About the Game

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a stealth-oriented real-time tactics video game, with a gameplay similar to the Commandos and Desperados series. The game was released on December 6, 2016 for Linux, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One & macOS. It received three German Developer Awards (best German game, best PC/console game, best game design).

The game's setting is loosely based on Japan's Edo period. A new shogun has unified Japan after years of war, but now a mysterious new warlord named Kage-sama has emerged, jeopardizing the country's stability. The shogun tasks Mugen, a samurai in his service, with determining Kage-sama's identity and alliances. Mugen recruits four agents skilled in infiltration and assassination: Hayato, a ninja; Yuki, a thief; Aiko, a spy; and Takuma, a sharpshooter. They identify and kill two of Kage-sama's allies: Lord Yabu and the rogue general Okkoto. While pursuing a lead on Kage-sama's location, they are caught in a trap. Kage-sama turns out to be the shogun's brother and senior general, Noboru. The shogun's peace doesn't suit Noboru and he wants to return Japan to a state of war, where warriors like him are in their element. By holding Mugen's comrades hostage, Noboru forces Mugen to lead him to the secret refuge of the shogun's son, whom Noboru's own son murders. Noboru imprisons Mugen's comrades and leaves Mugen a knife for him to commit suicide with. Mugen's comrades escape, but Mugen chooses to commit suicide for failing his shogun. His four comrades kidnap Noboru's son and drag him before the shogun where he confesses. The shogun then sends his agents to assassinate Noboru in his castle. Having avenged Mugen, the four comrades part ways.
