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

Take control of a team of deadly specialists and use the darkness to sneak past dozens of enemies. Choose the approach you prefer to infiltrate mighty castles, monasteries set in snow-capped mountains, or hidden forest encampments. You can set traps, poison opponents or completely avoid contact with the enemy.

The group is made up of very different characters. Working as a team will seem impossible at first. Yet, over the course of the many missions they take on, they will learn to trust each other and become friends. The characters develop their own dynamics and each member will have to face their own personal demons.

One of the leaders of this team is Hayato, a nimble ninja who quietly clears the way between enemies using sword and shuriken. The Mugen samurai prefers a stronger approach and is able to defeat enemies with a single blow, but at the expense of versatility. Aiko is a master of camouflage and is able to distract enemies by dressing up as a geisha. Yuki is an orphan who sets her traps and then lures enemies to their fateful fate. The mysterious shooter Takuma instead relies on his sniper rifle and deals with enemies from afar.

The player must carefully evaluate the options available to him to overcome the missions: how will the characters behave as a team? Who among them has the best equipment for each task? How can they best cope with their missions? Craft your tactics with cunning to defeat enemies and complete missions.
