Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun free playable demo out now

Two playable missions let you try out characters and tactics; Brand new screenshots available; Exclusive developer stream on Facebook

As of today, the playable demo of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun is available on Steam and GOG. The upcoming game by Daedalic Entertainment and Mimimi Productions marks the long awaited (by some of us at least) comeback of the real-time tactics genre.

The demo version gives players a sneak peek of what to expect from the final game, including five simultaneously playable characters with unique and versatile skills. Shadow Tactics is said to feature 13 missions with an average 25 hours of game time and a free moving isometric camera perspective in the beautiful environments of the Edo period of ancient Japan.

As with these types of games, stealth is the key to successfully completing missions, vanquishing enemies, and becoming a strategic mastermind.

The demo version is now available for free:

From Steam

From GOG

Developer Mimimi Productions will also be live with a Facebook stream tonight (Nov 21st), showcasing the missions in the demo.
