I suggest playing the base game first, though, if for no other reason than to get up to speed on the mechanics. Added to that are the game’s lovely art and music, a cast of engaging characters, and an interesting story. Effectively completing the game’s missions is satisfying in the same way as solving a tough puzzle. The new experience is quite shorter than the original title but the level design is done so masterfully that you want to keep coming back to these new levels and try different approaches.Īiko's Choice is a polished, challenging, and welcome – though a bit short – standalone expansion to the exceptional Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.īoth new and returning players will be challenged by Aiko’s Choice, but the rewards are worth the effort.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun – Aiko’s Choice is an exceptional stealth tactics game, and one of the best expansions to exist.Ī masterful, methodical journey through the shadows of Edo Japan – brilliantly polished and perfectly paced, my only real sadness is that there was not more of it.īazimag - Sina Golabzade - Persian - 9 / 10Īiko’s Choice brings back the heroes of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun for another brilliant adventure in espionage, sabotage and assassination.

The gameplay doesn’t stray from the expected, but it is extremely polished and engaging all the way through. Aiko’s Choice offers enough to bring new players in at a smaller price point and satiate the fans it has made the last five years – and that’s worth celebrating. This standalone expansion is only a taste of the incredible gameplay, and should encourage anyone to go get the main game, or even replay it. Saving Content - Scott Ellison II - 5 / 5
