    Fraser Brown
    Score: 92 out of 100

    Shadow Tactics’ impressive missions, laden toy box and likeable cast make it one of the greatest stealth games of the last decade.

    Jeffrey Matulef

    A winning premise of cleverly combined genres let down by a series of irritating design issues.

    T.J. Hafer
    Score: 8.2 out of 10

    Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun’s uncommon attentiveness to characters and story elevate what is already a really entertaining and mentally stimulating quest across 17th-Century Japan. The near-constant annoyance of the camera definitely hindered my feeling of being a zen ninja assassin. Overall though, developer Mimimi has put together one of the most punishing and clever top-down stealth games I’ve ever skulked through.
