Only one guard's view can be observed at any time, although a placeable marker will detect those currently looking at that position. Detection often results in damage taken by one or more characters, and killing the irate guards or trying to hide without further injury is near impossible any character death is a mission failure and limited health packs make detection a problem best avoided. Although it is possible to run through view cones, spending too long in one will result in detection that brings trigger-happy reinforcements to search the area thoroughly. Each guard has a view cone, with a light-green area that will detect any incursion and a dark-green area that can be crawled through. Guards are everywhere and some will patrol repeatedly. Although most levels do not feature the entire squad-typically players only control two to four pre-selected characters-the levels are designed carefully around their abilities. Players will utilize the strengths of characters in thirteen sizable levels packed with foes. The consistent yet subtle delivery of story proves additional reward as levels are completed. Over time, a strong bond develops and characters become likable due to their attitudes, rather than their proficient ninja skills. The squad forms in the opening missions of the game, and there is some disagreement. Character histories and their motivations are slowly revealed via crisp dialogue, cut scenes, and animated sequences between levels. These differences need to be taken into account as they can lead to victory, defeat, or Seppuku.ĭuring missions, the idiosyncrasies of these characters' personalities are also exposed. Hayato can perform the quickest melee kill while Takuma is the slowest when running due to his injured leg. For example, Yuki can only slowly drag bodies while crouching whereas Mugen can run and carry two at once. The differences between the squad members are not just from their main abilities subtle changes are important given the strategic time constraints. Finally there is Aiko, who can wear disguises to walk freely among her enemies before stabbing them in the back and throwing their body into the bushes. Mugen is the leader of the ragtag group, and he can either use his sword to kill multiple enemies or place a bottle of delicious saké to lure foes.
There is also Hayato, a ninja mercenary who can throw a deadly Shuriken or briefly distract with a stone. Takuma is the old sniper, and despite his crankiness he can throw grenades and use a pet Tanuki to distract guards. You've read about Yuki-she's a young thief with the ability to set traps and call guards with a whistle. The five squad members working for the Shogun have different skills.
They'll have to get their hands dirty-and their blades bloody. To aid the Shogun, the unconventional squad will use their sneaky abilities to steal information, overhear conversations, kidnap VIPs, and eliminate conspirators. While this rebel leader's identity is a secret, the threat is real. Unfortunately that peace is under threat by a mysterious foe that leads a rebellion in hopes to overthrow the Shogun. Set in feudal Japan during the Edo period, players will command a newly-formed squad of five unique characters that work for the Shogun in a time of relative peace. Fortunately the team at Mimimi Productions was sick of waiting for a proper sequel and have taken it upon themselves to produce a spiritual successor that shares some core foundations with the Commandos series, in a different setting.
