Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, développé par Mimimi Games et édité par Daedalic Entertainment et Kalypso, est sorti le 6 décembre 2016. Ce jeu de tactique en temps réel, mêlant simulation, stratégie et infiltration, se déroule au Japon en 1615, alors qu'un nouveau Shogun impose la paix et recrute cinq spécialistes de l'assassinat, du sabotage et de l'espionnage pour combattre le mystérieux Kage-sama. L'équipe, composée de Hayato le ninja, Mugen le samouraï, Aïko la maîtresse du déguisement, Yuki l'enfant des rues et Takuma le tireur d'élite, infiltre châteaux et campements tout en développant une dynamique propre au fil de missions marquées par des drames personnels. Le joueur doit planifier méticuleusement les actions de son équipe, utiliser la furtivité et le jeu vertical pour éliminer les ennemis, avec une sauvegarde rapide permettant d'exécuter ses plans. Disponible sur PC, Mac, Linux, PlayStation 4 et 5, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch 2 et autres, le titre affiche un score Metacritic de 85 et un temps de parcours principal d'environ 25 heures. La presse tchèque de LEVEL a salué un jeu intelligent modernisant le gameplay des séries Commandos et Desperados, tandis que Ragequit.gr y a vu un souffle nouveau pour le genre. Certains joueurs sur Metacritic décrivent une expérience de furtivité excellente mais très exigeante, et plusieurs avis Steam positifs recommandent chaudement le titre, certains évoquant déjà l'envie de jouer aux suites.

Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« After many years, we have a clever game with a fantastic design set in the original environment, that upgrades the gameplay of Commandos and Desperados series almost to a piece of art. [Issue #271] »
« Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is the prince's sweet kiss on a beautiful sub-genre which has been sleeping for far too long. A revitalising effort which should be supported whole-heartedly. »
« Shadow Tactics’ impressive missions, laden toy box and likeable cast make it one of the greatest stealth games of the last decade. »
« If the name "Commandos" sparks a welcoming nostalgia feeling then Shadow Tactics should be a game you should not miss. Mimimi Productions manages to convince us beyond doubt that this niche and long forgotten genre is not only far from obsolete, but rather feels as fresh as the first time we put our hands in Pyro’s first endeavour. »
« Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun follows the gold standard of this sub-genre set by the Commandos series: big maps that feel alive, different playable characters, each with their own strengths and weaknesses, and lots of ways to complete a level. »
« The excellent stealth game is equal in everything with its legendary genre predecessors. Must have for all Commandos-series fans. »
« A brilliant tactical puzzle game, interesting story, engaging characters, slick controls and beautiful maps make this a very enjoyable play. It’ll take you while to get through each level but it’s very rewarding when your plans all come together and you feel like a master ninja! »
« There’s a lot going on in Shadow Tactics, the scenarios are really well designed and I enjoyed the game immensely till the end. The only thing I can accuse it of is being too conservative in terms of characters – I wouldn’t mind some more creativity in this department. [01/2017, p.60] »

« Excellent stealth game. But it is very challenging, often VERY challenging. But when you finish a level, it feels extremely satisfying and you can be really proud! Very solid game, no bugs, nice graphics and fun mechanics. »
« Shadow Tactics really shines in its gameplay. The blend of real-time tactics and stealth works extremely well. Each character has unique abilities, allowing for multiple approaches to every mission. The level design and enemy placements constantly push you to think and plan carefully. Successfully executing a well-thought-out strategy is very **** difficulty feels fair—mistakes usually feel like your fault rather than the game being unfair. Controls and camera are also smooth for a strategy title.However, the story doesn’t reach the same level as the gameplay. While the characters are interesting on paper, the narrative doesn’t feel very engaging, and the emotional impact is limited. As a result, the story falls behind the strong tactical experience. »
« Yorumlara bakarak almış ve oynamıştım. Benlik değilmiş oyun. Bir daha böyle yapımlara vakit ayırmasam iyi olur. »
« Love this type of game. There are many cons, like the characters, the story, its development, flexibility and achievements. Cons maybe some control issues. I enjoyed Desperados, was happy to find this jewel. »
« Exhausting .I hate this .The Play style is unique indeed .but no funny at all . felt like I am doing math homework .It is not testing my Patience but wasting my time . The enemy is fool like sitting duck waiting death .Of course I know time on target Tactics .Beside that,I don't think i can learn anything else ,Nothing inspire me .I'm suffering playing this game. »
« Richtig tolles Stealth **** habe es in 2024 nachgeholt nachdem ich schon Desperados gespielt hatte. Insgesamt vom Setting und der WEiterentwicklung fand ich Desperados noch besser aber als eines der 1. Spiele von Mimimi finde ich es großartig. Schade das dieEntwickler die Pforten geschlossen **** freue mich aber bereitsjetzt schon auf Shadow gambit :) »
« Awesome game! One of the best, if not the best stealth game I've ever played. Instead of controlling one character per mission, you control between 2 to 5. Each character has unique abilities, and you can pre-program actions to be executed when needed. The graphics are beautiful and timeless, the soundtrack and Japanese voice acting are great, and the controls are precise. It's a game that will definitely challenge you: the missions themselves aren't huge, but you'll hardly spend less than 1 hour on each (there are some that took me 3 hours). It took me about 35 hours to finish the campaign, but it was worth it. There's no way not to recommend this one. »
« I am too young for to have played the commandos games but i imagine they were just as fun as this one back in the day. Story of shadow tactics was really good definitely worth finishing. »
