Tactical combat fits into just about any videogame setting. The Commandos series takes place during the Second World War. Mimimi Productions set Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun in feudal Japan, Shadow Gambit: The Cursed Crew in an alternate history Golden Age of Piracy, and revived the late 19th century set Desperados with Desperados 3. XCOM involves a sci fi alien invasion and Marvel’s Midnight Suns is filled with superhero battles. Even the Gears of War shooter series fit into the genre well with Gears Tactics. It isn’t surprising, then, that the upcoming Shadow of the Road‘s premise – a 19th century Japan where steampunk technology and creatures from folklore exist – would look so promising when it uses a blend of tactical combat and RPG game storytelling for its design.
