Or do you program all three to leap from the ocean and stab the guards in the neck at the press of a key, ending all three cries of alarm at once? Experimenting, and seeing how each new island layout negates the previous’ winning strategies, is all part of the fun.ĭespite the name, Aiko's Choice gives you all of the game's original heroes to control - something which the original game did only once. Maybe you fling a vial of Aiko’s blinding perfume at a sniper and shank a nearby guard while his view cone recovers. Perhaps you find a secluded beach and use Yuki’s flute to lure a guard to a pressure-activated dart trap. And so begins the vital first step: the first kill that weakens the surveillance network. You swim around the outside, submerged but for a bamboo snorkel, getting a read on sightlines and confirming that, yes, every guard falls under the watchful eye of another. Matthew already got his hands on the hilt of the expansion, and loved his time with it:Ī self-contained island is a perfect showcase for what Shadow Tactics is about. That's an absurdly good game for an absurdly low price. If you never played the original, it's also currently on sale via a bundle or on its own for a 90% discount of £3.49. You can pick Aiko's Choice up from Steam now for £15.29/€17.99 after a 10% launch discount. It's five years since the original game, so if you yearn for more sneaking and stabbing in Edo Japan, then here it is. Aiko's Choice, the standalone expansion of the wonderful real-time tactics of Shadow Tactics, is out now.
