I say ‘tiny figures’ and I mention it because Shadow Tactics feels like you’re controlling characters in a real-life (but digital) diorama. Helped by the fact you move the characters in real time (rather than point-and-click) you move your tiny figures around this world, killing folks and hiding bodies as you go. It’s not because it’s unfair, or because you can’t hit the buttons quick enough, the ability to succeed in Shadow Tactics is a part of your lateral thought and planning as much as joypad co-ordination. Shadow Tactics heard these woes and has no pity on me. Suited to mouse and keyboard, it did have an appearance on home consoles and sadly I must confess that I played it briefly, before confessing that it was just too hard.

For those not ‘in the know’, Commandos is a similar styled game with a storied history on PC and a cult-fanbase. Think Diablo meets Metal Gear Solid with a dash of Mark of the Ninja. Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is an isometric/top-down strategic stealth game. Three levels in now, and not only was I not disappointed (which so often happens when my hopes are raised higher than they should be) but it’s excelled my expectations. But I don’t have a PC and my Mac isn’t really up to playing games, so when I heard it was coming out on console, I was excited. But that’s what happened as I started to play Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.

It’s not very often that when I play a videogame these days, I am blown away.
