Aiko’s Choice, the long-awaited standalone expansion for the acclaimed real-time tactics game Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. On December 6th 2021, marking the 5th anniversary of the release of the original game, players will once again be sent to the ancient capital of Japan, Edo. There they will accompany the kunoichi adept Aiko and her deadly assassin friends to hunt down the ghosts of her past.
Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun
Aiko´s Choice focuses on one of the main game’s protagonists: the kunoichi adept Aiko. She is a master of camouflage and distracts enemies disguised as a geisha. While Aiko was certain that she left her old life behind, her former sensei, the cunning spymaster Lady Chiyo, reappears from the shadows to challenge her. Together with her friends, a group of deadly assassins, she sets out to hunt down the ghosts of her past.
The expansion features three full-fledged main missions, set in brand-new environments, and three shorter interlude missions.
Like in the main game, you take control of a team of lethal specialists, move in the shadows and sneak past dozens of enemies. Choose your approach wisely when infiltrating hidden forest camps or lively Edo-period towns. Set traps, poison and distract your opponents – or avoid enemy contact altogether. Carefully plan your every move and come up with your own ingenious tactics to vanquish enemies and complete each of the challenging missions to uncover Aiko´s past.
