The cones are actually very large so planning ahead is vital though the game gives you all the tools you need to succeed.Ĭones have two states, closer to the enemy they’ll be solid which means if you enter that area then you will quickly be spotted. That’s right, it’s one of those games, fighting anyone head on will not end well for you. Left on the d-pad allows you to highlight specific enemies and see, one at time, where their vision cone covers. You control whichever character you have selected directly with the left stick, there’s no mouse pointer here, you can crouch, interact with the environment, attack enemies and use items with the face buttons. They do a great job though and I got used to them and can’t say I could ever blame them for my errors. The controls actually take quite some getting used to as multiple actions are assigned to certain buttons and context pays a strong part in which actions you’ll be performing. In a mission you have an isometric view of the map and can pan, zoom and rotate the camera as you see fit to plan out your moves.
There are cutscenes between each level and your characters chat throughout missions but the story itself is quite simple but works as a good excuse for a variety of missions. There are five characters and each has their own personality and skills to bring to the mission. You control a rag-tag group working for the Shogun, protecting him, his people and killing his enemies. Being a slower paced, strategy-stealth game you might think it an odd choice for a console port but that just makes it all the more impressive that it totally works. Released on PC last year to critical acclaim, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun has made its way to PS4.
