Deal | With 96% positive reviews, this tactical game set in feudal Japan is 90% off on Steam

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is a tactical stealth game published by Daedalic Entertainment on December 6, 2016. Developed by Mimimi Games, its story plunges you into feudal Japan during the Edo period, when a new shogun came to power and brought peace.

However, a mysterious warlord named Kage-sama is threatening the balance of the kingdom. Faced with this danger, you must lead a team of specialists and complete various missions, such as sabotage and espionage. 

There are five characters available, such as Hayato, an agile ninja and the team leader, Mugen, a samurai who can deliver powerful attacks, Aiko, a master of camouflage, Yuki, who can place various traps, and Takuma, a mysterious sniper. 

But be careful, because even though their abilities are powerful, you’ll need to analyze the situation and develop different strategies before each mission. As a result, there are many ways to achieve your objective, whether you're in a castle, a monastery, or a forest.

Since its release in 2016, players have left more than 38,260 reviews on Steam, and 96% of them are positive. This game is highly praised for its gameplay, graphics, and story. However, despite its many strengths, it does have a few flaws. Some players have reported bugs related to character movement, and the difficulty is also high.

Nevertheless, Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is currently 90% off on Steam until June 16, 2026. As a result, it’s priced at $3.99 instead of $39.99, according to SteamDB. But if you want to try it first, a demo is also available.
