The action of Assassin’s Creed: Shadows takes us to the turbulent period of 16th-century Japan. It is an era of civil wars, great reforms, armed conflicts and power rivalry. As in the previous parts, the plot of the game is based on the conflict between the Assassins and the Templar Order.

The game is set during the invasion of the Iga province, where we play as two characters with different origins and skills: Naoe, a trained shinobi from the Iga clan, and Yasuke, a black samurai serving Oda. At the beginning of the story, the heroes are opponents, but over time they learn to cooperate to achieve a common goal.

Game type:

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows is an action-adventure game set in an open world, combining elements of stealth, combat and exploration. This part features several improvements over previous instalments of the series, including seasons or the ability to change characters, as well as the mechanics of increasing the challenge, which will not let you get bored with the game.

How to play:

In Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, the basis of the game is the exploration of the open world of Japan divided into three main regions: Arima, Iga and Omi. You can freely move between cities, castles and temples, as well as use the parkour system to move on roofs and terrain obstacles.

Sneaking here is important, and therefore advanced – in addition to hiding in tall grass and behind obstacles, it is also possible to manipulate light, thanks to which you will be able to destroy sources of light or use dynamic shadows to hide from opponents.

You can freely switch between two characters – Naoe, who prefers silent eliminations and parkour, while Yasuke is best in open combat, using katanas, naginata and firearms.

Both characters have individual skill trees and the ability to develop equipment. The game also features the option of building your own spy network, which allows you to gain valuable information and plan your next moves.

Seasons introduce great dynamics, and each mission can proceed differently depending on the surrounding conditions.
