Reviews & Please spread the word

Hey guys,

After working on this for more than two years and investing every single cent we had, we are still fighting to get enough coverage online, on social media and with the press.

The best way to support us, if you love the demo and the game, is to talk about Shadow Tactics everywhere: Tell your friends to test the demo (it's free!), post it in your favorite communites etc. -- Let's all make sure together that the revival of this genre is going to be a success! We need your help!

So, here are some of the first reviews for Shadow Tactics -- those journalists already played through the whole game -- that hopefully will convince even more gamers to give Shadow Tactics a try:

German
GameStar[www.gamestar.de], 86, Gold Award
PC Games[www.pcgames.de], 83
4Players[www.4players.de], 85, Gold Award

French
JeuxVideo-Live[www.jeuxvideo-live.com], 85

Spanish
IGN Spain, 85
GAME IT[www.gameit.es], 95

We are super happy with those first results! :)

Best

"Atmospheric and impossible to rush, Shadow Tactics is a fabulous game – a game I think I prefer to both Commandos 2 and Desperados"

This says it all! Great work devs!

I believe you're going to get a ton of sales once it releases :-) if the rest of the game is as good as the demo then word of mouth will spread quickly.

I hyped this a bit at a forum I hang out at, and on Facebook in a gaming group, and people said they were excited :) but had never heard of it. So gaining more awareness really is the challenge.

Alread passed the word on to my friends, I hadn't heard of this until RPS put up a review, but I really enjoyed the demo and it's a definite purchase on the 6th.

Great work capturing the Commandos vibe, I think you're going to see this do really well. I hope it gives you the money and impetus to create more campaigns and more levels as well.

Because you guys gave out review copies early (unlike many devs) the games been visible on the top of PC metacritic for days, that can only help your sales. :)

Hi Devs

Came across this randomly scrolling through upcoming releases, the day before release.

Would have added this one to wishlist ages ago if I'd known, I love this genre and would like to see it reinvigorated. I've spread the word to my friends who were also fans of this genre.

For my good deed for the day I also left a message on Rappack to suggest they should do a let play as they focus on RTS. I am sure like me they probably remember previous games in the genre fondly.

It might be worth sending out some review copies to Total Biscuit and the like. If like me most people don't read online reviews but instead watch Utubers this may help spread the word.
