The verdict
More of the excellent Shadow Tactics stealth gameplay, but only three full missions plus short interludes with nothing new. Skip it at full price or if you haven't played the base game.
Great for
Shadow Tactics fans who finished the base game and want more missions with the same crew
Main risk
Only 3 full missions for a $20 price, so it feels too short and overpriced
