Mugen wields two swords and can defeat guards in a stand-up fight. Hayato, a traditional ninja, uses throwing shuriken and a stealthy blade. In keeping with the original Shadow Tactics, you control an expert team of assassins. Now you must face this master ninja in a battle of wits and blades. But now she faces her greatest challenge yet when a familiar face from her past emerges: her mentor, Lady Chiyo, aids the enemies of the Shogun. Trained from a young age as a geisha and assassin, Aiko can distract guards with her beauty but can still end lives with a single stroke of her blade. A DLC to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, this story is set right before the finale of the original game and focuses on the female ninja, Aiko. The player has to carefully evaluate his options in order to master the challenging missions: how will the characters behave as a team? Which one is best equipped for each task? How can they best master the given missions? Come up with your own ingenious tactics to vanquish enemies and complete missions.The Shogun’s assassins return in Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice. The mysterious marksman Takuma however, relies on his sniper rifle and takes care of the enemies from a distance. And the street child Yuki places traps and decoys enemies towards their deadly fate. Aiko is a master of camouflage when she distracts enemies disguised as a Geisha. Samurai Mugen prefers a more powerful approach and can defeat more fiends at one time, but thus also forfeiting flexibility. One of the leaders of this team is Hayato, an agile ninja, who clears the way through his enemies silently, with his sword and shuriken. The characters develop their own dynamic and each member will have to face their own personal demons.

Yet over the course of many missions, trust is won and friendships are made.

Working together as a team seems impossible at first. The group is composed of very different personalities. Set traps, poison your opponents or completely avoid enemy contact. Choose your approach when infiltrating mighty castles, snowy mountain monasteries or hidden forest camps. Take control of a team of deadly specialists and sneak in the shadows between dozens of enemies. Shadow Tactics is a hardcore tactical stealth game set in Japan around the Edo period.
