Mimimi Productions never made a strategy title and Daedelic themselves made Blackguards, so why are they collaborating on this?

One the hand it looks kind of interesting, on the other - the visuals reek of some tablet kiddie design.

This game is like commando's.. PERFECT! This game runs on consoles.. what? You clearly need a mouse to play this kind of game, it's why the Commando's series died in the first place, catering to consoles.. to popamole fps garbage like strike force. Commando's 1 and 2 were so good.. so good

They are looking for alpha/beta testers, you can contact them on their site if interested. I'm going to wait this one out.

It's so they can set it whenever without much attention to period details. Although to be honest, this is the kind of game where being part of Shinsengumi or something would make sense.

I always cringe when the plot for the game is "you are [x] in service of the Shogun"...

WHICH FUCKING SHOGUN, FFS!
According to the video posted above's description:
"In the year 1615, a new Shogun rises to power in Japan and strives to bring peace to the realm."

Considering Hidetada was in office from 1605 to 1623 the answer to your question seems to be "Fantasy bollocks lol".

Lieber Medienpartner,

ab sofort ist die Review-Version von Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun, dem Echtzeit-Taktik-Spiel mit Stealth-Elementen von Daedalic Entertainment und Mimimi Productions, offiziell verfügbar. Damit ist das actionreiche Spiel knapp einen Monat vor Release voll spielbar. Für einen Review-Key melden Sie sich gern bei mir.

Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun erscheint am 06. Dezember 2016 für PC.

The review version is going out 4 weeks before release. Might take that as a good sign.

Price: 40 bucks

2) There are 13 missions in the game and it takes about 25 hours to complete your first playthrough. But replay value is very high, so you can spend lots of time in the game after that.

Played a bit. Performs badly on my toaster. Game defaulted to shitty integrated graphics card. No problems after I tweaked settings.
Optional Japanese VA is nice.

Finished the demo. Alas, the second mission is time limited, but the first gave aplenty content to make up one's mind. It's definitely fun and honoring the spirit of Commandos. Will buy sometime down the road for 50% off or so.
