About Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice

✦ AI summary

Lead a team of five deadly assassins through beautifully crafted Edo Japan in this stealth strategy game centered on the kunoichi Aiko as she confronts her shadowy past. Plan your approach carefully, synchronize your team's unique abilities, and execute your tactics flawlessly to outwit enemies through poison, traps, distractions, or silent elimination.


Return to the beautiful world of Edo Japan



Set in Japan around the early Edo period, Aiko's Choice is a stealth strategy game that takes place within the story of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun. The expansion 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.
Although Aiko was certain that she left her old life behind her, Aiko's former sensei, the cunning spymaster Lady Chiyo, reappears from the shadows to challenge her. Together with her deadly companions she sets out to hunt down the ghosts of her past...

Play a team of five unique assassins



In the style of the main game, you take control of five skillful assassins, including Aiko, to sneak in the shadows between dozens of enemies. Aiko's companions are just as deadly as her:
Hayato is an agile ninja, who clears the way silently with his sword and shuriken. The mighty samurai Mugen prefers a more powerful approach and can defeat multiple foes at once. Yuki is a young thief, who places traps and decoys enemies towards their deadly fate. The wise marksman Takuma, however, relies on his sniper rifle and distracts enemies with his loyal pet companion Kuma.

Define your playstyle



Choose your approach when infiltrating enemy bases in hidden forest camps or lively Edo period towns. Set traps, poison and distract your opponents – or avoid enemy contact completely. Carefully plan your every move, utilize your characters' unique skills and execute your own ingenious tactics to outwit your enemies on the challenging missions that lie ahead!
  • Return to the beautiful world of Shadow Tactics set in Japan, early Edo period.
  • Rejoin your favorite characters for another adventure set within the story of the main game Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun.
  • Experience a previously untold tale centered around the kunoichi adept Aiko, who must face a vicious enemy connected to her past.
  • Explore three fully fledged main missions, set in brand-new environments, and three shorter interlude missions.

The expansion includes all the features of the main game

  • Play a team of five different characters with their unique skill sets.
  • Synchronize your team's actions to strike down your enemies at once with the "Shadow Mode" feature.
  • Choose between non-lethal or deadly stealth attacks.
  • Find dozens of ways to take out or sneak past your opponents the way you want.
  • Choose from three difficulty levels to match your skill.

Disclaimer: You don't require a copy of Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun to play Aiko's Choice. Even though you can enjoy this standalone expansion on its own, we recommend playing at least the first few missions of the main game to get a feeling of the game's mechanics as well as the characters and story!

We are very happy to finally return to Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun after all these years, and we hope that we were able to convert that joy into this standalone expansion. Join us on another visit… to Japan, early Edo period.

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ AI summary

Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice is praised as an excellent tactical stealth game with unique character abilities that encourage creative experimentation and strategic planning, though players note it functions as a substantial expansion rather than a full sequel with around 6-40 hours of content depending on completion goals. Common feedback suggests the game is worth purchasing if found on sale, as the base campaign can be completed relatively quickly, though completionists pursuing all achievements and challenges will find significantly more replay value.

Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice It's more Shadow Tactics, and more Shadow Tactics is good Shadow Tactics. Thumbs up, and let's hope for Shadow Tactics 2! tt's a bit short sadly, but the end was very heartwarming :> I really liked all the additional stories between the characters. I love this world and the characters so much.

Great game, reminds me of the Commandos series back in the day. Since I was craving that style but didn't want to play anything too long, this game was a pretty good choice.

[h1] DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review [/h1] Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice is a game developed by Mimimi Productions and published by Daedalic Entertainment and is an expansion in the Shadow Tactics story You can choose to kill as a lone wolf or chain a sequence of actions between two or more mission specific heroes. Group takedowns set the scene for some remarkable assassinations. Each hero is designed for a specific purpose and the balancing is perfect. The five heroes specialise in their own respective area of expertise: close-quarters, ranged, stealth/covert, and trap-setter. The overall package of one hero completes the shortcomings of the next hero. The game offers multiple hotkeys and multi-select feature and the gameplay is not cluttered with an extravagant array of actions or overly-detailed HUD. You can also rebind every action. Even the save and load keys Graphically, Shadow Tactics: Aiko's Choice boasts a beautiful side-down cell-shaded art direction. You can rotate the camera freely or with 90-degree presets. You can zoom in and out and freely scout the map ahead and plan your phase of engagement accordingly. Additional desig…
