Another Mimimi Masterpiece
Even tougher than the base game, A graphical step backwards from Desperados III, Hard to jump in as a standalone
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun was one of my favorite games of 2017, and Aiko's Choice is a return to form. Mimimi Games continues to deliver tight gameplay, incredible stealth, and a compelling story to tie it all together

While I still believe the game would be best controlled with a keyboard and mouse, I still wholeheartedly recommend this for anyone who appreciates smart, stealth gameplay. It's one of the best examples of the stealth genre with a ton of replayability...

Engaging and rewarding storyline, Japanese voiceovers are a great touch, Sharp and highly detailed, graphically, “Happy accidents” opportunities are a highlight, Tactics and patience are required for success
PS4 version isn't quite as sharp, visually, as PC, Challenge level may be too high for some players, Camera can be a little irritating
An excellent and challenging update to a familiar formula, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is one of those games that makes you cheer at your well-planned success when everything goes off without a hitch, and groan at your own poor planning when it d...
Abstract: Isometric graphics in games have been a staple of the gaming industry for many years, with titles like Diablo and Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura making up the biggest part of my personal experience over the years. Desperados have made this even...

Outstanding level and world design, Colourful and vibrant visuals, Compelling gameplay with levels that offer a variety of paths to take, Huge depth of tactical options, combined with stealth based gameplay
Very difficult and requires frequent quick saving (The game gives you a timer by default, warning you that you haven't saved recently enough), Game suffers from minor technical hiccups, such as characters getting stuck on objects
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a fantastic return to form for the real-time tactics genre, with a particular emphasis on stealth based gameplay. Reminiscent of Commandos, it offers a fantastic tactical approach in a brilliantly designed world tha...

Complex, multifaceted tactics work exceptionally well, Convenient save system encourages experimentation, Great dialogue between party members, Excellent shadow mode supports highlevel planning and more nuanced tactics, Captivating level design
Steep learning curve at the start, Scenarios feel too rigid at times
