Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Launched: July 2017
Playable on: Luna, PC, PlayStation, Xbox
Yeah, Shadow Tactics is a strategic masterclass—as we’ve covered previously—but it’s also one that leans heavily into its setting. Evoking the spirit of an old Samurai flick starring mismatched warriors having to work together to overcome seemingly overwhelming odds, it also has one of the neatest and most underrated implementations of a Japanese language track in a Western game you’ll ever see. Or hear. – Luke Plunkett, Senior Writer (Nights)
